Put aside the '90s straight-leg jeans—New York's fashion favorites are now opting for these comfortable jeans instead.

      Straight-leg jeans might be a staple in New Yorkers' closets, but they’re certainly not the only style making waves right now. In fact, the city's fashion crowd appears to be embracing a more relaxed fit—quite literally. Recently, I've noticed a resurgence of another vintage denim style: ultra-baggy jeans. Lily Allen was the first to bring this trend to my attention when she sported a wide-leg pair in the city this September. She balanced the oversized look with a fitted tank top, which was a smart choice to counteract the volume, then added a lightweight cardigan and completed the outfit with chunky white sneakers.

      Soon after, Solange Knowles showcased her interpretation by pairing an indigo version with a minimalist top. The sleek silhouette on top drew attention to the jeans while preventing her outfit from being overwhelmed by the fabric. Additionally, the dark wash of the indigo denim lent a more polished, evening-appropriate vibe to the casual shape. The appealing aspect of this nostalgic style lies in its inherent comfort and relaxed spirit, making it feel right at home on the streets of New York. However, don’t assume that baggy jeans are limited to casual outings. As Allen illustrated, they can effortlessly fit into a daily outfit, while Knowles provided a guide on how to transition them for evening wear.

      Motivated by the styling of New York’s trendsetters, I've curated a selection of the most stylish baggy jeans available now.
