Do’s and Don’ts when Styling Wide Leg Jeans | Fashion Over 40

[@TamiThePinkHairedGirl]

My favorite wide leg jeans are my Free People Moxie barrel jeans, and my vintage American Eagle hipster wide leg jeans.

[@dianedesrosiers1514]

I love my Old Navy Wow wide leg jeans

[@user-zj6np3we4j]

I like that style too and they have been on sale.

[@StylishandGrateful]

I’m totally motivated for an Old Navy haul!😎🌻

[@JenEdin]

I liked those too, but they never have my size.

[@tenekqua1]

Great video and style tips! My favorite brands of Wide leg jeans and trousers are from Old Navy and American Eagle... Which both have good short and petite sizes... Thank you for sharing!!

[@StylishandGrateful]

Glad you liked it 😊💕 and thank you for the recommendations for petite/short options.🌻

[@jackiebaker1678]

I love mine from old navy!

[@tenekqua1]

My Old Navy jeans are my favorite as well!

[@StylishandGrateful]

Ok 👍 I’ll need to check them out too 😎🌻

[@joliz1234]

Hi Liz, Great tips. I love wide leg pants, hope they hang around for a long time.❤

[@StylishandGrateful]

Morning Joann 😊💕I hope so too!

[@Suzyslly]

Wide leg, high risejeans are the best thing that ever happened to me. I am a long waisted, petite pear.

[@mpg314]

My wide leg jeans from Chico’s soft denim are very comfortable and my new one is a barrel leg jean from Free People which I adore

[@rosej9686]

Great tips, Liz! I have two pairs of wide-leg jeans from the Scoop brand at Wal-Mart that I've had for probably three years now, so I'm glad to see they're still trending. When I started wearing mine at work (retired now), everyone else was still wearing skinny jeans! 😅

[@StylishandGrateful]

Oohhh the skinny jeans I kind of cringe when I see myself in those looking back 🤣 I have heard Walmart had some nice options,unfortunately for me Walmart and several other affordable store similar don’t carry long and so I have to search wider. But this is good to know for the petites out there! Thank you Rose!!❤️😊

[@doricetimko5403]

I got one of my favorite and comfortable wide leg jeans (in grey) a few years back. They’re washing and wearing well

[@janettebolin2991]

I’m loving this wide leg pants trend!

[@pytg4213]

Wide leg denim and wide leg trousers...I 💖💖 them all! 😊😎 I feel that I need a trip to the mall...to get to Chico's. ☺ Tfs 🌿🌺🌿

[@StylishandGrateful]

Hi Pyt💕😊 I know Chico’s was a surprise to me. But I love the size range and fit they have in bottoms. You gotta try it out and let me know what you think.

[@pytg4213]

@@StylishandGrateful I most certainly will, Liz! 😊💕 Have a wonderful week! 🌿🌸🌿

[@AJ-jx5gz]

Just no

[@kellihightower4328]

Hi, I have about 5 pairs of wide leg denim that I purchased this year. The ones from Chico’s are my favorite too!

[@StylishandGrateful]

Nice! They’re so soft and comfy!🌻😊

[@Sbean1022]

I do love a wide leg cropped (I'm 5'10") and I always get compliments and get asked where I got them!

[@mkel858]

I just bought a pair of wide leg off white jeans at Kohl's the Draper James fit perfect, and were on sale plus Kohl's cash got them under $25 I was so please, I also bought from Chicos the kick flare and love them also.

[@StylishandGrateful]

Nice!!❤️

[@gratefulprepsnj]

Thank you as always. So helpful

[@StylishandGrateful]

You are so welcome!🌻😊

Good morning, Liz. I've just recently gotten into the wide leg jean style. I'm guilty of baggy over baggy. I'm just more comfortable. I prefer doing a front tuck if the top is oversized. I love American Eagle jeans, since they offer short sizes. Nothing is ever low rised on me, being short waisted. I prefer a mid rise as well. I think if the jeans are too long, they look sloppy. Rag&Bone were my go to for skinny jeans. I haven't worn them in months, says the woman who was never going to stop wearing skinny jeans, LOL. Thanks for the video. Enjoy your Sunday. 💞💞

[@StylishandGrateful]

Morning Rene 😊💕 Just a tiny tuck and you can still wear an oversized look. It is comfy.🌻 ohhh the skinny jean…. I’m sure it’ll be back someday again😁

[@reneklein6049]

​@@StylishandGratefulI remember when I thought I'd never wear skinny jeans. 😅 You are so right. Like everything else, they'll make a comeback! Front or side tucking is the best! My husband hates it, but what does he know! Men just don't get fashion. 🤦‍♀️

[@jessicagraham4872]

Old Navy or GAP are where I get mine

[@StylishandGrateful]

I keep hearing this! I’ll need to check those out💕😊

[@robertafraser6885]

Hey thanks for being so down to earth! Good info, I’m just now getting into wide-legs as I’m 61 and live in Indiana 😂

[@StylishandGrateful]

Happy to help! And thank you! 😊

[@mary33909]

I’m SO HAPPY to see skinny jeans and jeggings go into the garbage pile

[@StylishandGrateful]

Haha I agree 😉🌻

[@cutiepie2095]

Latest runways are featuring skinny jeans. They’re not going anywhere!

