wide leg jeans

Loose-fitting pants style

Wide leg jeans are pants cut with a relaxed, roomy fit through the thigh and a leg opening that flares outward from the knee.

The style contrasts with skinny or straight-leg cuts, offering a looser silhouette reminiscent of 1970s fashion: She paired her wide leg jeans with platform sandals.

The term is often hyphenated when used as a modifier: wide-leg jeans.
