The new baggy style

What were worn as low-slung baggy trousers a few years ago now get a modern twist. The days of pulling our jeans to half-mast and flashing our G-strings are over. Today we wear baggy jeans with a high-cut waistband. What remains is the wide-cut leg and the loose fit at the bottom. It's not just super comfortable. It looks great, too. 

Lengths ahead of the rest 

The current baggy style is very flexible in terms of length. There are models with flared legs, where the hem drags across the floor. With high shoes, these baggy jeans give the impression of insanely long legs. Other models are significantly shorter. They brush the ankles. These look so stylish with eye-catching strappy sandals. Or you can roll up the hem like you would a pair of boyfriend jeans. With high socks and trainers the look is playful and casual.

Since the new baggy jeans have a high waistband, they go perfectly with crop tops and short sweaters. Blouses and T-shirts can be so stylishly tucked in. And eye-catching necklines or sleeves make the look particularly feminine.

Ripped 

In true '90s fashion, baggy jeans team up with another retro trend: ripped jeans. Whether it's on the leg or the hem, the look is designed to look "distressed". This is a rocking style. The perfect match: rough boots and biker jackets. Who would have thought that hip-hop and punk could mix so well!

FAQs

Where do baggy trousers come from?

The trend originated in the USA, more precisely in American prisons. During detention, guards removed the belts of inmates for security reasons. And trousers without a belt will slip. After their release, many ex-cons continued to wear their trousers that way. Others adopted the look as a sign of rebellion. When gangster rap entered pop culture, this style of dress also became universally popular. Baggy trousers have shed their wicked image relatively quickly. As early as the mid-90s, it was fashionable for young people to wear their trousers on or below their hips. 

What shoes go with baggy jeans?

You can take the look in a specific direction with your choice of shoes. The classic look with baggy trousers are skater shoes. Trainers make the look sporty. If you prefer things a little more chic, you can also wear ankle boots. Pointed suede boots, for example, are great. Dress up the baggy trousers with fancy pumps or strappy sandals. The elegant mix of styles certainly attracts attention. The top can be kept a little more basic. 

How should baggy jeans fit?

In the past, we had to buy wide leg jeans one to two sizes too big to go along with the baggy trend. It's different today. You can order baggy trousers in your normal trouser size. The new models sit high on the waist. They should not be too large, otherwise the effect disappears. However, you shouldn't wear the jeans so small that they are overly tight on your stomach. That would ruin the casual fit.
