The Best Pairs of Baggy Jeans and the Best Ways to Wear Them

December 1, 2020

Skinny jeans will probably never really go out of style. Although recently slouchier silhouettes have taken center stage. While slim jeans can be a struggle to even get on, looser versions provide a different problem. That’s because styling baggy jeans is pretty tricky. But, as always, we’re here to help. The key is to treat each pair differently. Each jean comes in a unique wash and is roomier in certain areas than others. So that leather blazer and turtleneck combo that looks so good with a darker rinse won’t work with lighter washes. It’s also important to take note of hems since baggier styles are frequently longer. To avoid any embarrassing stumbles, make sure to pick the right (heeled) footwear. See the slideshow above to discover the best pairs of baggy jeans. We’ve also included some tips and tricks on how to wear them without them wearing you.
