Honestly, I'm a little sad about it because they look terrible on my short legs, long torso, and pear shape. Trust me, I've tried to find a flattering version.

Hopefully, my old standby, slim, straight jeans won't fall too out of favor.

I think that's a fun outfit. I have pants of various lengths, and my mindset is that each goes with a certain pair of shoes. I need to do more cuffing--it's a style, and an easy one. Clearly here, hers is a statement of the pants themselves, but I need to step outside my comfort zone.

eta, re: wide leg--I'd consider hers to be a straight leg. I can wear those. I have a few linen wide leg summer pants that are fine on me because they're flowy. I'm not sure about wide jeans, though.

I think what makes those flattering is they are very light weight material as will as a light wash.

Something to consider.

I love that outfit and used to have similar jeans (including button up), just darker. I forgot to pick them up from the dry cleaners one time and miss them to this day!

I’m looking for a new pair.

I would agree that those are more straight leg. I have a pair and I like wearing them but they aren't very prevalent where I live. Like mine, hers seem to be riding a little higher than the low cut jeans in the past. I hated low cut jeans, They are so uncomfortable on me.

I don’t love wide leg pants or huge cuffs; the ones shown in the picture look like she hasn’t had time to take them to a tailor. I do like bell bottoms, and have one pair of EF corduroys with bell bottoms that def require a special shoe to look right. I’m a big believer in wearing what looks good on you as opposed to the current trend.

Wider leg jeans look great if you have the shape for it. They are not flattering for anyone with wide hips. Ask me how i know.

Wide leg jeans + short or fitted top = 👍

Wide leg jeans + long top = 👎

I’m not getting the mis-buttoned cardigan. My 3 y/o granddaughter came home from pre-school one day with her sweater looking exactly like that.

Honestly I don't think the outfit or the clothes are great; she is. Everyone else's MMV.

Wide legs can look good when the waist is relatively high too. Glad that hiphuggers are mostly out now.

It's a cute casual look. I'm not a huge fan of the wide legged jeans/slacks, I much prefer the slim legs or a boot cut at most.

My knee is still a little swollen, so my regular straight/skinny jeans are a bit uncomfortable.. especially later in the day. I tried on a bunch of wider leg jeans recently. Didn't like the way any of them looked. I think younger women can get away with that look. On me... I feel like I look like a homeless person.

I don’t mind wide legged jeans in general, but those particular ones don’t appeal to me at all. The excess details remind me of Jordache Jeans decades ago (perhaps these are vintage!) and I don’t think the cuffs work in this case; too floppy. And I don’t care for the light wash. And the misbuttoned sweater looks ridiculous. Now, on a cute 16 year old, it all might work. The BF is cute. That’s my old lady rant .

The older I get, the more I admire the women who wear what they like, and don't ascribe to any one look based on what others think appropriate. I think this is a great outfit and she wears it well. She looks somewhat effortlessly fashionable to me.

I don't care for wide legged pants on myself though. I'm still a skinny jeans wearer, usually have them tucked into boots. Yes, even in warmer seasons I will wear my western boots.

The sweater isn't misbuttoned. It's deformed by the crossbody bag. It could happen to anyone.

The only thing that is odd to me are the sandles.

Low rise pants are great for me, since my hips are fairly slim compared with my waist. Higher waisted pants are either too tight in the waist or baggy in the hips.

Fori, you are right about the sweater; I’m sure that has happened to me, too. Luckily no “candid” photo of me will ever be taken, seen, or commented upon!

I dont have a real waist so high ruse are a no. I prefer mid-rise.

She's adorable....and her pants are rolled up about 6". lol I'd like to have my old skinny figure back....and I used to be her size.

I think the sandals and the turned up hem are a big miss too.

I love the wide leg and have several very wide leg and everything in between. I am tall and thin and for once me and fashion are lining up.

i was so thrilled when high rise wide leg became a thing again and I jumped at the chance to start wearing them. This was actually like almost 10 years ago now. Unlike you eld, they fit my body type and just make me feel good. I could try on a 1000 pairs of slim low or mid rise and not find anything to suit.

Unfortunately, for me, but fortunately for you, I'm seeing more and more slim low rise styles coming back. I'm thinking I should go hoarder and start stocking up on my fave wide legs.

Gosh, i just realized this is the person who was fired from a tv show for having an affair. I’d never seen or heard of her before that. She looks so much better in the picture posted here than the overly made up mannequin photo i just saw of her from her television show. Unemployment becomes her 😎

I had never heard of her either, but I think she looks just fine in the photo, even with the large fold-up on her pants. Like, I just bought these and I want to wear them now, even though they need to be shortened properly.

Back in the early 70s, when wide-flare pants were the thing, it helped that mile-high platform shoes were as well. I'm 5'4" (at least used to be) with short legs. I'd wear 4" platforms under my wide-leg pants and look legitimately tall, all in the leg.

My favorite pant leg is narrow straight, not skinny, just narrow. Mid-rise.

So, are wide in now, or did I miss it again and they are narrowing?

I don't know who she is either. :)

So is it okay for me to fold my pants like that? Or do I have to be tall and angular to get away with it?

,,,fired from a tv show for having an affair.

Whoa. So that's still a fireable 'offense'? Off to Google this story now ...

Makes sense, Ida. She's a girl.

@Bunny I do believe wide is in right now. Specifically, higher waists and wider or relaxed legs. The proportions are changing completely with this new look, which is why we're seeing shorter shirts too.

I ran into this blog post which was interesting to me to see how proportions have changed from 2000s, 2010s, and now 2020s and why people are tucking in shirts so much. I am not (yet?) comfortable tucking in shirts, but I wanted to read up because I am feeling a bit out of style. Thought others might find this interesting too because she talks about the transition to wider leg pants and the impact on the overall styling.

Prickly, thanks for the clarification and link. So many rules! I hate tucking mostly because it means going to the bathroom involves all that stuffing, reaching, blousing, patting, adjusting just so. Dozens of times a day. I need the clothes shape that allows me to remain untucked.

Fori, you have to be tall and angular. 😉

Rant: I hate the half-tucked shirt! It looks like you were using the bathroom and the doorbell rang and you didn’t get yourself put back together.

@bbstx I completely agree the half tuck / "french tuck" look just looks silly in the real world. It can look nice if styled and posed for a picture, but I'd look like a moron walking around like that.

@Bunny I am struggling with the rules. And really struggling to consider tucking. I've tried it at home and I just don't like how it looks or feels on me. Maybe I'm the wrong shape. (Not certain what is the "right" shape, but I'm not it.)

Weren't they BOTH fired? I never watched it or had no idea who she was until recently.

Yes, both..

She was also wearing this in the awful photo of her jumping into his arms, with her legs wrapped around his waist....I find it awful because they are BOTH still married, and have children and spouses watching these photo shoots.