[@elizabethharalson7903]

I've never understood wearing jeans that look like rags. ( or buying something that someone else ripped up .)

[@urchickie]

I always thought it was designed for the young people. I don’t think adults can get away with it.

[@azillliasmith2734]

That wall paper is lovely ❤

[@azillliasmith2734]

Think it depends on your general style and shape....I love distressed worn denim and have done for years long before the recent-ish re revival ......but it's what you feel comfortable is it not.... if you don't care for it don't wear it....

[@cavgrey8]

I rock distressed style all the time. It’s all in how it’s put together & how you carry yourself.

[@makeupforfun808]

Have you tried American Eagle Stretch high waisted Stovepipe utility pants? Quality is great (size 1 down as stretch is really good) and the fit is great too! The leg is wide but not obnoxiously wide. Good for us older generation who want to stay on trend but not look sloppy. Slimming too which is what I look for ALWAYS 🤭.

[@StylishandGrateful]

I'll check it out! Thank you for sharing😊🌻

[@elizabethpeterson455]

At 5FT 11IN tall I'm never going to find jeans or trousers long enough now that New York and Company is gone😮....they all are just a tad or a lot too short...story of my life I guess....

[@StylishandGrateful]

There’s a few brands that have really long inseams that come to my mind; Bootbarn, GAP, JCrew, MOTHER, PAIGE.

[@cjenkins1957]

@@StylishandGratefultry American Eagle, they have extra long. I’m a size 4 with a 36” inseam and I love AE.

[@karynstouffer3562]

Great suggestions from others, I'd also suggest trying out a western wear store. My grandma and a cousin were both over 6' tall. They swore by Wrangler, and my cousin also found some styles in the Lucky brand that she loved.

[@doricetimko5403]

Free people jeans run long

[@DebOb-tl7nn]

Good advice

[@StylishandGrateful]

Glad you think so! Thank you for watching and commenting😊🌻

[@Ellen-hy4zj]

I love my wife leg jeans. I found them at J CPenney for a steal. They have a medium rise and wash.

[@doricetimko5403]

Medium rise works for me as I’ve got shorter torso; the weight of the pants is better balanced

[@lynndupree1205]

The point of the wide leg is to accentuate the smaller waistline. The leg width should be moderately wide. And then if the waistline sits high on the torso, it can really make the waist look small by comparison. Obviously you need to reveal the waistline, not conceal it under a baggy top.

[@DesireLL-l3z]

Wide legs are a no no for short people with short legs .

[@StylishandGrateful]

[@sfurlong0712]

There is a rule for all women. I can't wear a long dress or one that hits knee to just below. I can wear tea length or above the knee. Trends come and go, wear what makes you happy and suits you in "your" mirror. I have a loose tapered ankle leg from Old Navy. If you're interested in trying. I do have long legs but the cut may work for you.

[@JenEdin]

Agreed. Even though I have long legs, I have a short torso, so wide leg overwhelms me. I opt for BOOT CUT and STRAIGHT bc they’re leaner in the hips & knees, which flatter me.

[@R.T-m8q]

The rules,bottom wide Top fit,with pointed shoos,or sandals.

[@justjo6305]

I’m still searching for the perfect one that doesn’t make my waist look too short

[@cavgrey8]

Jeans are like swimsuits. Wear whatever you feel comfortable & it fits your style.

[@yolandacastillo6312]

Any shoe suggestions for a wide legged, cropped slack. I bought them for summer; but they are so comfy I’d like to wear them in the fall and winter

[@StylishandGrateful]

I’m not a fan of cropped pants personally, but it would depend on the season. If your ankle is out it should be a slimmer more delicate elongating shoe.🌻

[@elainehearod7013]

You look great

[@elainehearod7013]

I like Susan Graver from QVC

[@StylishandGrateful]

Thank you 😊🌻

[@caroltombari9112]

Wide leg denim is still a big no for me. I don't need the extra 20 pounds. Thank goodness for straight leg denim. Definitely love the higher waist, so flattering and comfortable. It is interesting to hear how opinionated people are about this issue. I hear more people disliking wide legs than liking them.

[@barbhansen5292]

I think the way oversized look sloppy. Just me thoughts

[@IamMagsB]

Wide leg only look nice on skinny women., if you have a big belly and no waist, stay away! period!
