FYI, we have a roundup of the best places to buy jeans online (Target is #30!), if you're in the market for some other styles, too.

4. A smooth pair of wide-leg jeans that look professional enough to wear to work and can still be dressed casually for your weekend brunch with friends.
5. A high-waisted wide-leg jean that's not too wide but not too skinny, it's just right and even has bonus side pockets you can store your keys, phone, (and more!) in.
6. A pair of white wide-leg jeans because you simply can't go wrong with this summertime classic. The bright white denim wash brings a clean feel and will make any statement top really pop.
7. A pair of ripped wide-leg jeans to feel effortlessly cool in — and we don't just mean temperature-wise. The flowy loose leg provides ventilation, while the medium-light wash makes it a staple for spring and summer.
8. Some wide-leg jeans made with a cotton and tencel blended fabric, creating denim that maintains its shape and structure while you wear it, but feels soft to the touch.
Promising review: "These fit perfectly and look super cute! I usually wear a tall but decided to go with the regular length so I wouldn't be stepping on the wide leg bottoms. The regular length was perfect for my 33" inseam legs." –Deb M
Get it from Banana Republic for $31.99+ (originally $79.99; available in sizes 24–35, petite, regular, and long lengths.
9. A colorful pair of vintage-inspired wide jeans to cheer up the denim section of your closet, which has been looking a little *blue* lately.
Promising review: "Do you want your butt to look good? Then just do it. These are super cute, comfy, and have some stretch. I was worried they'd run too small in the inseam (inducing some 'c–toe,' if you know what I mean) but they have a nice stretch to them to avoid any public display. The color is less purple than I thought, more of a grayish/purple tone, but they go with everything. Love the crop too, they feel on-trend and not too wide-legged like I should be carrying a skateboard and a chain wallet. I'm usually a 26 in Madewell, and stuck to that size." –KAGEY
Get it from Madewell for $138 (available in sizes 23–33 and three colors).
10. A wide-leg cargo jean with pockets — like six *deeeeeep* pockets you can basically ditch your purse for since you'll be able to store everything you need in these.
11. A pair of denim bloomers reviewers have literally compared to pajama pants they're that comfortable. Designed with an elastic band, your sweatpants will definitely be giving these the side-eye after you replace them with these.
12. A pair of wide-leg jeans in black that reach totally tuckable heights and can be dressed up for work or down paired with your ridiculously cozy sherpa jacket.
13. A pair of patched wide-leg jeans we dare you to try and not make a statement in. The mix and match denim feature raw edges and a stretchy denim we'd proudly describe as "Da bomb."
14. A classic pair of wide-leg jeans reviewers are absolutely obsessed with for its comfy fabric, deep blue shade, and straight leg fit that creates a clean finished look.
15. A bell-bottom wide-leg jean that is totally far out in style (and width) — and since it's made with a soft stretchy material you may not even want to change out of when you get home.
16. A wide-leg jean we're totally buggin' over with its ripped knees and high-waisted fit — just grab your closest shoulder purse and you'll have the ultimate '90s fit.
17. Some super trendy wide-leg jeans in ripped, detailed, and different wash varieties so you can stock up on a bunch of pairs and keep yourself as far away from "cheugy" as possible. IYKYK!
Promising review: "I love these! Nice, thick jeans that sinch a little at the waist. I'm a 28 waist, 39 hips, 140-lbs – I'm consistently a medium and these fit perfectly and are comfortable. I did hours of research and these do not disappoint." –Cristina

25. A pair of green wide-leg jeans featuring a relaxed baggy appearance to add a pop of color and maybe even ditch your comfy pairs of pants for.
26. A tried-and-true pair of "high-loose" wide-leg jeans by Levi's that are aptly named for their high-rise waistline and baggy (but not *too* baggy) legs. Your closet might actually thank you for this addition!
Promising review: "Perfect jeans! I was hesitant to buy these without trying them on with the high price, but I'm glad I did. Also glad I listened to some reviewers about sizing down. I am between a 24 and a 25 and went with the 24 which fit perfect." –Barbara
