I think it's about balance. Baggy pants + tighter shirt keeps the outfit from swallowing your shape. If you have a long torso and short legs, try high rise waist wide leg jeans. They visually shorten your torso and lengthen your legs. Pair with a baby T, bodysuit, or crop top that stops and the pants' waistline. For example, I have a short torso and long legs. My favorite outfit based on baggy jeans is a low rise wide leg (these, actually: https://poshmark.com/listing/NWT-Free-People-Waterfalls-Baggy-Wide-Leg-Jeans-6702cd9ef33f71e8adb998ef ) paired with a racerback bodysuit:  ( https://a.co/d/5AelqPR ) or a modest bralette https://a.co/d/1nt4Em2 Answer from CreativeAsFuuu on reddit.com

r/fashionwomens35 on Reddit: How to wear wide straight leg jeans ?
April 11, 2025 -

apparently its common and trendy now and honestly it looks pretty good if it's pair with the right things. like some people can pull it off but for me i have shorter legs and longer torso. How do i make them work. I esp see women make it look good and it could just be a pair of levi's

they might be a bit big but it's the style

What do you wear with straight leg jeans?
I am not sure but rise really matters in jeans. I am an extra high waist gurl but I have come to see that it actually is not that flattering on me when I don't wear longer hem tops that covers the waist. Its a bit frustrating, I need to work on it. I don't have a straight cut jean atm, but similar looks. I wear shirts, tuck them at the front for blouse effect. And t-shirts mostly. I make sure the sleeves are not restricting, neckline is either open or if standard bicycle neck then I wear open front top layer over. I have a long shirt dress which sleeves and I wear it like a jacket all the time. Scrunch the sleeves, open the front wider and it truly completes my look all.the.time. Gives me a matrix vibe because its black. I wear that with my jeans a lot. But I have to say, I came to realise some other fabrics are more flattering than jeans in a weird way. I mostly wear midweight fabric trousers with little stretch now. You can't go wrong with a nice casual shirt though. More on reddit.com

What fit are these pants? Straight leg? Relaxed fit? More importantly, what would create this silhouette for someone with more meat on their thighs/hips than the models? Where can I find this style actually made for petites? I don't want just plain old blue jeans.

(I've always liked straight leg tapered on me, like mom jean,, but it's not quite the same vibe. Not sure if I can pull off totally straight leg though)

What is the best way to modify a straight leg pant pattern to a wide leg? sewing discussion topic @ PatternReview.com
March 28, 2023 - A flare would be more tricky as more width needs to be added as you go down the pant. For simple widening, I would suggest starting with adding in equal amounts to the side seams and to the front and back center lines. So yes, a slash to front and back center is needed. Widening evenly as you go down should work if you begin with a well fitting straight leg pant.

How to Style Wide Leg Pants as a Grown-ass Woman
August 20, 2025 - That’s what I remember too. Wider pants leg balanced out wide hips. I’ve followed this advice ever since, since I have problem feet and can’t wear cute ballet flats, heels or loafers. Feel the skinny jeans emphasizes my orthopedic type shoes or Hoka tennies, so wear straight leg pants.
