Get the Right Fit with Baggy Jeans

When you don’t feel like dealing with constricting slim-fit denim, baggy jeans save the day as a comfortable alternative. Though they are more relaxed compared to their tighter counterparts, you shouldn’t completely neglect the fit of your baggy jeans.

For a look that says chill and casual—and not sloppy— here are a few things to remember when you choose baggy jeans for your body.

Waist & Hip Size

Like all of your other denim bottoms, your baggy jeans need to fit your waistline and your hips. If they hug your hips the right way, but the waistband is loose, you’re going to run into problems. You’ll have extra denim hanging off your waist and your pants will slip down, increasing the possibility of an embarrassing mishap. Even though they have a lax fit, stay true to your measurements when picking your baggy jeans.

Rise Fit

Baggy jeans come in high-rise, mid-rise, low-rise and low-crotch. Unless they are a harem style, avoid baggy pants with an extremely long crotch area. If the length between your waist and the start of your inseam is too long, it throws off the balance of your legs and can draw unwanted attention. When choosing your baggy jeans, stick to the rise that’s the most flattering for a crisp fit.

Inseam & Outseam Length

Pay attention to seam length when it comes to your baggy jeans. If there is an option for petite, short, regular or long, opt for the length that works best for your height. This is especially important when it comes to baggy pants because they naturally bunch up at the bottom. Remember, baggy refers to the relaxed fit rather than an extremely long length.

When it comes to picking baggy jeans, the process isn’t all that different from choosing straight-legged denim. Keep your measurements in mind so they’ll fit you perfectly.
