Wide Leg Jean Outfit Recipe

Flustered trying to figure out your baggy wide leg jeans? Steal my go to classic outfit recipe and leave those frustrating frumpy jean feelings behind. Here’s how…

• Fitted black top (Long sleeve or sweater in winter or ribbed tank in summer) 

Not a fan of fitted tops? Lookout for tomorrow’s post where I’ll show you a looser option to pair with your wide leg jeans! 

• Black belt
• Wide leg jeans (substitute for a baggy jean, straight leg denim, trouser, or wide leg crop but avoid a skinny jean with this look as that takes away the proportional contrast and balance of this “tiny top baggy bottom” recipe)
• Black shoes on bottom to complete the outfit sandwich
• Don’t forget a few well chosen accessories like a matching or contrasting bag and capsule jewelry

This simple color pallet is easy to add a layer like a long coat or cropped jacket.

You can also substitute with other colors in your closet, but I love the classy feel of black sandwiching your denim.

If you mix up the pallet consider keeping your belt and shoes a similar shade to your top.

A Note on Jean Sizing: If you're unsure of your size, take your regular even size number and go up to the closest odd number. For instance, if you are a size 8, then try a CJLA size 9.
