How to Wear Baggy Jeans (Outfit Inspo for Him)

How to Rock the Loose Jean Vibe And Still Look Dope

The key to wearing baggy pants well is to respect the line between looking dope and looking dopey. Loose jeans should still fit right in the hips and length, and when they're styled with the right shirt, you can still pull off a put-together look. 

Here are tips for styling outfits with baggy jeans for men.

Loose Up or Down, Choose One

The rule of fashion for wearing baggy or loose-fit clothes is not to go head-to-toe with the baggy look. Yes, you'll see some celebs pull off this look; however, for 99% of us regular dudes, we have to balance baggy with fitted. Otherwise, we risk looking sloppy.  

One of our favorite baggy pants outfit ideas is to pair loose-leg or wide-leg jeans with a fitted tee or sleeveless workout shirt. The idea here is not to go baggy head to toe. Instead, balance the loose fit of the jeans with a fitted tee or tank. 

Big Jeans, Flare Style 

One of the most popular ways to experiment with the baggy pants look, especially if you've been squeezing into skinny jeans for the last decade, is with stacked denim. 

This style of jeans is fitted through the hips and thighs, but the lower hem almost drags below the heels. The extra fabric from the deliberate "too-long" pant leg then bunches to produce a stacked look. Stacked jeans aren't necessarily "baggy," but they're a good way to transition into the baggy-jean style, if that's what you're into.

Stacked and super-stacked jeans are a type of baggy pants fashion that goes well with long- or short-sleeve fitted tees and even layered looks with graphic tees under a button-down or a hoodie under a denim jacket. Because the stacked jean is fitted through the waist and upper legs, it's OK to mix them with a looser look on top. 

How to Wear Baggy Pants, Grunge Style

The wide-leg pant is an essential addition to the grunge aesthetic. The question arises, though: How do you wear the baggy pants grunge-style without looking like you're stuck in the '90s? A signature look among grunge, skater and hip-hop aesthetics of the 90s, oversized trousers were ill-fitted at the waist and, for a short time, cuffed at the ankles. 

Today's ultra-wide and wide-leg pants are all about the fit. They sit perfectly at the waist and hips and loosen as they taper down the leg. 

Grunge mens baggy jeans are must-haves for Rockstar Original men. Wear them with a fitted or loose-fit rockband tee or short-sleeve hoodie. But the key to pulling off this look today is in the shoes. Opt for white kicks or color-coordinated athletic shoes, the cleaner and newer, the better. 

Shoes to Wear With Baggy Jeans

Athletic shoes are the choice with baggy jeans, as is with most streetwear denim. On warmer days, men's slide sandals pair well, too. 

The key, our design team tells us, is not to let the shoe steal the show from the baggy jean look. Comfort is crucial, and nothing is more comfortable than a fresh pair of kicks.
