What fall tops to wear with wide leg jeans?

Anonymous
I've worn athletic tanks all summer with my wide leg jeans. What tops will look good with wide jeans as the weather gets cooler? Thanks for your ideas and any links you share!

Cropped sweaters. Channel your inner 90s! Also look at Mabel in Only Murders in the Building--she wears a ton of wide leg trousers (not necessarily jeans) and you can get ideas from her.

None of these tops are styled with wide leg jeans, and there is a reason for that.

Oh god none of these. If you wear any of these, people will think you are one of those anti fashion women who are still wearing their bootcut jeans from 1997 because you never stopped. These would all look make you look like dowdy unfashionable moms.

What looks best with wide legged jeans is a more form fitting top, or a cropped style, that really only works if you have a nice flat waist. You need to balance the width of the pant leg with something fitted. Does not need to be tight, but if it is flowy it needs to be tucked in so your waist is visible.

Also, a fitted turtleneck always looks good.

+1 to the fitted or torso-skimming tops in the previous 2 posts' photos.

Wide-leg jeans, fitted or slim top.

Skinny jeans, relaxed top.

Also turtlenecks for the 90s vibe.

Like some of the above pictures, I really like a fitted solid color top and a simple necklace.

Is it just me, or is this look even less forgiving than skinny jeans? If you don't have a small or defined waist, if you are short, if you are busty, if you have a tummy pooch... this is all terrible.

Yep, the pic of the woman above in the denim-ish pants in the office looks like she's on stilts her legs are so long. I'm short, and couldn't wear these styles the last time wide leg jeans were popular. I'm just going to stick with what looks good on me over what is in style.

Wide leg pants really only look good on skinny women with long legs, especially because they require slimmer tops to balance them out. I'm not short, but as someone who carries her weight in her hips, these styles look awful on me.

You know, I used to think this, but I’m short and pear-shaped and small on top, and I’ve come to really like wearing form-fitting tops with bigger/wide-legged pants. Yes, I look “bigger” on the bottom…but I am, and I think the small tops are flattering.
