6. Wide leg
About:
At first glance, wide leg jeans may resemble flared cut. But when you look closer, you’ll notice that flared cut are tight around the hips, thighs, and knees before extending outward.

Best for:
Wide leg, like flared, aren’t off limits to anyone. Due to their shape, they tend to divert attention away from the hips — so if that’s something you’re looking for, this may be the cut for you. And for all our petite friends who fear getting swallowed up in all that fabric, go for a narrower letter A.
