wide-leg pants

Loose-fitting leg garments

Wide-leg pants are trousers cut with extra fabric through the thigh and below, creating a silhouette that flows loosely from hip to hem.

The style contrasts with slim-fit or tapered cuts: She traded her skinny jeans for wide-leg pants.

The term often appears hyphenated as a modifier: wide-leg trousers, wide-leg jeans.
