my favorite way to style baggy jeans

1. Baggy Jeans With Striped Oversized Button Down

Baggy jeans paired with a light blue striped button-down is one of those combos that looks effortlessly polished without trying too hard. Tuck in the shirt (half or full) to define your waist, and add a belt to pull it all together. Finish with sneakers or loafers for a relaxed, borrowed-from-the-boys feel—or swap in a heeled sandal to elevate it just a bit.

2. Baggy jean with vest

Baggy jeans with a knit vest (or even a structured regular vest) instantly give off that cool, layered look that feels both relaxed and intentional. Throw a white tee underneath for contrast—it keeps the outfit grounded and gives it that effortless, borrowed-from-the-90s vibe. Add chunky sneakers or loafers to finish the look, and you’ve got an outfit that’s equal parts cozy and cool.

3. How To Style Baggy jean with White T Shirt

My favorite way to style baggy jeans - a crisp white t-shirt. Baggy jeans and a white tee is as classic as it gets—but it’s all about the little details. I love adding a black belt to break things up and make it feel more styled. You can keep it casual with sneakers or throw on loafers or sandals if you want to dress it up a bit. Clean, easy, and always works.

White baggy jeans with a classic white tee and a black belt is such a clean, minimal combo—but the contrast from the belt makes it feel styled, not plain. It’s the kind of outfit that looks polished without trying too hard. You can keep it casual with sneakers or lean chic with black loafers or strappy sandals. Add gold hoops or a sleek bag if you want to dress it up just a touch.

4. Baggy Jean with cropped Cardigan or Sweater

Styling baggy jeans with a cropped cardigan or sweater is one of my go-to combos when I want to look put together but still feel super comfy. The cropped length balances out the volume of the jeans and it gives me an opportunity to show off my stomach. I usually go for something slightly fitted on top and let the jeans do their thing.

Baggy jeans with a simple camisole and sandals is peak summer chic—especially if you're strolling around on vacation in Europe. It’s lightweight, easy, and just the right amount of effortless. I love how the loose denim keeps it casual while the cami adds that soft, feminine touch. Throw on some sunglasses, a woven tote, and you’re good to go for anything from a café stop to a sunset dinner.

Baggy jeans with an oversized tee is a great chill and laid back combo—but the key is in the accessories. Add a bag with a pop of color (something like the butter yellow Mini Jodie) and suddenly the whole outfit feels intentional and cool. It’s giving off-duty, but make it fun. I’d throw on my favorite adidas samba alternatives.

Baggy jeans with a pinstriped oversized blazer is such a good high-low mix. The blazer brings that structured, tailored feel while the jeans keep it laid-back and effortless. I’d pair it with a simple tank or crop underneath, then finish the look with sneakers for daytime or heels if you’re heading out. It’s the kind of outfit that feels cool without trying too hard.

This is a great Fall or Spring look. Baggy jeans with a suede jacket is the perfect mix of rugged and relaxed. Suede feels and looks so luxe without trying too hard. I’d go for a simple top underneath—maybe a fitted tee or light sweater—and throw on some boots. It’s an easy way to elevate your look without overthinking it.

Can baggy jeans be flattering?

Definitely! Baggy jeans can absolutely be flattering—it’s all about how you style them. When paired with the right pieces, like a cropped cardigan or a fitted top, they can highlight your shape without feeling too oversized. Adding a structured piece, like an oversized blazer or a suede jacket, can also balance out the loose fit of the jeans and create a more tailored look. Don’t forget accessories—something like a statement bag with a pop of color or fun heels can make the outfit feel intentional and elevate the overall vibe. It’s all about finding that perfect balance between relaxed and put-together!
