But while trends are what Zara is known for, they’re not what I believe the brand does best. Now, I frequent them as often as possible, testing out products and seeing what new trends they’ve come up with since the last drop a few days prior. I’ve talked up the Spanish fashion brand for as long as I can remember, ever since I first stepped foot into one of its brick-and-mortar stores way back in middle school. That being said, neither is responsible for my all-time favorite pairs. Apart from shoes, denim is, without a doubt, the fashion item that I own the most styles of, with everything from vintage Levi’s to $300+ designer denim lining the top shelf of my closet.

Whether you lean cropped or baggy, high-rise or low, your pair of best wide-leg jeans is awaiting ahead.I live in an apartment the size of some people’s master bathrooms, and yet I still manage to make room for what many would argue are way too many pairs of jeans.

Once you find your dream silhouette, 'the right pair of wide-leg jeans can be worn effortlessly,' Ahmed says. 'To pull the whole look together, I pare back to a sneaker for a more casual 'fit or go with a sandal, ankle boot, or loafer for a polished feel.' 'Adding a blazer on top or dressing up an oversized shirt always does the job,' she says. Lee often tucks the front of a simple tee or sweatshirt into her pairs, then layers up from there. When it's time to build an outfit, wide-leg jeans look put together with just a few basics. 'Most importantly, should be comfortable and make you feel good.' Inseam length, curved waistbands, and carefully placed pockets can make or break the fit, she adds. 'Make sure that your jeans fit you properly, as any pulling or sagging will only get worse over time,' she says. Sarah Ahmed, cofounder and chief creative officer at DL1961, and founder of Warp + Weft, encourages exploring your options across fit and feel.
