Flattering and so versatile, wide leg trousers are a staple when it comes to autumn dressing. Whether you’re dressing for daytime or looking to elevate your evening look, discover five easy wide leg trouser outfit ideas for effortless dressing all season long.
Wide leg trousers aren’t new to fashion. In fact, they’ve been in vogue since the 1920s, when women wore them as a more comfortable alternative to traditional skirts.
Despite this, a wide leg trouser outfit feels unmistakably modern. With a tailored yet relaxed feel, it has that fashionable smart-casual balance that works for almost any occasion – and looks stylish season after season.
Wide leg trousers look the part – and feel it too. The wider leg cut is effortlessly comfortable and easy to wear, especially in stretch fabrics like ponte jersey that move with you all day. This makes them a wonderful alternative to jeans, without ever compromising on style.
What’s more, the wide leg cut enhances the shape of your figure thanks to the way it makes your legs look longer. For style with comfort, there really is nothing better than a wide leg trouser outfit.

With a plain tee
Sometimes, all you need is a plain tee to complete the look. With so many colours, prints and patterns to choose from, putting together a stylish wide leg trouser outfit has never been easier. Choose timeless pinstripes or go bold with ikat patterns or geometrics – it’s the perfect time to show your style.
And because texture is the perfect way to add interest to your look, you’ll find a choice of materials like jacquard, suede and warm wool. Whatever you choose, a simple tee in cream, white or navy completes the outfit beautifully.
With a blouse
For a softer, more feminine take on wide leg trousers, a pretty blouseis the perfect partner. It brings that effortless elegance that feels just right for more dressed-up occasions - from a gallery visit to a lunch with friends.
Look for styles with delicate ruffles or trims that complement the fluid silhouette of the trousers. Floaty fabrics like silk or chiffon also create a softer look and give your outfit a wonderfully light, graceful feel.

Wide leg trousers are nothing if not versatile – comfortable in the day then easy to dress up for evening. That's part of what makes them such a reliable wardrobe staple, whatever the occasion.
For an effortlessly dressed-up outfit, pair your wide leg trousers with a simple knit or roll neck then add bold accessoriesto update the look. A chunky necklace is one of the easiest ways to give a wide leg trouser outfit an instant modern feel – and because it works with so many different styles, it earns its place in your jewellery box time and again.
A stylish belt is a great accessory to have to hand too. Simply tuck in your top for the feel of a whole new outfit – and a beautiful, figure-flattering outline.
With a knit
Wide leg trousers are at home in every season, but now that the cooler weather is here, there’s no better way to style them than with a cosy knit.Treat yourself to sumptuous knits made from natural yarns like merino or lambswool, and stay warm no matter how chilly it gets.
And if you really want to lean into the season, look for wide leg trousers in luxurious wool blends. Soft and cosy, they’re a go-to now and right through to winter.

With trainers
Complement the modern feel of your wide leg trousers with a pair of trainers. Soft stretch jersey trousers with white trainers and a simple tee is a combination we love – the perfect, practical look for a day of errands.
White trainers are a capsule wardrobe essential not just because they go with everything, but because they strike the balance between casual and neat. Wear them with your wide leg trousers, of course, but also with jeans, dresses or a skirt when you want a practical option that is ideal to wear in the day.
