I bought a pr of wide leg jeans so i watched this a second time!!!
Wonderful! I hope you enjoy them. I’m still waffling on how much I want to have cut off of mine. I’ve ordered some new shoes and boots to try with them before I make a decision. 😉
Loved these looks, reminds me of my teen years in the 70’s. I think we called them “elephant” pants. They’re actually quite comfy and can look stylish with the right top. Have been wearing them for the past year. Great video!
Great to hear! 🙌🏻 I’m so glad you’re enjoying them. I can’t wait for it to cool off a little here so I can really wear them. 😊
Totally seventies 😊 i like the look.
Yes Elephant pants I forgot about that😀
@@ameliaclark5792 Ahh don’t you just love nostalgia? The good old days😄
Or were they called elephant ear pants?
I just have to comment to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. You are so genuine and kind and I find myself smiling while watching your videos. The content is valuable to me but so is your kind, sincere demeanor. You also look amazing in this trend! Your suggestions are spot on.
Thanks Kay. I am sewing more of my clothing and I appreciate your videos for guidance on what I might want to sew next. I concentrate on pieces that I will wear for years to come and what works with what I already own. Last year I made a pair of wide legged black linen slacks for summer and this video will help me style them with more confidence. And I will cue up some more in fabrics suitable for the cooler weather.
I have lymphedema in my left leg following cancer surgery so skinny jeans have been a challenge for me. I LOVE the wide leg trend. So much more comfortable for me. Thank you for providing some great tips for wearing these jeans. I love watching your videos-you are so kind and gracious!
Thanks so much. I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel. 😊
Great. tips, Kay! This past weekend I jumped into this trend and purchased flared-ankle pants at J. Crew. After so many years of wearing straight/narrow pants, it takes a while to get used to the new look. Today's video tips are good reminders as I begin to assemble outfits. Thanks so much for keeping this community "modern." One more thing - when I was hesitant about purchasing the flared pants, I remembered you saying that "fashion is fun" and that helped me greatly! Have a blessed day!
Yes! 🙌🏻 And these are definitely fun. I’m so excited for you to try those new pants. 👍🏻
Oh my gosh I remember wearing thses jeans when I was 14 lol. I styled them with the same way, with platform shoes, a botton down with a blazer with black velvet patches on the elbows and or a leather jacket hip length with a tie belt. Aaah yes, fashion does come back around. I love this look. Makes my waist look smaller and my legs miles longer. As always you look great and thank you for your hard work 😁. Blessings ❤
Great video! I enjoy the lookbook and your choices. You provide fantastic tips. Wide leg looks beautiful on you and I think more people would benefit from a wide leg if they were willing to try them. I'm 5'4, and I find them very flattering on me. I wear them on days when I feel bloated or have leg or knee pain because they're non-restricting. They're almost like wearing a skirt and they're perfect for when you want to look dressed up or elegant. I buy the cropped version with elastic waist, and they hit me right below the ankle that way I don't have to hem or tailor them. I wear them with ballet flats in the spring and fall and flat boots in the winter. I have a linen pair for the summer and both denim and rayon for the winter. I always get compliments when I wear them. They're a great way to disguise a thick thigh or a large rear end.
My favorite look on you was the one with the brown leather jacket... so awesome!
I think my favourite look on you was the cropped dark brown sweater with the denim jeans and also loved your leather jacket. As to wide leg pants with pleats, actually one can always stitch 'a portion' of them down beginning at the waistband to suit one's needs. i.e.: To eliminate the extra visual bulk, the amount (how far down) will be dictated by your body type. With appreciation of your tips.
Wide leg is my favorite pant style now and I will continue to wear them trending or not! I also like the pleated pants on my thin frame. I find them so stylish and comfy! Keep them long, preferably at least hitting the floor or longer to wear with heels. I love them!
