For reference, I’m 5’4″ + wearing size 27
If you’re stuck on what to wear to the office this winter post-holidays, I’ve got you covered with four chic and minimal outfits featuring wide-leg jeans [along with a video at the end of the post]! Wide-leg jeans are my go-to because they’re comfortable and incredibly versatile to style. In all of these outfits below, I’m wearing a heeled bootie for a more professional look and to elongate my legs [instead of wearing a pair of flats or sneakers].
Lately, I’ve been loving the Levi’s Ribcage Wide Leg Jeans. They offer a slightly wider leg and more texture compared to the Madewell perfect vintage jeans, making them a stylish yet practical option for winter work outfits. Stay tuned for styling tips and outfit combos 😊
A few other wide leg jeans to check out are:
- Madewell The PV Wide Leg Jeans [linked to a similar style HERE]
- Everlane The Way High Jeans
- J.Crew Denim Trousers

How to Style: Wide Leg Jeans for the Office for Winter
Cropped Jacket + White Top
A great way to professionally style wide-leg jeans for the office is by pairing them with a cropped, collarless jacket. The structured silhouette of the jacket adds a polished touch, and incorporating a belt helps bring texture and dimension to the look.
This outfit is perfect for slightly warmer winter days (especially here in California). For those in colder climates, you can easily swap the cropped jacket for a long tailored coat to keep warm while maintaining a chic and professional vibe.

Chocolate Brown Cashmere Sweater
For a simple and smart casual way to style wide-leg jeans, pair them with a slim cashmere sweater—like this one from Quince, which is an unbeatable deal at just $50! To keep the look polished, I like to tuck in my top and add a belt to define my waistline. For a little extra texture or a subtle pop of color, accessorize with your favorite earrings or necklace.

Tan Sweater Lady Jacket
If you own a sweater lady jacket, it’s an simple way to style wide-leg jeans for a relaxed yet polished look. These jackets add a soft structure and elevate the outfit while keeping it comfortable. J.Crew used to offer a great selection of these jackets, but I’ve noticed they’ve been slowly phasing them out. Luckily, many other brands have introduced their own versions, so you can still find plenty of options!

Black Long Sleeve Turtleneck
A long sleeve turtleneck is an essential staple for your winter wardrobe. It’s the perfect layering piece that keeps you warm without requiring bulky layers, making it ideal for the office. Not only is it functional, but it’s also a chic and versatile piece to style. For a polished look, I like to tuck the turtleneck into wide-leg jeans and add a belt to break up the pieces/define my waistline. If you’re wondering about what outer layer to style this look with, I would recommend a long coat [in this case, I’d opt for a dark gray or camel coat].
