    I’ve always preferred baggy jeans over skin-tight options. There’s something effortlessly cool—and arguably more stylish—about how billowing denim drapes around the legs like loose-fitting tailored trousers. Luckily for me and every other baggy jeans fan, this relaxed look is dominating the denim trend cycle for 2025—and there’s plenty of style inspiration.

    During the Fall 2025 fashion week circuit, Zimmermann models sashayed across the runways wearing balloon-like denim slacks that were so light and breezy that they almost looked as if they were filled with helium. Chloé embraced a boho-chic vibe by styling baggy jeans with a ruffled top, '70s-inspired sunglasses, and free-spirited jewelry. Meanwhile, Dior added a Canadian-tuxedo twist with a coordinating denim jacket and combat boots to match. At the same time, Brandon Maxwell said the best way to wear baggy jeans is by doubling up on trends—he paired wide-leg jeans with a leather bomber jacket.

    This pant style has legs as a fall capsule wardrobe staple, and it’s not going anywhere soon. Here, I've styled 12 baggy jean-inspired outfits that work across many aesthetics. I’ll be recreating these looks all season long and suggest you do the same.
