Baggy Jeans Are The Low-Key Trend We’re Craving Right Now
When it comes to jeans, the ‘bigger is better’ mantra rings true this season. Yep, baggy jeans are back with a vengeance and, to be honest, we’re kind of here for it. In fact, ever since skinny jeans were swapped for mom and straight-leg silhouettes, it’s felt like a matter of time before the XXL iteration made its return…
Few pieces ooze effortless style more than slouchy denim. Perfect for throwing on when you’re running out the door and for occasions when you don’t want to risk being overdressed or feel uncomfortable (because we all have a pair of jeans that aren’t meant for ‘sitting down in a restaurant‘ meals).
And, while baggy jeans might not be everyone’s cup of tea, there are plenty of fashionistas making a compelling case for bringing oversized jeans back into the fray. There have been inklings of the style making a comeback for a while (see: Raey’s cult-status pairs), although the hype has now reached fever pitch.
As for how to style the divisive look? Well, that really depends on where you’re going. Read on for this editor’s guide to dressing the versatile MVP for casual, office and party occasions.
About town
Chances are you’re eyeing baggy jeans with your off-duty wardrobe in mind. Think: cosy knits, oversized scarves and a pair of uggs (ultra minis, of course).
To the office
Offset slouchy trousers with a sharply tailored piece like a blazer or crisp shirt.
For a night out
One of our favourite combos has to be teaming baggy jeans with a mini going-out top. Better yet, why not combine the two items in the form of embellished denim? Aligne’s sold-out twinkly design is one of the most popular spins, however, there are also a handful of other brands doing it well.