Thank you for suggestions! I love the wide leg pant and so happy they are back😀. You are always so inspiring and positive. Bless you
I am just in heaven that wide leg high waist pants are back. I never could wear low waist or even mid rise pants because I have a sway back. I bought a pair of jeans from Talbots last year and I’m so glad you did this video for me to make my best choices when I wear them. Thanks Kay!
Thank you Kay, I’m 70 and wear a size 12, in Australian sizes, I’m a bit nervous about wide leg pants for me age but I want to stay in fashion , I’m used of wearing skinny leg jeans
Yeah, skinny jeans are definitely on their way out right now. But straight leg jeans are universally flattering. You can absolutely look fashionable in them. 😊
Good morning Kay! Love the wide leg denim on you! The fit is great in the upper leg and very slenderizing to your body proportions. I’m tall, 5’ 9” and have a pair ready to wear when the temps cool down! Thank you for all the different tops and jacket options! 💕
Great tips as we transition into the wide legs. I really love them and plan to wear them. I’m just 5’4”. I have found that most of trousers I have tried on are very, very long. Keeping the tops close fitting does seem to really help. You look great!
Hi Kay! I am a follower of your online videos and love them❣️ I appreciate your new ones that help us older ladies in achieving that Coastal Grandmother Style. I am also only 5’1” in height and appreciate hints on how to wear the wider leg pants, etc. Thank you so much❣️
Love, love, love the wide leg trend! Thank you so much for the awesome tips!
Thanks so much, Kay, for these helpful tips! I am very short and small; so I’m not going to be trying this right now, but I can see how your tips can definitely bless others who will!!❤️
Thanks for all your wonderful tips how to style these pants. Takes a lot of time and effort on your part which I’m sure we all appreciate.
So nice to see pant & jean styles that look & feel comfortable & can be flattering to more sizes .
Kay, I love your videos! I sew most of my clothes but do not always know how to style the pieces I want to sew. I soooo appreciate your eye for style. I have some wide leg denim pants to style as well as some trousers that I have had difficulty styling. Thank you for this effort.
I so love your videos. This is just what I need for help with how to wear wide leg trousers. I’ve nearly finished making a pair but as I’m only 5ft 3” I didn’t know how to wear them. Now I no slimmer fit tops will look best. Thank you ❤
Thanks so much for all the great tips. Love the wide leg pant and jeans and your advice will make it much easier to style.
These were wonderful tips for balancing body proportions with wide cut pants. I have a pair I bought last year which I haven’t worn yet and I do need to have them hemmed before I attempt an outfit. Thank you Kay!
I am so tired of the “skinny” jean especially on no -skinny people. Love classic looks like this. You are the best!
Love this particular session! Thank you Kay!
Thanks, Kay. I'm 5'2". I have one pair of dressy wide leg black pants from way back. I was going to donate them to a thrift shop; however, I have the right pair of black boots to wear with them and learned from you how to style them for my hour glass shape and proportions. Maybe this Christmas I'll be able to wear them to a holiday party, now that we can gather again. I have boot cut jeans and will stick to those for all the reasons you mentioned for us 'petite gals'. Thanks for continuing to lead the way in helping us navigate these fashion changes. I did like the last blazer you modelled, perhaps with the shortened pant hem and the high rise leather sneakers. You would rock that look, for sure!
I love how the wide leg pants look on you with all of your suggestions! Lovely video!
Excellent tips, especially as the colder months approach. I'm done with heels, so I bought a pair of wide-leg jeans in Petite (I'm 5'5") so I don't have to get them hemmed. I'll definitely pair them with fitted tops, as you've suggested. Thanks!
Love the looks!!
Thanks, Kay! I like the fitted jacket, leather…and the shorter tops with these long big leg pants! Thanks for the outfit ideas!
I loved this video! My daughter suggested wideleg linen trousers to me on a summer shopping trip- I’m a convert! I feel much more stylish and loved all your tips coming into the cooler weather. It’s just dawned on me, at just turned 60, I’m probably too old for skinny jeans ! Just hadn’t occurred to me.😂The only down side is having to choose in advance the shoe height !
