What are baggy and loose jeans?

Baggy and loose jeans are characterised by a relaxed fit that is roomy through the thighs and calves. These jeans often feature a wide leg, giving you extra space and comfort. With their oversized design and effortless slouch, they offer a casual, easy alternative to traditional slim fit denim. The baggy fit originated in the 1990s, popular as streetwear style amongst the hip-hop and skater communities. Today, baggy jeans have returned as a firm mainstream favourite - reimagined while giving nostalgic, throwback feels.
