4 WAYS TO STYLE BAGGY JEANS

After an early 2010s stint in the shadows (thanks to their younger sibling, the skinny jean) baggy jeans are now back and bigger than ever – literally. A brief history lesson: baggy jeans have their roots in workwear, originally designed for miners and construction workers, who needed more durable and flexible clothes. Fast forward a few decades and hip-hop culture opened them up to a fresher, edgier audience, eventually catching the attention of high-fashion houses. It's safe to say we're loving them right now, so scroll for some of our favourite variations and details on how to style them.

With the transitional season comes a style transition…or does it? We're honouring summer '24 (one of the best yet, may we say) by keeping the terrace vibes rolling – style dark-wash baggy jeans with a long-sleeve football tee and some adidas low-profiles. Euro season may be over, but you can stay on theme for the Prem by keeping everything in darker tones, or brighten up gloomier days with that Brazil jersey you swore by in June.

Instead of just daydreaming about vintage cars and cold cases, why not bring that vibe to your wardrobe? The key to pulling off the look is by wearing darker denim that is *just* baggy enough to pass as suit trousers from a distance – comfy yet professional. Pair them with a leather Harrington jacket (a big deal for AW24, FYI), crisp white button-up, and brown loafers to fully lean into the sleek and suave vibes.

This season we're taking notes from a classic NYC uniform; the baggy jeans + Timbs combo that's thrived across the five boroughs for decades. With hip-hop-stars-turned-fashion-icons like Nas and Joey Bada$$ spotted rocking this style, you'll have everyone convinced you're actually from the Big Apple. Going double denim by matching the jeans and jacket, as well as contrast-stitch details are key to channelling that city swagger.

Nothing says skater quite like ultra-baggy jeans, Vans and a double-layered tee, so that’s exactly the look we’re serving (whether you have the stickered-up skateboard to match or not). The jeans can’t just be any pair though, Cheap Monday’s comeback collection includes jeans that are the baggiest at the bottom, so they drape perfectly over the chunky Knu Skool trainers to just about expose the Vans logo.