I am a tall / long lady, 6 feet, a bit pear shaped. I have loved straight, bootleg and wide jeans and trousers all my life. The tips you give are so to the point! I know this is not for everybody. But skinnies don't look good on me, wide leg fit me better.
I do appriciate that you give advice on all styles, so we can all chose what suits us.
Great job. You really have influenced my wardrobe to be more on trend and it’s nice to feel current. Thank you.
Bought a pair of black wide trousers last winter. I wore them Christmas day with dark green roll neck and silver chain belt with a heeled shoe boot. Got lots of compliments. I have also worn them with white trainers white t shirt and brown leather jacket. I did also wear them with an oversized small print shirt and trainers. I am in my 60s and they look modern. They were a bit fiddly to sort out as you say ..I had to shorten them and I do front tuck. I have also worn them with a long sleeve black and cream fine stripped t shirt..a long bright red cardi and a cream knee length trench coat.
They are in a fine wool, very smart and flat front. I feel good in them and your tips are spot on. Not sure if I will wear jeans in same style but will try some on and see. I thought you looked good in these styles. Thanks for all your tips.
Thank you Kay for great advice
I recently picked up two pairs of wide leg high waisted jeans at a thrift store, total spent $7 love them. My first time watching you.
Also will be checking out the cleaning products. Great idea.
Very nice! Liked all the options.
Definitely like the plaid blazer too! Thanks Kay 😀
I am petite and was fortunate to find a pair of wide leg jeans and trousers in petite. I have struggled a bit with proportion, though, so thank you so much for your very helpful video. BTW, I love your look with the blazer which reminds me of a chic coastal grandma! Thanks so much for your always well prepared and on point videos!
Thanks! Loved your video
Haven’t seen you in a few weeks. Love your relevant content and suggestions for adapting to our current Closets. Makes so much sense to those of us that use less trends but still want to remain current. An aside…how r u looking younger every week. You look fresh and youthful and so slim. You are inspiring me to take note of what I’m putting in the slowing body. Thanks Kate, you are so appreciated!
Thank you for the great tips and for showing examples for all of them!
You look good in all the outfits. Very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the tips. It is sometimes challenging to step out of or comfort zone and try new/current fashion. I am looking forward to utilizing your tips this autumn when I try out the wide leg jeans. Thank you again for the care and effort you put into sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for this video. I found a great deal on Jessica Simpson wide-leg high-waisted jeans a year ago, and I got them to try thinking the loss wouldn’t be too much if I didn’t like them. The waist was too big so I altered them and they’ve been hanging in my closet since because I just couldn’t make them work, and I got the waist a tiny bit too snug. I finally dragged them out again today and the waist fits because I’ve lost a little in the middle. I styled them for winter with some pointy-toed suede boots, a tucked-in fitted top, and a pretty belt. I’ll wear them soon. Thanks again!
I love all your input on wide leg pants. I’m the kind of person that jumps right in on trends like this. Not sure that’s always a good thing! 😆
Anyway, I will say that I don’t completely agree on pleated pants with a tummy. I find that if the fit is right, the pleats skim over my pooch and actually disguise it. Plus the pleats add a vertical line to make my 5’4” frame look taller. I loved pleats back in the day and still do! Btw…so glad skinnies are no longer a thing. They’re so uncomfortable for me!
Thanks for all the advice you give and all your work to help us all look great! Have a blessed day 😁
Great tips Kay, thank you especially for me being near to petite shape
I like wide leg jeans with a fluffy cropped sweater for women with narrow shoulders. It helps balance the proportions. They are also great with below the knee cardigans that flow or shirt dresses as a third layer.❤
Love the look with the sneakers. You’re absolutely “cool”enough.😊🙏🏻
What a wonderful video on Wide leg pants ! I love all the looks you have created ! So helpful , thank you :)
Great advice and looks!
