Skinny jeans have been the go-to denim silhouette for years. But thanks to our favorite models like Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber, there’s a new contender in town – baggy jeans. Investing in a loose pair of jeans is going to be an absolute game changer this season and we highly recommend you grab yourself a pair ASAP because this trend has major staying power. After years of prioritizing form-fitting denim, you might be feeling a bit lost on how to tackle this newfound oversized trend. But, we are here to squash all hesitations. In fact, to further convince you, we compiled a curated collection of 10 different baggy jean outfits from some style icons on Instagram. You will see that this movement is not hard to style at all with the right inspiration! Keep scrolling to see just how…

1) Crop Top + Baggy Jeans
One of the best ways to style baggy jeans is to contrast the oversized silhouette with something more fitted on the top. A cropped t-shirt or tank top does just the trick to balance out a relaxed bottom. Note that this denim trend sometimes features a low-slung waist, which exposes good part of your midriff. If that makes you uncomfortable, opt for high-rise option. It makes the look feel more modest and classic.

2) Casual Graphic Top + Relaxed Jeans + Sneakers
The baggy denim trend is very reminiscent of the 90’s hip hop trend, so why not emulate this vibe to the fullest? All you need is an oversized graphic sweatshirt or t-shirt and sneakers to transform your jeans into a stylish, urban outfit. You can heighten that effortlessly cool look by adding a bucket hat or a baseball cap.

3) Denim on Denim
We love a good Canadian tuxedo and it happens to look especially chic with baggy denim. You can throw on an equally oversized denim jacket for a casual, street style outfit. To put a polish spin on it, team your baggy jeans with square-toed sandals and a tie-waist denim jacket. Keep the 90’s aesthetic going strong by accessorizing with a y2k baguette shoulder bag.

4) Backless Top + Long Jeans
The cutout trend is another movement we have been obsessed with lately, so why not marry it with the oversized jean trend? An itty bitty backless top does a really splendid job of balancing out the loose bottoms. Complete the look with a pair of chunky loafers or some strappy sandals. This can easily become your outfit formula for a spring date night.

5) Cropped Loose Jeans & Loafers
Nothing feels more effortless than this outfit featuring the coveted relaxed denim trend. Note that with baggy jeans, you can opt for a slightly cropped silhouette and a straighter leg. It lends for a more sophisticated look. This influencer styles hers with a turtleneck top and leather jacket. However, the star of the show is most definitely the Prada loafers. This is a look we would have on repeat – even at the office! You can easily trade the turtleneck for a crewneck knit top or casual sweatshirt.

6) Trench Coat + Distressed Baggy Jeans
One of our favorite spring outerwear picks is the trench coat because it continues to be such a classic, timeless piece you can wear year after year. Try pairing your coat overtop a basic tee and your baggy denim for an easy chic look you can wear anywhere. Rock this look with square-toed mules or sneakers depending on the occasion.

7) Corset + Low Rise Jeans
Add a force of feminine energy to your baggy denim fit by wearing a flattering corset. Every detail in this look from the thong heels to the mini shoulder bag and exposed bustier looks absolutely killer together. We love how the bra detail dresses up the jeans, making it a great option for going from day to night.

8) Sweater Vest + Ultra Wide Leg Jeans
Double up on the trends by styling a sweater vest with your ultra baggy, wide-leg jeans. Both pieces are so quirky and unique, making them a match made in heaven. This particular look is perfect for transitioning from winter to spring.

9) Pastel Top + Cuffed Baggy Jeans
Along with the rise of baggy jeans, we’re also seeing a surge of pastel shades. From mint green to banana yellow and sage to lavender – you name it – it all goes. So, this is a great color option to wear with all your jeans for an everyday look. This outfit not only proves that a relaxed top can work with loose jeans (as long as you tuck it in) – but that pastels make it feel fun and playful. If desired, you can amp up the youthful vibes by wearing bright-colored shoes and cute-colored bag.

10) Flirty Top + Relaxed Denim
Baggy jeans can look frumpy and masculine if not styled properly. To prevent this from happening, pair yours with a flirty top. We love anything from slinky tie-detail blouses to silk wrap tops and barely there camisoles. The feminine contrast is eye-catching, especially with dainty layered jewelry.
Baggy jeans will reign supreme all spring and summer long – we’re calling it. There are so many reasons to get your hands on a pair – but perhaps the best is that they’re way more comfortable than your typical skinnies. If you don’t want to fall behind on spring’s biggest styles, just recreate a few of these 10 looks above and you’ll be set. Are you loving this trend? Let us know in the comments!
