Wide leg trousers

I wear loose trousers because if I wore close fitting trousers I'd be the shape of an apple with wee legs hanging down.

I am 5ft 1 and love wide leg trousers. I have been wearing them for years, long before they became this years fashion. They look better with a fitted top. So comfortable. I get mine from Bonmarche because they are one of the few places now that cater for petite ladies.

Wide-leg trousers are stylish and comfortable, suitable for casual and elegant looks. A balanced silhouette is created by these garments, which flatter most body types. Pair them with a fitted top to highlight your shape. Linen or denim, they’re timeless wardrobe staples.

Wide-leg trousers are making a stylish comeback, and it's great to see discussion around them. They’re comfortable, flattering, and can be dressed up or down effortlessly. I love how they suit all ages and body types when styled right.

I bought these for a recent holiday. I'm 5'4 so they almost came down to my ankles, even though they're cropped, lol.

I'm 5' and feel they don't suit me. Having said that it's becoming increasingly difficult to find normal width. I expect by the time I get a pair they will be on the way out.

Sorry just not for me ss I have very slim legs and they just look ridiculous on me!

Cotton Traders have 27” 4allweknow

I have three pairs from some years ago. ( Sometimes it pays to keep things! ) I’m 5’ 1”. Short fitted or boxy tops go well. I might add a cardigan, but definitely not a long one. I wear flat shoes.

Been out to the city today hoping to buy two pairs of wide leg trousers for summer. I'm 5'6" but found the length of all the trousers about 6" too long. I then started to look at folk wearing them and most had them trailing on the ground at the back, dirty lines on the edge. Where do I find them with a 27" inside leg?

Bought mine for the first time from M&S’s outlet shop so they weren’t too expensive. Needed a bit of convincing that they looked ok but I’m happy with them now. I tend to wear flat sandals being 5’7” and a T-shirt tucked in at the front.

I have a pair of navy & white striped wide trousers from Joseph Ribkoff. I wear with a white tee and white FitFlops loafers. I too am 5’3” & size 18.

She never said it mattered, she’s just interested in what others think

I’ve always shied away from them. Today I ordered a pair. Will I like them? No idea 😂

Some people look great in wide legs but I don’t think I do. I am 5’3” and my legs are nice and slim so I think I look better in narrow trousers. I also love organic cotton crops in warm weather.

My friend looks lovely in wide legs and she is same height as me but our proportions are different.

I have got 4 pairs of these, 2 of them have been in the wardrobe unworn since at least last year. Have finally started wearing them after thinking maybe they weren't for 'mature' ladies in their mid 70's - how silly of me! Really comfy and now getting used to wearing them. I do prefer the look of the longer, floor scraping ones to the shorter ones as not sure what shoes to wear with short ones, nothing seems to look right.

How wide is wide?

I’m tempted to try the soft ones but I have an odd belly since having 4 kids and surgeries, it never went back to flat so I am a bit self conscious. I’m 5’2. However I say wear them with whatever you’re comfortable in for both top and shoes. I am of the opinion that we should be trendsetters rather than follower's. Blaze that trail OP 😊

I prefer a straight leg jean , but like a wider leg linen trouser, I’ve just bought a pair in navy, to be worn with a flowing shirt/cami or a t shirt.
I don’t like cropped trousers for myself, shorts or full length suit me better.
I’m 5’ 11, size 14/16, dependent on the brand.

If you like them wear them! I’ve concluded that all trouser styles are currently on trend! My daughter in laws wear skinny, wide and others…cropped and full length. I do the same and love that I can choose according to my mood. I’m quite short and not overweight and personally with wide trousers, I think it suits me to have a more fitted top and surprisingly despite having a bit of a tummy, it seems to work. Go for it and enjoy!

*Height....not weight ** wish l was losing weight fast!!!

I look silly in trousers. I am 5 ft 1 inch...dropping weight fast! But l have short legs but a long back. So l could sit next to someone 5 ft 10 and we would be eye to eye...but as soon as l stand up my legs are silly short. So annoying but nothing l can do!!

I'm not a fan of them in general, I have to admit, but at only 5'2 - short and fat - they would look absolutely ridiculous on me. But hey, if others like them, go ahead and wear them and don't give two hoots what anyone might think!

Tbh I don't like them, and haven't really thought they flattered anyone, petite or tall. But if you like them that's what matters. I always wear dresses, probably other people don't like those.

I’m 5,2 and a size 12 bottoms and 14 tops . 34 E cup boobs and I’ve got two pairs of wide leg jeans . Ecru and denim and I love them , so comfortable. I wear them with trainers , Birkenstocks or Birkenstock clogs . I balance them out with a shorter more fitted jumper , shirt or t shirt . And a shorter length jacket or cardigan . My DD who’s a fashion buyer says I look good and that they suit me . So I’ll take that 👍.
Mine are from Tu at Sainsbury’s in a short length. I did try loads from other stores but they went back .
I’ve also got wide leg linen trousers which I’ve had for years, they have a zip fly and look smart . The ones I’ve seen this year have either an elastic or drawstring waist and just look like a sack of potatoes on me.
So OP go for it.
