HOW TO STYLE BAGGY JEANS

It’s giving a lil 90s boyband NRG and you know what? We’re into it. Opt for a printed T-shirt underneath to make your look stand out, or if you really want your baggy jeans to score top marks, find a pair like the ones above with carpenter-style deets – workwear is HUGE atm 🛠️

Sometimes, you’ve just gotta spotlight your new baggy jeans and the best way to do that is with a simple plain tee 🔦 We have LOADSA diff colours and washes of baggy jeans here at ASOS, so really, the matching ops are endless. Khaki and black are always a good pairing, espesh as we head into the more tonal autumn months.

Speaking of autumn, as the weather draws in a bit, an oversized hoodie is the perf staple to team with your new larger-than-life jeans. The-go-big-or-go-home look draws on that 80s/90s hip-hop heritage, which means the pairing is never not going to look cool. That’s about as close to a certi look as you can get – it’s been rad since the 80s! 

We’re taking quite a bit of inspo from the 80s here, tbf. Double denim was basically the uniform of the decade and, as with all great looks, it always comes back. The beauty of this vibe is in its choice: you can mix up washes or go all matchy-matchy with it like the look above. You can’t go wrong with a denim jacket from Levi’s, Carhartt WIP, Wrangler or ASOS DESIGN, either.

Feels snug like a jacket, looks like a shirt – that’s what an overshirt is (or a shacket, in some cases). Yep, a great way of giving your baggy jeans a slightly smarter edge is to style them with one of these bad boys. We’ve got these 90s-style oversized options from ASOS DESIGN that make a refreshing change from sweatshirts and hoodies, an MVP of any rotation for sure.

Sportswear and denim might sound like an unlikely combo but man, do they make a great duo. Give your baggy jeans an athleisure update by bagging a track jacket. We love this one from Nike because of that gigantic Swoosh on the front – but we’ve also got loads of styles from adidas, Reebok, Puma, New Balance, and other sporty style legends.

Notorious B.I.G., Kanye West, Wu-Tang Klan, Drake – these are just a few of hip-hop's megastars that have repped a pair of Timbs with baggy jeans. If there’s one pair of boots that will absolutely go with your new denim, it’s a pair of Timberland boots. The premium 6-inch style above is the OG of the brand, but now Timberland has expanded its roster to include loads more colours and different styles. Oh, and the best part is, these beauts are water-resistant, too! That means they're the ideal investment for the winter months (alongside your brand-new jeans, ofc).

We’ve talked a lot about hip-hop, but there’s another subculture that’s also played its part in bringing baggy jeans to the masses: skateboarding 🛹 Roomy denim has long been the uniform of choice for curb-surfers, and there’s one legendary sneaker style that always lands: the Vans slip-on. First released in the 70s and snapped up by boarders and BMXers alike, the iconic slip-on is still one of the brand's most-loved shapes – especially in the checkerboard print above 🏁

If you want to up the volume on your jeans AND your sneaks, opt for a chunky-AF sneaker like the Niteball silhouette above from adidas Originals' collection. There's two ways to style your jeans with sneaks this fresh: stick with 90s inspo and let your baggy jeans sit on top of your sneaks, OR, to make the most of the kicks, give your jeans cuffs a couple of rolls so they sit just above the tongue.

The ultimate accessory for your new denim is the humble bum bag. It’s a street-style staple and perf for storing all your essentials when you’re out and about representing your fresh 'fit. We’ve picked this Obey piece above because it’s larger than usual and also, that purple is *chef's kiss*. If you want to represent streetwear brands, we’d recommend searching The North Face, Dickies, adidas Originals and Tommy Jeans for extra logo-heavy clout.
