widerlegged

Widerlegged is a term used to describe a physical characteristic, most commonly associated with clothing or furniture, indicating a broader expanse between the legs or supports. In fashion, "wider-legged" pants or trousers refer to styles where the leg opening or the overall width of the leg is significantly greater than in more fitted styles. This can range from a gentle flare to a dramatic bell-bottom. This design choice can be for aesthetic reasons, to create a particular silhouette, or for comfort and ease of movement.

In the context of furniture, particularly chairs and tables, "wider-legged" describes designs where the supports or legs are spaced further apart from each other. This can contribute to increased stability and a more robust appearance. For example, a table with wider-set legs might be perceived as more sturdy than one with narrowly placed legs. The term is descriptive and objective, referring to the spatial relationship between the legs rather than any qualitative judgment.
