Regular readers of Who What Wear UK will know, when it comes to the most divisive trend of the year thus far, the answer is most definitely the baggy jean. Whether you chalk it up to the Y2K revival, or it's simply the natural progression of the tailored wide-leg trouser, the anti-skinny-jeans movement is gaining significant traction, and relaxed, loose, wide-leg, and baggy jeans are having a major moment on both the runways and the streets. Don't believe me? Have a quick scroll through Instagram and count the number of ultra-slim, spray-on skinnies you spot—you'll be hard-pressed to find them. Instead, the fashion set and a whole host of stylish celebs have been quick to jump on the voluminous new trend.
From Hailey Bieber's baggy blue jeans to Jennifer Lopez's distressed and cropped wide-leg, the A-list are reworking casual denim for nights out, and their off-duty uniforms the morning after. The latest to step out in larger-than-life denim? Queen of comfortable-chic Jennifer Lawrence.
Should you be interested in investing in baggy jeans but don't know what to wear with them, Lawrence just made it simple, as her latest outfits are the key to making wide-leg denim look premium—and it's all in the shoe. That's right, J.Law was spotted in the same baggy jeans 24 hours apart, and both times she was wearing simple Adidas trainers. How's that for an easy-to-replicate, five-minute look?
It might be spring, but while there's still a chill in the air, so there's a lot to love about Lawrence cosy maxi coat + wide-leg jeans + slim trainers combination, and she scores extra points for tapping into one of this season's other big trends—the oversized bag. So if there's any celebrity look we're ready to copy this weekend (and for the foreseeable), it's J.Law's luxe spin on casual cool.
Keep scrolling to see our favourite picks of relaxed, baggy jeans and the standout trainers you can mix and match to pair them with so you can shop J.Law's look for yourself. Happy scrolling.
