There's a small but influential group of people in the fashion world who believe that being comfortable is just as important as looking good. They'll avoid shirts with too many straps and ties, and prefer loose-fitting jeans to those that are too tight and restricting on their legs (sorry to those skinny jeans).
Even so, when it comes to figuring out how to style baggy jeans, there is room for error. Avoid wearing an oversized sweatshirt, for example, if you don't want to appear too casual. At the same time, not everyone wants to wear a body-hugging crop top to balance things out. Isn't there another choice?
We've compiled a list of nine outfit ideas for how to wear baggy jeans, which may be the trickiest pair you own but will undoubtedly become a leg favourite. With these quick fixes, you'll be ready for anything, and you won't even miss your sweatpants.
If you want to look casual-cool, this is the best option. To give this classic look some personality, add a few bold accessories like a big-buckle belt or layered necklaces.
Although it's the polar opposite of the jellyfishing trend, this oversized ensemble has a nostalgic '90s vibe that's ideal for 2022. Wear a form-fitting shirt underneath your outdoor-friendly ensemble, such as a stretchy turtleneck, so you don't get lost in all those layers.
With the help of a collared shirt, give baggy jeans a structured and slightly preppy twist. While a crisp white something is always a safe bet, a bright colour will help your outfit stand out. To tie it all together, a pair of loafers or even babydoll shoes will suffice.
Baggy jeans are light and airy, making them a great year-round option, even in the summer. Choose a light-wash option and pair it with an eyelet top and chunky sandals for a sweet, seasonal look on not-too-hot spring and summer days.
It's not boring just because it's a wardrobe staple. Baggy jeans look elevated when paired with a simple, solid tank. The look works well with a variety of footwear, including high heels and sneakers.
A structured jacket can dress up even the cosiest of outfits, making any lazy-day look feel more polished and put-together. If you're looking to dress up or professionalise your mom jeans, this is a good option.
With the help of a well-worn, vintage graphic tee, go for a laid-back grunge vibe. If the top feels too casual or oversized, add a DIY touch to your outfit — and show off more of your shape — by cropping or knotting it to your preference.
Black baggy jeans, as opposed to slim-fitting denim, will give this popular monochromatic combination a boost, adding a unique, exciting element that's fun to look at.
While it's tempting to wear your baggy jeans loose and pair them with platforms or sneakers, tucking them into knee-high boots creates a unique and playful shape (and prevents them from dragging along the floor).
