I Gave Up Skinny Jeans to Try the Denim Trend Celebs Wear
I have to admit I am no stranger to baggy jeans having worn a variety of iterations since the mid-'90s—JNCO jeans, anyone? Having been so used to baggier styles, I will never forget the strong hesitation I had when skinny jeans began to reign supreme. Fast forward to more recent years, and the straight-leg styles have had a chokehold on the fashion industry. Then, what feels like overnight, baggy jeans have once again moved to the forefront. I know, I know, that's how it goes with trends, but for some reason, I never would have guessed that a JNCO site would ever be up and running, but here we are.
One thing's for sure: the baggy denim styles of today look much sleeker than ever before and after seeing how some of my favorite celebrities have styled them as of late, I am officially jumping on the bandwagon. With models like Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid to actresses like Laura Harrier, Dakota Johnson and Katie Holmes wearing the roomier denim trend, the style notes are endless. For example, one popular piece I spotted them pairing with baggy jeans is a black leather jacket. Keep scrolling to check out 12 celebrity baggy jeans outfit ideas to try this season.
