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.

High Rise ’90s Loose Jeans
Gap’s current sale has slashed its popular baggy jeans to less than $50 (a 61% off savings). The style was inspired by the ’90s and features a loose leg in a lighter wash denim that aims to sit below the belly button, and has a couple of smaller rips for extra style.
BDG Jaya Baggy Boyfriend Jean
BDG wants you to embrace the low-slung look with its faded baggy jeans. Using a worn in denim, the look provides a low-rise look and wide-leg fit for the ultimate relaxed appearance. You’ll notice over time that the fabric only gets softer with more wear.
Extra High-Waisted Sky-Hi Wide-Leg Jeans
You can’t have a complete denim collection without a solid pair of black jeans such as this baggy style from Gap. Its smooth construction comes with zero rips for an business casual office-friendly look you can pair with button downs or your favorite band T-shirt (for more casual outings).
Universal Thread Mid-Rise ’90s Baggy Jeans
Rather than grab your typical blue denim baggy jeans, this cheetah print style will have you making a statement. It comes in a gray-beige colorway you can easily show off with a colorful top, while the wide-leg construction provides a more breathable feel to keep you comfy all day long.
Low-Rise Washed Gray Baggy Jeans
Hollister’s low-rise baggy jeans come in a washed gray for a chic take on the denim trend. You can show off your newest body suit, as the low-rise waist will sit right on your hips. There are also three lengths to choose from — including short, regular and long — as well as 22 washes to collect.
Wide Leg Jean
You can’t go wrong with a classic pair of blue jeans — and Garage’s $28 style is the proof. It comes with a fitted waist that shifts into a loose fit around the thighs and legs, giving you a skater-inspired look that’s also made with a non-stretch denim.
HDLTE Baggy Jeans
These green baggy jeans are ready to serve an effortless pop of color to your outfit. You’ll zip into a high-rise fit that is the definition of loose as it comes with a wide-leg fit — not fitted spots in this design. Plus, the cotton-polyester mixed fabric will provide some stretch.

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.
