31 Ways To Style The Baggy Jean Trend

Every year is the year of baggy jeans, which means it's finally time to say goodbye to those skinny jeans that might look good on you but don't feel comfortable at all. And if you say they are comfy, you probably haven't worn a pair of wider jeans in a long time, which is something that definitely needs to be changed. 

"We, as women, are often subjected to the standards that society has previously set upon us, that we need to be in tight, fitted, professional clothes to be considered presentable," Danielle Guizio, the founder of her eponymous label, tells The Zoe Report. "Comfort comes first for me, and I personally feel more confident when I'm wearing garments that aren't tugging at me in the wrong places. You can still look and feel put together with slouchy jeans on. It's a feeling above all." If you're someone who thinks baggy jeans are tomboyish, won't enhance your silhouette, and can only be worn casually, let us prove you wrong!

Baggy jeans can be intimidating since it's so easy to lose your shape in them. However, the easiest way to rock baggy jeans while still showing off your silhouette is to pair them with a corset top. The contrast between something baggy and skin-tight gives the whole look a more glamorous vibe, and it's the perfect outfit for a night out!

Baggy jeans are super versatile and they can truly be combined with any fashion style. If you love minimalist, monochromatic fashion, baggy jeans work great with them. You can totally go the ultra-trendy all-blue denim route, or you can pick a pair of baggy jeans in a fun color and coordinate the rest of the outfit with them.

Since baggy jeans are so loose and airy, they are a great clothing item for summer, especially if they are made from thinner denim. Because the air can freely move underneath them, baggy jeans are actually a very stylish clothing item to rock to the beach. Pair them with your favorite bikini and a simple unbuttoned shirt for that effortlessly chic vibe.

Apart from rocking baggy jeans and a classic button-up to the beach, you can also wear them together as a full outfit. All you have to do is button the shirt up and potentially tuck it in. However, if you prefer keeping things a bit more on the looser side, consider only buttoning up one of two buttons in the center, letting a glimpse of your midsection show.

If cuffing your baggy jeans isn't for you, but you would still like your shoes to show, consider opting for baggy jeans with slit bottoms. In fact, if you dare to do some DIY-ing yourself, consider cutting the slits in a pair you already own. Not only will this make walking in an oversized and long pair of jeans much easier, but your sneaker, boots, and heels will also now have plenty of space to shine!

Apart from classic baggy jeans, you can always go for ripped ones to add more texture to your outfit without having to add too many additional pieces of clothing. To contrast the ripped jeans' roughness, pair them with a ruffly corset top for that hint of femininity. If there's one thing you take away from us, it's that combining different fashion styles is not only fun but also fashion-forward!

We already know that denim is a huge trend, so why not explore it with a pair of baggy jeans? Pair your favorite ones with an oversized denim button-up, and once again, button it up only in the center, allowing a bit of your tummy to peek through.

Baggy jeans look great in all seasons, but they shine best when paired with clothing that's contrasting in size — like a tiny summery top. To enhance the summer vibe even more, opt for a pair of baggy jeans in a light wash, and, of course, make sure that it is made from thinner denim to ensure you're not too warm.

If a light wash isn't your cup of tea, you can go towards the opposite end of the spectrum by opting for a dark-washed pair of baggy jeans (or even black). Pairing them with a dark top and minimal accessories is the perfect way to channel that inner model-off-duty look. Pair the whole look with a bun or ponytail and some vintage '90s sunnies, and you're ready to walk out the door!

If your baggy jeans are too big around the waist, you can use the TikTok button hack, or let the jeans sit lower on your hips. Currently, aughts fashion is having a massive revival, which means that low-rise jeans are all the rage — and oversized baggy jeans fit this trend perfectly!

Because baggy jeans usually have a very long hemline — and they often drag on the ground — they are the perfect clothing item to pair with ultra-chunky sneakers. In fact, the baggy silhouette of the jeans will tone down some of the sneakers' chunkiness, making them much easier to incorporate into your outfit without looking like a Bratz doll.

A cropped top with baggy jeans is always a classic option, and if you feel confident enough (which you should because you're gorgeous), rock the crop top with low-rise baggy jeans. If you aren't there yet, you can always pair a cropped top with high-waist baggy jeans, as it will look just as cool.

Just because a clothing item is oversized doesn't mean that it has to be tomboyish. You can easily style an oversized pair of jeans and an oversized button-up in a preppy, high-fashion way. Little details like tying the bottoms of your jeans and your waistline add that bit of put-togetherness a bulky outfit can lack.

Since the thrift store is a great place to find baggy jeans at an affordable price (and in an environmentally conscious way), chances are you might come across a pair you love but the waistline is way too big. If low-rise jeans aren't your cup of tea, pair the jeans with a chunky statement belt that will cinch the jeans to fit your waist. And don't worry about the bulkiness that will form around your waist — it's part of the baggy jeans look.

Pair your baggy jeans with a dainty backless top to contrast the tomboyish look. After all, a woman's back is one of the most underrated and sensual parts to show off. To wrap up the look, put on a pair of strappy heels and bring a classic envelope bag. Everything about this outfit but the baggy jeans is classic, which makes this outfit the perfect balance of Gen Z fashion and timeless pieces.
