It’s no secret that ’90s and Y2K fashion are considered the trends to be sporting right now. Both styles reemerged on the runway, bringing with them nostalgia-filled apparel ranging from belly chains to micro skirts. Among the numerous trends from both decades that have gone viral is one denim style that seems to be a favorite among most musicians: baggy jeans.
Artists who have made the denim look a signature part of their wardrobe include Charli XCX and Tate McRae, who are known for their grunge, sporty aesthetic. Crafting the vintage vibe requires a pair of baggy jeans — usually with a low-rise — paired with a crop top to elongate and accentuate your waist.

Another star who is known for her punk rock vibe is Gwen Stefani, who continues to incorporate baggy jeans beyond the ’90s into her streetwear. It’s common to see some sort of plaid pattern paired with the bottoms along with her staple platform boots. Most musicians tend to wear denim that are priced well above $100, but if you’re not looking to invest in designer jeans right now, there are plenty of baggy jeans under $50 that’ll let you show off the trend without blowing your budget.

Wide Leg Jean

What Is the Baggy Jeans Style Called?
The denim style isn’t just referred to as baggy jeans — there are a variety of other labels you can use depending on the type of baggy you’re looking for. Some brands refer to the style as “slouchy” or “relaxed,” while more rounded legs are considered barrel jeans. For the loosest look, you’ll want to check out wide-leg jeans.
