If soft and flowy wide-leg trousers became your go-to work outfit this summer, you're not alone! Wide-leg pants are a comfy alternative to jeans and elevate your outfits to business casual. Wide-leg trousers come in so many colors, are flattering on all body types, and have a ton of affordable brands!
However, wide-leg trousers can be harder to style in the winter. Sometimes it's too cold to wear a cardigan and flats to work or school. And a lot of us are used to wearing boots with leggings, and it feels a little clunky to wear boots with flare pants.
If you're wondering what to wear with wide-leg trousers in the winter, look no further! Here are 15 stylish and WARM shoes to pair with wide-leg trousers this winter:
The easiest shoes to wear with wide-leg trousers in the winter are chunky sneakers. Thankfully, New Balance and Adidas sneakers are both trendy and functional, and can be worked into business-casual outfits!
