Skinny jeans will always be around, and straight-leg jeans are an everyday classic, but long and loose baggy jeans are really having a moment in 2023. Unquestionably, they are one of the coolest ways to look on-trend this year. They've been gaining momentum for a few seasons, but thanks to their dominant presence on the spring runways, it's clear that relaxed denim isn't going anywhere any time soon. 

So how should we be styling the non-skinny jeans trend this season? We turned to the French fashion set—known for their timeless and effortlessly chic style—to see how they have been wearing and embracing the relaxed-jeans trend. Get inspired below as we share the coolest pieces French women are styling with them.
