With so much nostalgic fashion from the 90s and 2000s still going strong – from the return of miniskirts and platform heels to the ubiquity of crop tops and slips – it’s no surprise that wide-leg jeans are also making a comeback. Slouchy, low-slung, straight-legged silhouettes are usually referred to as “dad jeans,” while loose, tapered silhouettes embody more of that “mom jeans” vibe (this style typically features high rises and tight waists). Some baggy jeans contain design elements such as raw hems, distressed finishes and deconstructed materials.

Whether your style is sporty, bohemian, minimalist or a mix of all of the above, baggy jeans outfits always have a certain “cool factor” that makes even the simplest of staples – from t-shirts to blazers – feel relaxed. and practical. For example, an understated white tank top paired with white baggy jeans and a straw sun hat is the ultimate coastal grandmother look ready for your next beach day. And while baggy jeans are an obvious choice for casual outings like solo afternoon walks or running errands, you can dress them up with a corset top and sharp leather jacket. These oversized styles add a relaxed touch to any outfit, and the good news? If your jeans are not intentionally designed as a baggy style, simply size up for a slouchy look.

What are wide jeans?

Any jeans that are not skinny or fitted can be considered baggy. Other terms for baggy jeans are mom jeans, boyfriend jeans, loose-fit jeans and dad jeans. The trend is a fixture for fashion lovers everywhere, with baggy jeans making a regular appearance on the street style scene during Fashion Week.
