Wide Leg Pants Are the Cool Girl’s Answer to Skinny Jeans

Like the seasons, trends are very cyclical; what goes around comes around. For spring, one of the biggest trends was wide-leg pants, a nod to the 70s that’s been embraced by everyone from Alexa Chung to Kenya Kinski-Jones. The retro style hits the benchmarks of being both totally classic and completely modern, making it the ultimate wardrobe staple. To make the piece equal parts fashion-forward and ladylike, like Kinski-Jones, opt for a pair of khakis by cool New York brands like Monse and Marc Jacobs paired with a structured striped button-down, and top off the look with that ever-popular Balenciaga baseball cap for a sporty flare. For a quirky take on the trend, look to Stella McCartney and MDS Stripes for some printed slacks that pair well with a simple top and some great accessories.
