The humble wide-leg trouser is a wardrobe staple not to be underestimated. Dress it up with a smart cotton shirt and you have an elevated weekday look that will have you feeling polished and poised all day. Or, style it with a graphic tee and some chunky sandals and you’re crafted a laidback outfit that feels just as comfortable as your favourite pyjamas.
Whilst I’ll preach the importance of a great wide-leg pair of trousers day and night, I’m not the only one who reaches for this wardrobe staple most days of the week. Although they’re equipped with generous budgets, in-demand stylists and a front row seats at major runway shows, celebrities also find themselves coming back to this underrated trouser time and time again.
As a lover of great wide-leg trousers with a penchant for keeping up with the best celebrity looks, below I’ve chronicled four of my favourite celebrity wide-leg trouser outfits to keep my styling inspiration topped up. From Jennifer Lawrence to Jasmine Tookes, read on to discover how the celebrities are styling their wide-leg trousers this season.
