In case you haven't noticed, wide leg pants are having a major moment. From denim to trousers and yes, even cargos—they're pretty much everywhere. And with summer just around the corner, it's time to ditch our fitted and tight pants and swap them out for a silhouette that'll keep us cool all season long.
Wide leg pants not only make an outfit look super elevated, but they're good for any occasion, whether you want to dress them up or down. Throw on a lightweight, billowy pair with a bikini top for a beach day with friends, or go for a more structured style with a button-down shirt for a day at the office. If you're in need of some more inspo on how to wear the trend, I'm here to help you out. Keep scrolling for 12 of the cutest wide leg pant outfits, and how to start shopping them now.

For an effortless look, throw on a cargo style in the material with an open button-down. Your cute outfit will *almost* make you forget how hot it is outside. Hey, I said almost!
