I don’t know where this year has gone. It seems like just last week we had rounded up our autumn buys, and now our editors are busy compiling gift guides for the Christmas season. As we’re coming to the final months of 2022, I looked back at the most important trends of the year, and none stood out as much as wide-leg trousers.
The oversized silhouette has taken hold of the fashion scene. From baggy jeans to puddle pants, so many micro-trends have resulted from the power of the wide-leg trouser. And with a new year on the horizon, there’s no sign that this trend will be going anywhere. If you’ve already embraced wide-leg trousers into your wardrobe, you’ll understand how versatile they truly are—perfect for wearing to work, evenings out and on weekends. Many wide-leg styles are tailored, adding an elevated feel to everyday looks. They style works seamlessly with so many tops, from relaxed T-shirts to sleek satin shirts. What’s more, they also go with lots of shoes. We’ve seen throughout the warmer months that wide-leg styles look great with sandals and trainers alike, but with the party season ahead, I took it upon myself to prove that this trouser style looks particularly incredible (and expensive) when paired with heels, and I’ve brought proof.
