Baggy jeans … I know what you’re thinking: No, I’m okay, but thank you. That’s likely the most common response, but for some, being comfortable is just as important as looking fashionable. So, have an open mind and give me a few minutes of your time to explain why this could be a good staple to consider adding to your wardrobe.
With fall approaching, whether we are ready or not, it’s time to start preparing our closet. This baggy jean trend is a solid staple piece you can wear year round, and will never need to be retired to the back of your closet. I hear many of my friends say that they prefer to wear sweatpants, sweat shorts and ath-leisure wear because it’s comfortable. Especially as a college student in the midst of campus life attending classes all day, who doesn’t want to be comfortable? Baggy jeans can be your sweatpants substitute. They give you that oversized sweatpants feel, but you can look stylish while maintaining comfort. It’s easy to dress up or dress down baggy jeans, but it’s harder to accomplish that with sweatpants. Now, I’m not saying you can’t wear sweatpants anymore, but just simply urging you to rethink your take on baggy jeans.
How might you style them, you say? I like to advise that if you’re wearing baggy bottoms, you need to balance it with a tighter, body-hugging top. This doesn’t need to be a SKIMS tight-fitting shirt that suffocates you and you’re unable to breath all day. Rather, you could try a basic comfy shirt, then throw on a pair of comfy sneakers, or your go-to sandals. Are the jeans too baggy? Try cuffing them; it adds texture to the look!
The opposing view to this baggy jean debate is that baggy jeans aren’t flattering and don’t show off your figure. This may be true, and I agree that sometimes when I wear baggy jeans I feel that way as well; however, when styled correctly, you can be confident and comfortable too! I stand by the belief that if you feel good about what you are wearing, it reflects in your attitude and how you hold yourself. So I recommend you have an open mind, and try this baggy jean trend, you’ll be ready for any occasion and won’t even miss those sweats … that much.
