The loose fitting trousers are a trend I can’t get enough of. They’re insanely comfortable, a nice break from denim, and perfect for all sorts of occasions. The problem is, many people don’t know how to wear them. They can be a bit intimidating, but if you think of them in two ways, they’re much easier to style: slouchy vs. structured. Find out how to wear loose trousers with these two looks below!
Slouchy
You can go casual with loose trousers by pairing them with a loose fitting t-shirt or sweater. Half-tuck your top into the front of the pants. This helps define the waist in an otherwise baggy, unstructured outfit, plus adds a touch of edge to your look. Keep the shoes casual, yet still polished. Go for booties or embellished sandals. I added a denim vest to my look to give it a little something extra, but you could add a necklace or a jacket instead. A cute pup isn’t a bad accessory either ;).
Structured
Now that you’ve mastered how to wear loose trousers casually, let’s try the more structured route. Rather than pairing your loose trousers with casual items, try adding more polished pieces to the look, like a sleek blouse and blazer. This is a perfect way to dress up your trousers for the office or a nice dinner. Add heels (I love this pop of blue!) to keep the look chic and structured.

LOVE this – such good advice. Im not a risk taker with clothes and I always stray away from anything other than a skinny jean – this gives me confidence to at least try them on!! :) sounds silly but so true!!
Sam Brown Says
I’m the same as Rachael – I tend to only wear skinny jeans because I know they’re a safe option that always looks good!
I have to say I definitely prefer the structured look though! I think the slouchy look suits you well but I feel like if I was trying to pull it off it wouldn’t be able to happen haha

I love these! Especially in such a versatile color. They would be great for the school year when I’m teaching, but am meeting friends after work for happy hour!
Stephanie Says
I love the structured look. I’m a big fan of this relaxed pants but so far I’ve only styled them the relaxed way. I need to venture into the structured territory and try them out for office wear. Thanks for the inspiration!
