Jeans have been a classic casual wear option for ages and the fashion industry loves experimenting with the wardrobe staple. There are several types of pants that are made using denim and we clearly can’t have enough of the many variations. The latest style that the internet and celebs seem to love are baggy jeans, which have been making appearances in one too many trending streetwear looks.
For the uninitiated, baggy jeans are denim bottoms that hang loose from the waist and have an oversized look. They are also called mom jeans, boyfriend or dad jeans, and loose-fit jeans. Styling these oversized denim pants is all about balancing proportions and creating an easy-going, loose-fit silhouette without looking like you’re drowning in fabric. Keep reading as we reveal eight trendy outfits that will make baggy jeans look irresistible.

Corset It Up
While there is some debate about the historical use of corsets, we promise corset tops are comfortable. A variation on the traditional garment, corset tops are meant to give you a shapely silhouette and the cut adds a sort of illusion of a slimmer waist. Pair it with baggy jeans and you’ve got a great hack to get the hourglass shape without wearing restricting shapewear. A big plus is the feminine and graceful feel that corsets add, making this outfit great for dates or simply turning heads.

Oversize It All
We should seriously enjoy this oversized-on-oversized phase that the world is having at the moment and take full advantage by styling oversized shirts with every piece of baggy clothing. Gigi Hadid leads the way to show us how a simple solid blue shirt can look as stylish as it gets. You can either opt for the two-button look like Gigi, leave the shirt open and wear a tube top inside, or half-tuck the shirt for a similar look. Also, consider rolling up the sleeves for an effortlessly cool outfit.

Add the Fusion Flair
We love making western trends and combining the elegant chikankari kurtas with baggy jeans will become your favourite summer outfit in 2024. The sheer breathable kurta and loose-fitted jeans will let your skin breathe while looking stylish. Pair this look with open-toed sandals and oxidised jhumkas for an ethnic look or take the fusion factor to another level with sneakers and a no-jewellery look.

Go With Graphics
Whether you can quote every The Office (2005) reference or sing along to every Taylor Swift song, there’s always at least one TV show, musician, sports team, or book franchise that becomes a part of your personality. What’s better than a graphic t-shirt to display that love? Pair these t-shirts with baggy jeans and a vibrant tote, and add a pop of colour with shoes in a complementary shade.

Turn Up In Trench Coats
Durable (just like denim) and waterproof, trench coats will keep you comfy and dry during winter and monsoon. Pair baggy jeans with a long trench coat, fitted top, a cap and chunky combat boots for a casual edgy look. An important thing to note is that you might have to remove the trench indoors and should be comfortable in the top you pick. You can also find lightweight trench-style jackets to get the same look in tropical weather.

Bringing Back Classic
While a white shirt and denim have been a classic comfort outfit since the 90s, we’re switching it up with currently trendy retro-inspired styles like a crop top, bucket hat, and shoulder bag. This baggy jean outfit will become your go-to for running errands or stepping out with friends for its comfort and nonchalant style. Switch the cropped top for a cropped t-shirt in any colour or print for a similar look.

Blazer of Glory
Blazer jackets paired with baggy jeans are a match made in corporate heaven for a business casual or a day-to-night look. Pair it with sneakers and chain-link chokers to make it a truly casual outfit. If you want the outfit to lean more on the formal side, go for ankle boots and minimal jewellery. To take it from AM to PM, wear a cute top under the buttoned blazer and ditch the blazer on the way to your Friday night plans.

In-vest In Comfort
Join the ’Cosy Girl’ aesthetic bandwagon with a warm and stylish look with a knit sweater vest. For an outfit that will make you look and feel cute beyond measure, wear baggy jeans with rolled-up cuffs and a sweater vest layered over a white shirt. Accessorise with nude stilettos, a handbag to match the shirt, and a chain link necklace. This is a great look to wear for winter brunches as it transitions for days when it’s cold in the early hours but gets hotter later in the day.
