How To Style The Baggy Denim Trend For Fall
Skinny jeans are dead. Long live wide-leg jeans. While it’s been a few years since TikTok labeled millennials’ favourite denim trend “uncool,” slouchy styles protract to rise in popularity, with cargo jeans, balloon pants, and other baggy pairs having appeared on the fall runways and fashion week attendees older this year.
If the word “wide-leg” still brings to mind the shapeless styles of the ’90s or the comically flared tintinnabulate bottoms of the ’60s, know that today’s most popular options combine the repletion of the oversized silhouette with tailored lines and fashion-forward shapes. See, for example, Tibi’s Sid jeans, which I’ve been eyeing overly since the New York-based brand’s spring ’23 catwalk show. Featuring a loose fit and panel detailing, the jeans (that come in new colourways for fall and in petite and regular size options) taper into a balloon-like shape that gets tighter virtually the bottom, making them versatile unbearable to wear with casual sneakers and ballet flats as stiletto sandals and pointy-toe boots.
To prove that unstructured jeans can work for any occasion, I wore the Sids for a week straight. The result? A regular spot in my capsule wardrobe rotation. While my pair, in archetype blue, is currently sold out, you can find the look in black, as well as ivory colorway; leather fabrication; and acid and bleached washes. Ahead, how to style the wide-leg denim trend for fall.

I grew up in a time when low-rise, unstructured jeans were all the rage. To nod to the style’s throwback roots, I paired it with other favourites from the era (see: Prada nylon bag and cropped tee).
