You might've heard rumblings that skinny jeans are back, but don't be folding away your baggy denim just yet. With their effortless charm and relaxed silhouette, baggy jeans have become the epitome of laid-back chic, offering a refreshing change to the confines of skinny jeans.

90's fashion is creeping back in, which means flannel shirts, denim dungarees, leopard print, and of course, super baggy jeans. We've already seen Loewe and Balenciaga champion baggy jeans on their Autumn/Winter 2025 runways, with silhouettes becoming even slouchier by the season.

Baggy jeans are hardly a new thing, however, Celebs like Rihanna, Julia Garner andLola Tunghave welcomed the baggy jeans with open arms this season, cementing their place as a staple in every wardrobe and showing us all how to wear them now.
The key is balance. When the denim is oversized, the rest of the look needs structure: a baby tee or slim tank to define the waist, or a sharp blazer that contrasts the slouch. Footwear sets the tone too, trainerslean casual, heels sharpen the silhouette, and chunky boots anchor longer hems that puddle at the ankle. When it comes to finding the right pair, not all baggy jeans are created equal. The most flattering styles sit firmly at the waist before easing into volume through the leg. Length makes a difference - cropped or barrel cuts work for petites, while taller frames can embrace the full drape. Wash matters as much as cut: light blues feel casual and ‘borrowed from the boys’, whereas darker indigos and blacks can be dressed up for evening.

Best Baggy Jeans FAQ’s
How do I find the perfect pair of baggy jeans?
Finding a good pair of baggy jeans can be difficult because you want the jeans to fit perfectly. Not too tight but also not so baggy that the jeans swamp you and pool around your ankles. But, understanding your body shape and exploring different styles and fits will help you on your search.
The best thing to do is know your measurements of where you want your jeans to sit, whether that be high-rise, mid-rise or low-rise. Baggy jeans also come in various lengths (if you're under 5 foot 4 you'll know the struggle). So measure your inside leg to find out the best length for you.
Also take note of the fabric of the jeans. Denim that has a bit of a stretch will be a bit more comfortable, after all you don't want to be limited to just a pair of standing jeans. While heavier-weight denim will offer a more structured look. Consider the wash too, as this might impact your overall look. For example, pair dark denim with a light-to-medium shade top, light wash denim with a dark or bright top, and medium wash will go with almost everything.
Will baggy jeans go out of style?
A baggy jean, just like a mom or boyfriend style jean, is just one of those items that are unlikely to ever go out of style. Something less timeless, like diamante jeans however, might do. Despite the cyclical nature of trends, baggy jeans have proven time and time again to be a staple worth holding onto. Their relaxed fit and effortless coolness mean they go with a whole host of outfits and can be worn in almost every single season. And that's what you want from a piece of clothing - something you know you'll wear again and again (and again)!
From their roots in streetwear to their recent resurgence on high-fashion runways, it's clear that baggy jeans possess a timeless appeal. So, will baggy jeans go out of style? Not if their enduring popularity has anything to say about it.
What shoes actually work?
Trainers give you a streetwear slant, kitten heels pull them into 2025 trend territory, and chunky boots balance the puddle hem. Proportions are everything, the heavier the denim, the chunkier the shoe.
Do I need to size up?
Not necessarily. Denim labels have been cutting deliberately wide silhouettes for a few seasons now. If you size up, you risk them looking borrowed rather than intentional. Stick to your size, and let the cut do the work.
Styling hacks?
A belt is a lifesaver - cinched waist against wide leg always reads polished. Crop tops, fitted knits, or even a tucked in white tee balance the proportions. Petite? Roll the hem or go for a cropped barrel cut. The volume stays, but the jeans don’t wear you.
