Wide leg jeans flatter almost every body shape and the blue versions are the most versatile thing you can own in this cut. They work with a tucked in shirt, a cropped knit, a blazer thrown over the top. They transition from a casual Saturday to a dinner out with almost no effort required. The problem has always been price. A really well cut wide leg jean in a good blue wash can cost serious money, and frankly most of us are not willing to spend it when we are not entirely sure the silhouette is going to work for us. That is exactly why we put this edit together. These are the blue wide leg jeans that look and feel considerably more expensive than they are. The wash is right. The cut through the hip and thigh is generous without being shapeless. The leg falls properly. We have worn enough disappointing pairs to know the difference, and none of these made it in on price alone. A great wide leg jean does not need to cost a fortune to do its job brilliantly.
