Long before skinny jeans [1] ever had a place in our closets, wide-leg silhouettes ruled our wardrobes. In fact, we spent the better part of the '90s and early '00s wearing bell-bottoms, flares, and palazzo pants.

Now, like any good trend worth repeating, wide-leg trousers are having a 2018 resurgence, and we're all in. They're comfortable, leg-elongating, and look both elegant and fashion-forward, all depending on how you style them. Looking for ways to embrace the look? We've got 25 of them.
