Wide-Leg Jeans Are Everywhere — 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’ favorite denim trend “uncool,” slouchy styles continue to rise in popularity, with cargo jeans, balloon pants, and other baggy pairs having appeared on the fall runways and fashion week attendees earlier this year.

If the word “wide-leg” still brings to mind the shapeless styles of the ’90s or the comically flared bell bottoms of the ’60s, know that today’s most popular options combine the comfort of the oversized silhouette with tailored lines and fashion-forward shapes. See, for example, Tibi’s Sid jeans, which I’ve been eyeing ever since the New York-based brand’s spring ’23 catwalk show. Featuring a loose fit and panel detailing, the jeans (that come in new colorways for fall and in petite and regular size options) taper into a balloon-like shape that gets tighter around the bottom, making them versatile enough to wear with casual sneakers and ballet flats as stiletto sandals and pointy-toe boots.

To prove that baggy 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 classic 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.

How to Style Wide-Leg Jeans With a Blazer

For a day at the office, I copied the styling from Tibi’s runway show and tucked a transitional blazer into the waistline which I then belted. To make wide-leg jeans even more work-appropriate, pair the look with a pointy pump or boot. To avoid looking too corporate, I opted for a zebra-print mule and a colorful bag.

How to Style Wide-Leg Jeans With a Button-Down

To run weekend errands, embrace the comfort of the loose silhouette (skinny jeans could never) and add to it with an equally oversized button-down, a buttery soft cashmere sweater, and a pair of reliable sneakers.

How to Style Wide-Leg Jeans With a Going-Out Top

I am not big mini skirts or dresses, so I’ve been loving the comeback of the going-out top, which I took out for a spin with the denim. For a more festive feeling, complete the look with statement accessories like a sparkly bag and a fun shoe and top with a knit duster (I am currently on the hunt for a vintage one from Missoni) for those crisp autumn nights.

How to Style Wide-Leg Jeans With a Blouse

To elevate the wide-leg, baggy jeans for a nice dinner or special occasion, pair the utilitarian denim style with silky, luxe fabrics; feminine details like a pussy-cat bow and florals; and sharp “I mean business” footwear.

How to Style Wide-Leg Jeans With a T-shirt

I grew up in a time when low-rise, baggy jeans were all the rage. To nod to the style’s throwback roots, I paired it with other favorites from the era (see: Prada nylon bag and cropped tee). To take the look into fall territory and give it a more grown-up feel, I topped it off with a leather bomber and chunky clogs.

Fall Fashion Is All About Wearability — Here Are The Pieces Your Need

Since the pandemic, the fashion industry’s offerings have reflected a need for escapism and fun through trends like dopamine dressing, Y2K styles, and fantasy-fueled styles. Yet, looking at the fall/winter 2023 lineups, it’s clear that the pendulum is swinging back, with designers returning to a mood more rooted in reality.

“Wearability,” as fashion critics have described the trend that loosely refers to clothing essentials, was a hot topic when brands showed the collections in February and March. After a few years of over-the-top styles, runway names were suddenly prioritizing fall staples, tailoring, and mix-and-match wardrobes. Take, for example, Miu Miu — a brand that just seasons prior showed the viral mini skirt and thigh-high furry boots — which featured models wearing blazers over hoodies. Instead of showing its prim-and-proper dresses, Prada likewise made a case for everyday cashmere sweaters (albeit paired with delicately embroidered skirts). Meanwhile, Valentino showed beaded pieces that mimicked the look of denim for its fall 2023 couture collection.

Much like the previous wave of whimsical, fanciful trends, this collective jump into normcore 2.0 may also be fueled by societal phenomena. Fears of an impending recession and a cost of living crisis are sparking a mood of soberness and a need for functionality in fashion; trends like “quiet luxury” are inviting consumers to dress like the wealthy as a substitute for actually getting rich. “Quiet luxury is on everyone’s mind, and while it’s a trend that will remain constant, we’ll see designers continuing to breathe new life into wearable, everyday staples through unique embellishments and prints,” said Caroline Maguire, fashion director at Shopbop. Then, there’s also the rising popularity of capsule wardrobes as a way to lower consumers’ carbon footprint.

Beyond a buzzword, the “wearability” trend is a return to basics that urges shoppers to prioritize the building blocks of everyday outfits rather than one-and-done special-occasion looks. This means it’s a time to focus heavily on the core essentials in our closets. For fall, according to Maguire, that means “tailored staples like trousers, trench coats and structured blazers, and luxe leathers and suedes in rich browns and blacks.” Ahead, more fall essentials that will give your wardrobe a reality check this season.

A Maxi Skirt

Maxi skirts have been on trend for most of 2023, and this is because, as Maguire points out, it’s a transitional piece that’s easily styled from spring to winter. This fall, it’s all about minimalist styles, as seen in the monochrome Tibi look pictured here.

Ballet Flats

Ground yourself literally this season, by switching out the previously popular platforms for ballet flats. Similarly to clothing, ballet flats in shades like black, beige, red, and chocolate will reign this fall. Alaia’s and Khaite’s mesh pairs will continue to cause waves as will Sandy Liang’s silky versions. Need more convincing? “Your feet will thank you,” says Maguire.

Cinched-Waist Blazers

While oversized blazers have been popular the last few years, as designers focus more on tailoring, the cinched-waist blazer will take on a bigger role. What’s great about this blazer trend is that, because of its heavy ‘80s aesthetic, this silhouette is easily found in vintage and thrift shops. For styling, a pair of trousers or a maxi skirt will do — keep it simple.

A Pop of Red

While red can seem intense, when styled right, it can serve as a neutral. For these fall and winter seasons, designers bet big on the color, making it the season’s must-have hue. From scarlet on-the-go dresses to head-to-toe red ensembles, this shade is worth the investment ahead of the colder months. “From cherry reds to burgundy, you need wearable red staples in your wardrobe,” says Maguire.

Peplum Top

This 2010s classic is making a comeback in a more elevated fashion. Instead of frilly, ruffled versions of the era, designers like Proenza Schouler and Collina Strada have proposed the minimalist, elongated peplum that’s more a voluminous top than a skater dress of years past.

Mary Janes Are The Shoe Style Of 2023. Here Are 25 Of The Best

Let’s hear it for the humble Mary Jane — dare we say, the most versatile shoe style out there? Are you a chunky platform girlie or do you prefer something soft, sleek and feminine? Do you like to rise to stacked heights or stand comfortably in a ballet pump style? Either way, you’re covered. She’s preppy, she’s Parisian, she’s even kinda punk when styled a certain way. From '60s mods to '90s grunge, indie sleaze to the recent stompy Nodaleto craze, it's no wonder the trend comes around so often.

In 2023 there’s no one way to step into this strappy trend, so we’ve rounded up the very best Mary Janes out there. Unsurprisingly for a trend so deeply rooted in Parisian style and closely related to the ballet flat, French brands Rouje, Repetto, Carel, and Jonak are our go-tos for classic patent iterations in graphic shades of black, white, and red. But the US is giving the French a run for their money with some of the most exciting and unique Mary Janes we’ve found. Look to Charles & Keith for Bratz-style mega-platforms, Anthropologie for cherry red Mary Jane pumps, and Reformation for metallics and diamanté buckles.
