Wideleg pants are a welcome change from last season's skinny pant. When worn correctly, this silhouette can be extremely flattering (and comfortable).

When selecting your pant, look for a slim fit through the waist, hips and rear. A slim-fitting, not boxy or oversized, top generally looks best.

Petite women should always wear heels with a wideleg pant, while women with longer legs have the option of wearing heels or flats. Regardless of what footwear you choose, your pant should be worn on the long side, falling about a 1/2 inch to an inch above the floor.

We paired these chic gray pants with a belted fitted top and stylish patent accessories.
