We Called This Non-Skinny Jean Trend Ages Ago, and Well, We Were Right

If you read Who What Wear on the reg, you know that we tend to make a lot of trend predictions. At the start of last year, we called out the next big non-skinny jean trend based on what we saw coming down the runways, infiltrating Instagram, and landing at our favourite retailers. Fast-forward to today, and the denim trend in question—high-rise, wide-leg jeans–has fully taken over the fashion scene.

I'll just say it: We were right. If you don't already know what we're talking about, these full-length jeans are defined by a trouser-like wide leg and a waist-cinching high rise. We know that wide-leg jeans can be intimidating if you're used to wearing more fitted styles (ahem, skinnies), which is why the high rise is crucial here. It hugs you in all the right places and creates some nice dimension for the overall silhouette. Some of the standout pairs defining the trend are Levi's Ribcage Wide-Leg Jeans, which celebs and their stylists are keen on, as well as the Citizens of Humanity Annina Jeans, a Who What Wear editor favourite.

We went ahead and sourced the aforementioned pairs along with more of the best wide-leg jeans on the internet right now—you know, just in case you wanted to get in on the trend, too. Keep scrolling to shop all our favourites and glean inspiration for how to style them along the way.

Next up, the biggest spring/summer 2022 fashion trends to know.
