If you pay any attention to TikTok, then you’ll know that skinny jeans are over. Super baggy styles have been dominating the past few seasons, and we’re feeling the mid-’90s comfortable style that has been seen on everyone from her royal highness Rihanna to Hailey Bieber and Kylie Jenner.
When styling the dramatic look, you can keep it sexy with a crop top or mini cardigan as has been worn by Bella Hadid, or stick to the basics like Katie Holmes and pair wide jeans with a simple tee and vintage-inspired sneakers. A loose-fitting shacket offers a borrowed-from-the-boys vibe, while a romantic blouse and your most comfortable heels are an easy way to dress it up for casual date nights.

We found great, loose-fitting jeans in a wide range of styles at all of our favorite go-to denim brands, including Levi’s, Madewell, Good American and Mother, to name a few. If you wanna get a little more dramatic, we also found belted, oversized and criss-crossed silhouettes that make a bold statement (especially when paired with a designer logo belt). Or, if you’re more understated, there’s nothing wrong with shopping from the men’s section.
Ahead, check out some of the best baggy jeans to shop for spring and beyond, from boyfriend silhouettes and sustainable options.
1. Levi’s High-Waisted Straight Jeans
No denim roundup would be complete without at least one Levi’s pick. As much as we love the heritage brand’s skinny cuts, we’re drawn to this high-waisted straight pair, which is relaxed through the hip and thighs and has a comfortable extra high-rise cut.

2. Madewell Balloon Jeans
Madewell is one of our favorite brands for comfortable, well-made, and always-on-trend denim styles. (Stars including Meghan Markle, Lucy Hale, Taylor Swift and Daisy Ridley are a few who have been spotted in the label.) We like that these roomy balloon jeans (which are made of 100 percent non-stretch cotton) lean into ’80s mom jeans territory while staying decidedly modern with the roomier hip and thigh. They’re also on sale for 30 percent off when you use the code REALDEAL through Jan. 27.

4. Eloquii Gena Fit Belted High Rise Wide Leg Denim Pant
This is another belted, dark wash style we love that’s less skatepark and more dressed up date night. They’re from size-inclusive brand Eloquii, which is currently giving 40% off select items online with code WEEKEND.

5. Mother High-Waisted Tunnel Vision Jeans
One of the best luxury denim brands out there, Mother is known for its effortless fit and celebrity following.
