Baggy jeans for men

The 90s have been making a comeback in fashion for some time now. Now another trend of this decade is following suit: baggy jeans. The wide hipsters were originally emblematic of the rap scene. But they also inspired the iconic skater style. They owe their success to their comfortable fit and casual look. So it's really no surprise that this look is experiencing a revival. But some things are different with second wave of baggy jeans. We'll tell you how to wear baggy trousers today.

Loose fit Jeans: TAKE IT EASY

The wide fit provides the authentic slouchy look. Typical is the wide cut leg and the loose fit in the crotch. Oversized back pockets accentuate the look. They make it look like the trousers sit extra low. Plus, baggy trousers are back to being a little longer at the bottom than we're used to with the skinny trend. The hem of the leg lies clearly on the shoe.  

The new baggy jeans sit on the hip

The extremely low-rise oversize trousers looked casual. But let's face it, they weren't always comfortable to wear. Over time, the waistband moved lower and lower. At some point it arrived well below the bum. The trousers had to be adjusted and pulled up again and again. Also, this fit didn't exactly leave a lot of freedom to move. That's changing with the current trend. The baggy trouser now sits loosely on the hip again instead of below it. This keeps the coolness factor, but with much more added comfort. 

Loose Fit Jeans: COLOUR CHOICE

You have a lot of room to play when it comes to the colours for your new baggy jeans. They come in shades from light to dark. And all of them suit the urban look. A very even medium to dark blue wash contrasts nicely with a casual cut. This makes the baggy trousers look a little more serious. Heavily washed out jeans bring the rebel in you out to play. If you want to go one better, go for the distressed look with rips. 

The accessory for baggy trousers

Complete the '90s look. This jeans trend has a classic up its sleeve, the key chain. The long link chains are attached to the belt loop at the front and then fall decoratively down the side. Most of the time, however, it's not a bunch of keys hanging from the other end, but a wallet. If it is too risky for you to carry it around in your trouser pocket, you can simply put the chain on as a stylish accessory . 

Conclusion: Get the baggy look

The new baggy trousers are one of the hottest denim trends. They look casual, masculine and impress with high comfort. Combine them with a T-shirt, an oversized sweater or even a cardigan. The accessories here can be both sporty and flashy. From baseball caps to heavy necklaces, anything goes. The style looks effortless but still makes an impression. This makes baggy trousers a must-have. At Afound you can shop the trend as affordably as you would directly from the manufacturer.

FAQs

Where do baggy trousers come from?

Baggy trousers have their origins in the USA. Former prisoners dominated this style. They were not allowed to wear belts in prison for security reasons. So the jeans slid down to the hips. After their release, many maintained this look. It became a sign of protest and urban culture. Over time, the trend made its way into pop culture via the rap scene. In the 90s, this type of trouser was also popular among skateboarders and ravers.  

What shoes go with baggy jeans?

Baggy trousers are not only cut wider at the hip but also at the foot. They are also worn a little longer. Don't let the shoe get lost under all that heavy denim. That's why it's best to wear chunky trainers with your bulky jeans. White trainers add a crisp contrast to dark washes. Against a lighter colour, colourful trainers skilfully set accents.

How should baggy jeans fit?

In the 90s, we still had to buy jeans one or two sizes too big for the saggy look. But we have left the extremely low-sitting fit behind us. Now you can simply order your baggy trousers in your normal hip size. If you are between two sizes, take the wider one of the two. The same applies to the length. You'd rather wear baggy trousers a centimetre or two too long than too short. Also check out our popular categories Men's Jeans, Overshirts,  Swim Trunks,  Chinos and  Polo Shirts .
