MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS. Check Disclosure

Wide leg pants are a flattering, versatile, and stylish fashion statement. Perhaps youโ€™re planning some wide-leg-pant work outfits, or maybe youโ€™re assembling some going-out outfits that feature wide leg pants. Even if youโ€™re just wearing wide-leg pants to run errands, you may be wondering, โ€œwhat shoes do I wear with wide leg pants?โ€

Wide leg pants feature a wide leg that starts at the hip and goes all the way down to the bottom hem of the pants. This wide, flowy leg drapes gracefully over shoes, which may make styling a bit confusing. Only some of your shoe will pop out from under your wide leg pants, so which shoes should you reach for?

No matter the occasion, Iโ€™ve got you covered. Continue on for tips on what shoes to wear with wide leg pants:

Best Shoes To Wear With Wide Leg Pants

Open toe sandals in the warmer weather

Are you wondering what shoes to wear with wide leg pants in the summer? Choose open toe sandals. Open toe sandals are simple enough to where they wonโ€™t take away from the boldness of wide leg pants. They also allow you to show off your pedicure. If you want to express your vibrant personality with your footwear, you can choose an open toe sandal that adds a pop of color to your outfit. If youโ€™re going to a summer business meeting or wearing wide-leg pants to a dinner on vacation, you may want to style your pants with heeled open toe sandals instead. On the other hand, if youโ€™re just running errands or taking your kids to the pool, some flat open toe sandals may be more suitable.

If that isnโ€™t your fashion style, go for a more subdued look with these elegant, metallic open-toe shoes. With a lower heel that is both sensible and stylish, this option proposes striking a balance between comfort and elegance. They are appropriate for both daytime and nighttime occasions because of the metallic finishes reflecting characteristic, which adds brightness and picks up the tones of the dress and any matching accessories.

Think of pairing these looks with a fitted jacket in a neutral hue like black, gray, or navy to give them a more polished look. This updates the outfit for a corporate environment while also adding a touch of refinement. A structured leather purse or a bold watch will keep the elegant charm while adding to the professional appearance.

Pair with pumps

Going out on the town with a date? Or maybe youโ€™re getting dinner with your girlfriends? If youโ€™re wearing your wide leg pants during a night out, try pairing them with some pumps.

Plus, they add that formal and fun touch that is ideal for a going-out outfit.
