Ready to throw it back to the 1970s this fall? When it comes to denim trends this upcoming season, one of the most popular silhouettes we spotted all over the F/W 20 runways were high-waisted wide-leg jeans (yep, the Farrah Fawcett kind), and they’re back for 2021. 

Whether you style yours with a simple white tee, lean into the ’70s trend and pair them with earth-tone hues, or keep it classic with a cashmere sweater and check blazer, wide-leg jeans are the refreshing silhouette your closet has been craving. Read on for nine effortless ways to style the trouser-like silhouette, and shop our favorite pairs out there.

While the temps are still pleasant, pair your wide-leg jeans with a cropped top and accentuate the high waist with a belt.

There’s nothing more classic and effortless than wide-leg jeans and a relaxed white button-down.

Change up your denim wash and opt for a chic ivory hue (a big color trend this fall), and pair the rest of your outfit with similar shades for one seriously sophisticated look.

Nothing beats a leather jacket and wide-leg jeans. 

Simple, easy, and effortless, a black tank top tucked into your wide-leg jeans is a combo that always works.

Lean into the ’70s trend, and pair wide-leg flares with a cropped faux-fur jacket. It’s a retro-cool ensemble perfect for fall.

Tuck a lightly colored sleeveless turtleneck into your jeans, and finish the look with classic leather boots. It’s such an easy and chic fall look.

Double denim? We’re certainly not opposed when it looks this good. Button up your denim jacket, and tuck it into your jeans so it acts like a top. Very cool.

It doesn’t get cooler than wide-leg jeans and a pair of retro Nike sneakers (à la Farrah Fawcett).