I love the way you did your presentation. You showed the tips on how to wear a wide leg pants for mature women. Thank you.
You’re so welcome. Thanks for watching. 😊
Despite the predominance of oversized shirts on offer these days, I agree, there’s definitely a place for more fitted shirts in our wardrobes. I like the one you’re wearing.
Great tips and i really like the wide leg look on you. I also like the colouring with the jacket but recon if it was a crop jacket it would look amazing. As always great tips !
I love the wide leg trousers & jeans. You look great in them!
Thanks for the great ideas! I wasn’t convinced initially that this trend was for me but I’ll give it a try. I liked the look with the plaid blazer and sneakers. I might try it with a more fitted graphic tee in a complimentary color.
Really enjoyed this video, lots of great tips. Thanks
Good Morning Kay
Great info today! I really like the plaid blazer with the wide leg pants and I think the long black coat really worked well with the wide pants. I loved the tip you mentioned about not wearing a bulky top with the wide legs..
I think you look great in your “cool girl” look! I especially love the soft colors. My only suggestion would be to push up you blazer sleeves to give it an even more edgy vibe. Love it!
Hi Kay, once again I loved everything you commented on. I agree the closer silhouette top with these wider pants does look better. I love the high waisted pants and jeans. Have a great day and I will see you in the next one. :)
So helpful! I am new to your channel and need all these tips!!!
I love them with tennis shoes. Very cute.
Love this trend!! Suffered though skinny jean craze. Just couldn’t ever find many that worked well for my shape or height (5’9”)
I saved this video and I will refer back to it as I go through my closet. Thanks again, Kay.
You always look so sophisticated! Great job :)
Great tips! Thanks! I'm short, so I'll mostly stay away from these, but I think the right pants and tops could still work for me.
Good info, nicely done, thank you. ❤
All the looks are really flattering on you.
The sneaks and oversized blazer were great, I say yes!
I love this look and I actually bought some recently ( at the N Anniversary sale. Your tips were very helpful. Thanks
I love all these outfits! 🤗You look great in the cool girl outfit with the blazer!
The plaid blazer and tennis shoes looked great...for certain events! I am not a “cool girl” either, but I thought that outfit was very pleasing on you. If you reach for it often, feel appropriate for the occasion, and wear it with joy and confidence, I say, “Go for it!” I will be switching out some of my dress jeans for a wider look. I still wear boot cut for work on the ranch and during the winter. Thanks, Kay, for all you do to encourage us!
I'm super excited for this trend to come back. I'm wanting to wear these to work and on the weekends this fall. Yay! Also you definitely pulled off the outfit with the grey blazer and tan trousers. I loved that outfit 🤩
Thanks so much for sharing, Karrie. 💕
Let me just say, that top you’re wearing is fabulous. It’s so complimentary to your hair and skin tone. I don’t wear pants at all but I appreciate how stylish they look. I love the jeans with the brown cropped sweater top.
Melissa 🌼
Thanks so much, Melissa. 💕
Your tips are helping me..thanks for what you do 🌺
You’re so welcome! 🥰
Great fashion video today! Love the jeans on you and your clogs. Super flattering on you!
My favorite for you is that brown faux leather jacket, tied in back or front. Really beautiful. Brown wouldn’t work as well for me, but black sure would and I think I’ll give that a go!
Thanks for sharing these great tips Kay! At 5’2” I’ll stay away from wide leg jeans but I do have a pair or dress slacks that are wide leg from Talbots. You’ve given me some great ideas on what to pair them with.
Yes, I agree. I have an older pair of navy wide leg dress pants. I'll be keeping them to wear with the tips Kay shared. It's such a relief to learn how to wear these styles with items already in our wardrobes. I'm also 5'2" and wasn't it great to hear Kay talk about how we can participate in these 'current' fashion trends! Seems like everything old is new again!
