My Favourite Style: Embrace the Wide Leg Pant Trend with Pattern Emporium

What I really love is how many varieties sewing pattern for pants there are. You can go for those styles that drop straight down from the hip, giving you that wide-leg look even though they’re technically straight. Then, on the other end of the scale, you have palazzo pants that sweep out deliciously wide—so elegant and dramatic!

Because of the volume that wide leg or palazzo pants bring, I like to pair mine with shorter tops that don’t add extra bulk. I’m talking about the Besties Tee or the Game On Top with the banded hem that sits right at the waist. It’s a great way to keep everything balanced. For summer or a night out, I love wearing our stretch palazzo pants in a crepe knit with the banded One Shoulder Tank. The fit nips in at the waist just right, and that soft band detail adds a nice touch of style and comfort.

Now, if you’re also a fan of wide leg pants or want to try them out, we’ve got a fabulous selection of pant sewing patterns you’ll love. Here are a few of my top picks: 

Wide Leg Pants Patterns for Woven Fabrics

Vacation Vibes Palazzo Pants

These are your go-to for relaxed elegance. Perfect for holidays or a casual day out, these pants have a flowy silhouette that moves beautifully. They feature an easy elastic pull-on waist and a wider flare than the Coco Wide Leg Pants, making them ideal for a bold, breezy look. Yes… they have pockets! I’ve even used this sewing pattern for pants to make shorts. Wear with the beautiful Make It Happen Top like Melanie has, or the low key cami.

Seachange Jumpsuit & Playsuit

This pattern combines the ease of wide leg pants with the simplicity of a jumpsuit. The Seachange is deliciously roomy, offering a relaxed fit that’s perfect for lounging or dressing up with the right accessories. Whether you’re aiming for a laid-back or more refined look, this pattern has plenty of options.

Coco Wide Leg Pants

Classic and timeless, the Coco Wide Leg Pants are a wardrobe staple. Like the Vacation Vibes, they also feature an elastic pull-on waist, making them super easy to wear. While they’re less dramatic in flare compared to the Vacation Vibes, they’re versatile enough to dress up or down, depending on your style. Add subtle hidden pockets or bold front pockets.

Wide Leg Pants Patterns for Stretch Fabrics

Walk Boldly Wide Leg Pants

If you love making a statement while staying comfortable, the Walk Boldly Pants are perfect. They have that polished, suit-like appearance, but they’re sewn in knit fabrics, making them incredibly comfy. The flat waistband and darts at the back give them a great shape, and the pocket options mean you can add your own personal style. 

For the weekend, team with your favourite PE knit top & the Smitten Jacket. Make a statement pair like Erica’s checked pants or keep it all business & put-together & pair with the Be Mine Balloon Sleeve Top or All-In Shirt. 

Urban Flair Pant Collection – Wide Leg, Flares & Tapered Pants

If you prefer a more fitted look, the Urban Flair pattern is a great choice. These wide leg pants are more fitted through the waist and seat, which makes them easy to style with looser shirts or t-shirts. You can dress them up or down, depending on the occasion, making them a versatile addition to your wardrobe. Plus this pattern also contains tapered & flare pants patterns, and a maternity waistband option.

Stretch Palazzo Pants

These are a must-have for a chic and sophisticated look that transitions seamlessly from day to night. The clean lines and flowing silhouette make these pants a versatile option for both casual and dressy outfits. Style them with the fabulous French tuck that both Melanie & I love for a put together casual look or with your favourite PE banded top like the Besties, One Shoulder Tank or Game On One Shoulder Top.
