Choosing what to wear with wide leg jeans is easy. It's the skinny jeans that are hard to match with other clothing, not the wide leg jeans. Wide leg jeans aren't the difficult piece of clothing to match with anything. You should be more worried about your shirt and shoe choices. Wide leg jeans are one of the more worn style of jeans. Because of this, all you have to do is get out there and look for clothes to go with them. Simple. But, for those of you that need more help, check out these tips. Here's what to wear with wide leg jeans.

  1. Shirts. Again, clothing choices based on wide leg jeans is easy. You can wear whatever you want. Polos and dress shirts look very nice with higher end wide leg jeans. High end tees also look good with wide leg jeans. It's all up to your personal preference, and what type of look you're going for. Just play around with shirt options until you find a few that work well with your particular pair of wide leg jeans.
  2. Hats and accessories. Any and everything goes with jeans. The fact that your particular pair of jeans happens to be wide leg will not effect your choice in hats or jewelry in any way. Just to be on the safe side, make sure your hat choice doesn't take away from your overall outfit. It should complement the shirt and jeans combo. Oh, and jewelry is always best worn in moderation.
  3. The shoes. Now, finding shoes to wear with wide leg jeans isn't a problem, per se. Think of it as a department with limited options. Sneakers are easy to match up with wide leg jeans. There's no science to that one. No, the problem comes in with dress shoes. Wide leg jeans have the tendency to drag when you wear certain dress shoes with them. If you don't mind the drag, then you're golden. Just choose any pair of dress shoes you want. If you come from the old school and you want to preserve your pants for a while, the drag can be a major pain in the butt. Certain dress shoes with thicker soles and wider backs will actually balance the jeans on them causing little to no drag. Go with those.
  4. Your style. Wide leg jeans are probably the most worn jeans type out there. Because of this, there is an endless well of clothing options to choose from. The wide leg jeans can fit into any occasion. It's just a matter of you putting the outfit together.
