I’ve always preferred baggy jeans over skin-tight alternatives. There’s something so effortlessly cool—and arguably elevated—about the way billowing denim bottoms drape around the legs like a pair of loose-fitting tailored trousers. Fortunately for me and every other baggy jeans enthusiast out there, this relaxed look is dominating the denim trend cycle for 2025—and there’s no shortage of style inspiration.
During the Spring 2025 fashion week circuit, Loewe models sashayed across the runways wearing balloon-like denim slacks that were so light and breezy that they almost appeared as if they were filled with helium. Ralph Lauren embraced a boho-chic appeal by styling baggy jeans with a coordinating denim jacket, a paisley-printed headscarf, and free-spirited accessories. On the other hand, Dior put a preppy twist on its version with a structured blazer, a crisp button-down shirt, and pointy kitten heels. Meanwhile, according to Versace, the best way to wear baggy jeans is by doubling up on trends—the Italian label teamed wide-leg jeans with a coveted suede jacket.
This pants style has legs as a capsule wardrobe staple, and it’s not going anywhere soon. Here, I've styled 12 baggy jean-inspired outfits that work across many styles and aesthetics. I’ll be recreating these looks all season long and suggest you do the same.

More than anything, sleeveless pullovers are wardrobe must-haves.
