The Outfit
Every piece in this casual fall outfit, head to toe.
The ribbed hem keeps a bomber from going shapeless over baggy denim. Sits at the hip, exactly where you want it to stop.
Brown bomber
Every neutral outfit needs one thing being obnoxious.
Yellow Sneakers
Fitted, not boxy. In a wide leg jeans outfit this is the only thing telling anyone you have a waist.
Fitted White Tee
The only thing connecting the brown jacket to the yellow shoe. Black would split it into three arguments.
Olive Suede Bucket Tory Burch Bag
Everyone skips the cuff and then wonders where their shoes went. Size up if you want that baggy hem to pool.
Wide-leg cuffed jeans
Shoes That Survive a Wide Hem
What shoes to wear with wide leg jeans. Wide hems eat most footwear — these are the shapes that work.
For when yellow feels like a lot before 10am.
Loafer
Hem over the shaft, never tucked.
Tall Rain Boot
Delicate enough not to fight the volume.
Ballet Flat
A hybrid between a flat and sneaker, brings uniqueness to a casual outfit.
Samba Jane
A more subtle option than yellow.
Sneaker, Subtle Option
Same shape, quieter.
Sneaker, second colorway
Other Wide-Leg Denim I'd Actually Wear
More cuffed wide leg jeans, different washes and price points.
Same cuff, reads dressier. The version I'd wear to dinner.
Black wide-leg
For when it's still warm enough to skip the jacket.
Lighter wash
Wide-leg only works if the hem hits right. Don't fight a too-long pair.
Curvy High-Waisted OG Loose Jeans
If you're buying one, buy the one that holds its shape after a wash.
