The Summer of Baggy Jeans

11 pairs to live in.

Let us be frank: It’s about damn time to loosen things up around here. And by loose, we’re obviously talking about denim — we heard your mind wander. Give us all the breathing room in the form of baggy jeans — aka the it-girl trend winning us over one lax leg at a time. Whether it’s a full-on palazzo, tapered wide-leg, or ever-so-subtle bootleg (for the newbs), we want ’em all.