I loved this video. Must of my jeans are wide legs. I think they look more classic chic and I could elevate the looks using differents blouses and accesories. You look very nice using them.
Hi Kay, I absolutely LOVE the wide leg jeans on you! The leather jacket tied in the back looked awesome. I want some so bad but need to find the right mid rise first (that's a tough one but I will keep looking😊). Thank you for this awesome video.
Great video, as always. But especially delighted to see your Blue Ridge china in the cabinet in your kitchen! I'm a major Blue Ridge collector and enjoy seeing others appreciate the craftsmanship in them too. So pretty!
Hahaha! I have loads of it! ❤️
Great styling tips! I am excited to try this trend as fall approaches. I reminds me of Kathrine Hepburn and lots of other beautiful style icons. So classy!
Chanel like jacket will work wanders , love the looks
Love your ideas🥰
I love the wide-leg jeans, I think they’re very flattering, even for petites like me, if worn almost floor length (I don’t like them actually dragging on the floor). Thanks for the tips.
Hi Kay, Yes I bought a pair or two of flared jeans at the urging of my daughters. I Ike the look especially with ankle booties in the fall as long as they are not TOO wide. But I doubt if many of us will be wearing them with 3 in heels! In expect to wear them mostly with fitted sweaters or turtlenecks when its much cooler. Also, works well with a button down shirt and blazer as you modeled. I have narrow shoulders and a jacket helps I’ve me a better balance with the wider leg silhouette. I’m not as tall as you at 5’ 5”.
Good morning! Thank you for all the time and effort you took in making this video.. I just ordered some wide leg PLAID trousers yesterday, and can't wait till they get here! I am 5'3", and a size 2, but absolutely love this silhouette (with the correct length). Even my hubby loves my flare and wide leg jeans, and says they are "throwback classy"! FYI, My new plaid trousers are muted fall colors, nothing too crazy....haha
Oh I bet they are amazing! How wonderful. I do hope you enjoy them! 💕
Love wide legs, I only just saw that they are coming back in fashion this season, which is summer in Capetown, already bought 5 pairs in UK to take home next week. Thanks for a great video 👍
I love them, I just came back from Europe and on our way to the airport our driver took us through the city of London and there were so many women wearing these on their way to work. I decided them I’m buying some. I do have a pair of wide linen pants and I love them.
Thanks Kay, you just saved my wide leg jeans (only worn once) from the donate pile. I saw a picture of me in those pants and it seemed to make me look big. They will get a second chance now. I'll try these tips
I haven't bought any of these styles. I'm 5'3" and skinny jeans and close fitting pants just look better on me. Plus like you said you can cuff them for any shoes you want to wear.
I just don't think I want all that fabric.
I guess we'll see how long this style hangs around.😁
Most of this does look like what we wore in the 70's!
Thanks for the tips! I think I'll pass on this trend as I am on the shorter side. I may try on a pair and will keep your tips in mind to see if they'll make it into my closet. If not, my boot cut jeans will be my go-to.
Great hints…very helpful
I enjoyed this video. I won’t be wearing trousers but I will be wearing flared jeans with heels and I’m glad that look will be in. I love your leather jacket, it’s so cool with the jeans. And I liked the plaid blazer too - I liked it with the sneakers. I think it had the cool vibe 😎
Love love love your very wonderful helpful ideas
Cant wait to get my hands on those jeans and some of those tailored styled tops ;)
Leather jacket and jeans is the best combination
Once again, a fabulous video, Kay! You do such a great job putting the videos together, and of course, your photographer/videographer does a great job. Jo-Lynne Shane suggested that I try petite wide legged jeans for my 5’6” body, since they should be shorter, because I can’t wear a heal any higher than 1”.
If the pleats on the trousers fold inward they will actually be flattering. So look for.inward folding pleat. :)
