The Best Tops to Wear With Wide-Leg Trousers, Hands Down

They might have started as a trend, but wide-leg trousers have officially earned ‘wardrobe staple’ status, rivalling jeans in the versatility they offer. Wear them to the office, at the weekend, dressed up for an event—the list goes on. Their ability to seamlessly transition between different settings and seasons makes us wonder why they weren’t always considered essential.

Styling wide-leg trousers is mostly intuitive; they go with most tops, so it’s really a case of choosing an option that suits your personal style and the time of year you’re dressing for. While it’s hard to go wrong with this trouser type, as it’s risen in popularity over the past few seasons, we’ve taken note of some particularly successful pairings. The tops we have in mind balance out the wide silhouette nicely, look good on everyone and, crucially, are easy to carry with you from summer through winter.
