Trend: Wide-Leg Pants

Oversized has become a widely popular trend in Korea, ranging from oversized shirts to chunky shoes and wide-leg pants. Wide-leg pants are typically paired with a t-shirt, tight shirt, or blouse at the top to emphasize the pants as the statement piece of the look. Here are a few different types of wide-leg pants to give you inspiration for your next look!

Roll Up Hem

Using a rolled hem on wide-leg jeans brings a simple flair to the look and is perfect for casual, on-the-go looks. It helps bring attention to your ankles and feet, making rolled hems a perfect addition when you want to show off your sneakers. You can even add a rolled hem to jeans you already own by rolling it yourself. The key to cuffing your pants is to only roll it up twice for a normal cuff or just once for a deep cuff roll (as seen above). If you roll it more, it can look bunched.

Cargo Pants

Cargo pants have become a crucial statement pant for streetwear and the lightweight cloth makes it perfect for the summertime. The stitching and the pockets on the side bring a unique look to the pants, and they are typically seen paired with oversized tops for a more streetwear look. The pants can also be worn with a tight top, such as a tube top, to add a more feminine touch.

Unique Designs

Embellishing a wide-leg pair of jeans can bring a unique look to your outfit. You could even customize your own pants to make a statement piece that is unique to you! Besides drawing or painting on the fabric, you can even add different colored or denim patches as well as rhinestones that would help your look stand out. 

These are just a few types of wide-leg jeans. What styles have you seen? What statement pieces do you like to add to your outfits?
