The Best Wide-Leg Pants for the Office and Beyond

Made from a stretch-wool blend, these high-rise pants will pair with everything from knit sweaters and blazers for work to lace camisoles and silky blouses for nights out.

This rib knit pair is a customer favorite for the way it feels like cozy sweatpants (thanks to the stretchy cotton), but looks like structured trousers. At this price, you could buy a pair in every color.

Not only do these leather pants have a not-too-slim, not-too-wide, just-right flare, but they also feature a perfectly faded finish. We would pair these with a pointed-toe shoe.

The puddle hemline elevates these work-appropriate pants from basic to statement. The asymmetrical pleats add even more volume and visual interest.

A winterized take on the lace-trimmed silky shorts that were everywhere last summer, these pants are made for date night (or a festive night in). Contrast the sleek trouser finish with a top in a grainier texture, like a chunky knit sweater or a plaid blazer.

No winter wardrobe is complete without a pair of corduroy pants. These come in a range of colors and in classic, petite, and tall lengths.

The contrasting waistband on these wool-blend trousers makes them just as fitting for a 9-to-5 as a weekend outing. Style them with a sharp pointed-toe flat or slim stiletto shoe to balance out the relaxed fit.

Combine the utility of cargo pants (hello, pockets) with the versatility of a wide-leg silhouette. Don’t wait long to purchase these: They're currently marked down big-time.

With a pooling hemline, an effortlessly tailored silhouette, and a go-with-everything color, these pleated pants are a wardrobe essential.

The wool-blend flannel makes these pants a must-have for cold weather. The plaid pattern will stand out in a sea of winter black and grays.

For casual days, these twill drawstring pants will dress up even a simple white T-shirt. Contrast the wide leg with a form-fitting bodysuit, baby tee, or cropped cardigan.

A cold-weather staple with a leg that’s wide without being overpowering, made from a comfortably stretchy corduroy fabric. In addition to being available in white, brown, and burgundy colorways, the pants also come in petite and plus sizes.

Another size-inclusive pick, these high-rise tailored pants are from Abercrombie & Fitch’s Curve Love line, designed to minimize waist gapping with extra room through the hip and thigh. They also come in short and long lengths, so you can get the true full-length drape no matter your height.

These elastic-waistband pants deliver the look of leather without the stiffness and tight fit. Wear them with a tailored button-down or a going-out top for instant cool factor.

Forget leopard, zebra print is going to be huge this year. This mid-rise pair—a Simon Miller best-seller—is an outfit-maker, regardless of what you style them with.
