What to Wear with Wide Leg Jeans to a Wedding Rehearsal

Short answer: Pair dark wide leg jeans with a dressy top, a blazer or a crisp shirt, and polished shoes with enough heel or structure to suit the full-length hem. Keep jewelry simple and check the dress code with the couple first.

A rehearsal is usually less formal than the wedding, but you still want to look put together in photos and over dinner. Black wide leg jeans can fit that middle ground well when the top and shoes do the dressing up. Here are three ways to style our wide leg black jeans.

Satin cami, blazer and block heels

Start with the black wide-leg jeans and add a satin or silky cami in ivory, champagne or deep green. Layer a fitted black or cream blazer over it, and finish with block-heel sandals or pointed mules. The hems are full length, so try on the exact shoes you plan to wear when you check the length. Add small gold hoops and a slim clutch. The flat, matte black denim looks dressy enough for dinner after the run-through without feeling like a costume.

Fitted knit top, thin belt and ankle boots

For a cooler evening or a barn or garden venue, try a fitted knit top or bodysuit in a soft neutral. These jeans sit mid-to-low on the waist and have belt loops, so a thin leather belt in black or brown adds shape and keeps the look tidy. Pair them with pointed ankle boots with a small heel, which tuck neatly under a wide hem. Add a long pendant necklace and a light wrap. The leopard star patches on the back pockets give a little personality as you walk away.

Crisp white shirt, loafers and gold jewelry

If the rehearsal is relaxed, go classic. Wear a crisp white button-up with the sleeves rolled once or twice. Add black loafers or sleek flats, a simple gold watch and stud earrings. Leave the shirt untucked if you would rather cover the back pockets, or tuck it in and let the leopard star patches be the one playful detail. This is the easiest option if you will be on your feet greeting family, lining people up and moving chairs.

Check the dress code before you commit

Rehearsal dinners range from backyard barbecues to seated dinners at a nice restaurant. Ask the couple or the planner what to expect, and mention you are thinking of dark denim. If the evening leans formal, a wide leg black jean with a blazer and heels can still work, but a dress or dressy trousers may be safer. If it is casual, you can swap the heels for loafers or flat sandals and keep the same top. When in doubt, dress the top half up.
