Transfer over, skinny denims! After attempting on 13 pairs of wide-leg denims, I’m utterly gained over.

Broad-leg denims are right here to remain in my closet, and nobody is extra shocked by this improvement than I’m. They’re just about all I’m sporting this winter.

I discovered the wide-leg types I attempted on rather more curve-friendly than I had supposed, and I’m joyful to report that my denim assortment is just a little bit extra on-trend now. I found three favorites throughout my roundup of wide-leg denims, and beneath I’m sharing how I’m styling these denims for winter.

Outfit 1: Silk Shirt + Black Broad-Leg Denims + Houndstooth Coat

I like the mix of black denim with the wide-leg fashion, and these Madewell denims are simply the ticket. The inseam size is ideal for me with out going to the difficulty of hemming (I’m 5’5” for reference). The reduce of the denims additionally skims over my curves to create a clear silhouette.

Most necessary, these denims are a part of Madewell’s Curvy line, which means that the hips and booty are reduce extra generously, however the waist is smaller.

To me, these black denims nearly appear like trousers, just a bit bit extra informal. Paired with a silk shirt that may go from day to nighttime, the general impact lands someplace between informal and dressed up, which is precisely the place I wish to be.

There are such a lot of attractive silk shirts out there now from manufacturers like Quince and Everlane, and this silk shirt from & Different Tales. I picked up this shirt after I was nonetheless placing on a blazer and heels for advertising occasions pre-pandemic, and now I’m nonetheless sporting the identical shirt, simply with denims and sneakers. & Different Tales has some lovely colours at present out there, however I additionally love my silk shirt from Everlane as a result of it’s washable.

The black-and-white houndstooth coat from Abercrombie is an ideal prime layer. Midweight and midcalf, this isn’t a coat for the depths of winter, nevertheless it’s a flexible addition to my outerwear wardrobe for these winter days that don’t veer into Arctic-temperature territory.

I grabbed this coat as a part of my Abercrombie try-on and determined it was a keeper. Though the black-and-white possibility is low in sizes, the coat is available in different patterns, like a traditional brown plaid and strong cream coloration, each of which might work with this outfit system simply as properly.

For sneakers, I saved it easy with the traditional Nike Air Power Ones as a result of I used to be on my means out the door for a day of bookstore and bakery-hopping in Boulder, and I knew I used to be going to be placing a lot of miles on my ft. Now that I’ve damaged in these sneaks just a little bit, they’re my most-worn shoe. Add a crimson lip, and I’m able to go.

Outfit 2: Cropped Puffer Vest + Lengthy-Sleeve Shirt + Dishevelled Denims

The Good American Good Skate denims are simply enjoyable. They’re nearly true skater denims — besides, thank goodness, they aren’t as a result of then they wouldn’t match me. What I imply is that Good American takes curves in to account, so though the legs of the denims are ultra-baggy, they aren’t unfastened within the booty or the waist.

Bonus: These denims are gentle, child. No inflexible denim right here. You may lounge in these denims like they’re sweatpants all day lengthy.

Now, onto the cropped puffer vest. I could or might not have seen this vest in a TikTok put up someplace between the hours of 1 and three a.m. throughout an evening of stressed sleep. Each different 12 months, I get the itch to purchase a puffer vest. Each time, I believe to myself: “That’s such a traditional piece. I ought to have one in my closet.” Then, I take it dwelling and put it on, and…wow…no. I simply can’t make puffer vests look stylish on me.

However then I noticed the cropped model, and I used to be impressed to strive as soon as once more. Primarily as a result of I noticed some ladies round my dimension sporting them, and I believe the cropped size is extra flattering than the total size as a result of the crop exhibits my waist and doesn’t cowl my booty. Additionally, I like the espresso coloration — I’m obsessive about a coffee-and-cream coloration palette this 12 months, however tons of different colours can be found.

Layer any light-weight, long-sleeved sweater or shirt beneath the vest. Right here, I’m sporting a long-sleeve efficiency shirt I picked up off Amazon. I like the sunshine stretch, the thick materials, and the close-to-body match. I’ll point out the shirt seems an terrible lot like a sure name-brand efficiency shirt you could find at over twice the value.

To maintain the hem of those super-baggy denims from dragging, I put on these with any shoe that offers me just a little further top. I’ve already up to date my look with the wide-leg fashion and cropped vest, so I’m bringing it again to my ‘90s roots with traditional Doc Martens boots.

Outfit 3: Cozy Impartial Cardigan + Cropped Broad-Leg Denims + White Sneakers

OK, am I breaking new trend floor right here? No, I’m not. But when I’m being sincere, I’ve been sporting this outfit fairly ceaselessly. This gentle cardigan (from Amazon once more!) is cozy, impartial, and pairs with all the totally different colours of camisoles I’ve hanging in my closet. I like cardigans as a result of I don’t actually like having material on my shoulders if in any respect attainable, however I additionally must cowl up the tattoo on my shoulder for client-facing Zoom conferences throughout my workweek.

Therefore, a cardigan that I throw on and off as I enter and exit conferences all day lengthy.

This explicit sweater has just a bit little bit of a lantern sleeve and is ever-so-slightly cropped. It’s additionally budget-friendly and is available in a bunch of various colours. For the value, the weave of the sweater is surprisingly tight, and I anticipate the sweater to scrub properly.

Madewell actually hits it out of the park with denims for me due to the number of types, size and — sure, as soon as once more — its curve line. These cropped wide-leg denims are shorter than the black Madewell denims above and have a uncooked hem, which I believe attracts consideration to no matter sneakers you wish to showcase. The excessive waist of the denims additionally provides size to my legs (one thing I’m all the time joyful about) if I give my camisole just a little French tuck.
