Skinny silhouettes may have had their reign, but fashion has loosened up-literally. Wide-leg pants are taking over wardrobes in every fabric, from soft drapey trousers to structured denim. They're roomy, they're relaxed, and they somehow make even a plain tee feel intentional. In short: wide-leg pants prove bigger really is better. Naturally, the celebrity set is already on board. Hailey Bieber was spotted out in slouchy, low-rise denim while Jessica Alba shared a mirror selfie in a tailored trouser set following an appearance on Aspire with Emma Grede, entrepreneur and founder of Good American. And of course, Sydney Sweeney made headlines with her American Eagle campaign, sparking plenty of buzz about all the ways to wear wide-leg denim. With stars styling them in so many ways, the wide-leg wave is officially impossible to ignore.
