Wide-leg trousers will always be a favoured silhouette among the fashion crowd – and footwear-wise, trainers remain a well-loved staple. As for the impact of wearing wide-leg trousers and trainers together? The combination is a hot-ticket to easy style all year round.
While materials like wool are fitting for winter, during the summer months, it’s best to rely on fabrications like linen and cotton to avoid overheating. Pay close attention to the length of the hemline: trainers look best peeping beneath louche, puddled hems rather than a swinging crop. But make sure the hems aren’t too close to the ground – you don’t want them to drag.
The street-style set have taken to wearing their wide-leg trousers – and baggy jeans, at that – with trending trainers like Adidas’s Tokyo, Japan and Taekwondo styles, Asics’s Gel-Kayano 14, Nike 90s and even high-tops, like Loewe’s tall take on its Ballet Runner.
