Say hello to the new girl in town wearing some retro-inspired threads! Actress Zooey Deschanel was spotted on a family outing in Santa Monica looking comfortably stylish in a pair of dark wash, wide-leg denim trousers reminiscent of ’70s-era styles. That’s right, wide-leg jeans are officially back in the rotation.
While many have gotten comfortable in our skinny jeans over the past few years, this outfit is inspiring our editors to cross over to the dark side…the dark-wash denim trouser side, specifically.
This versatile style works well in almost any setting, from weekend errands to office outings, and can be worn with everything from flat sandals to platform pumps. We’re feeling the darker washes for fall and winter, but will be just as happy in lighter shades come spring and summer.
Wondering if wide-leg jeans are in your future? We’ve just added these 10 pairs to our shopping carts. Time to check ’em out!
