Item of the week: the baggy jeans

What it is:

While loose fit jeans have been at the forefront of popularity in recent months, upcoming seasons have seen this trend taken to the next level. For AW22 and SS23, designers have been steering more towards oversized baggy jeans, which has formed from the merging of two popular trends – the loose fit and the low waist. The result, also often referred to as ‘dad jeans’, is denim with exaggerated fits that hang loosely at the waist and have baggy cuts, similar to that of styles favoured by 90s hip hop and skater stars. While mostly seen on menswear catwalks for this season, the look has also been adopted by popular female celebrities and in genderless designer collections, each bringing a twist to the reemerging style.
