Sofia Vergara and I Are Both Fans of This Ridiculously Comfy Gen-Z Denim Trend
Sofia Vergara recently wore baggy jeans, a denim style that Katie Holmes, Rihanna, and Brooke Shields have also worn. An InStyle writer found several similar pairs of baggy jeans from Levi’s, Sidefeel, and more, starting at just $40 on Amazon.
After opening my weather app this morning, I immediately wished I hadn’t. The temperatures in New York City are downright bone-chilling right now, making getting dressed a complicated endeavor. Still, there are a few hero pieces I’ve recently discovered that are sneakily perfect for cold weather outfits.
One of those styles is baggy jeans, which are more functional for winter than you might think. Thanks to their roomy design, they’re ideal for laying over fleece-lined leggings, creating a warm and stylish look. Plus, celebrities can’t get enough of them—Sofia Vergara recently posted in baggy jeans, which she expertly styled with a long trench coat, patterned scarf, and chunky sneakers. Although I was already planning on sporting this denim trend all season, Vergara’s effortless look convinced me I need more loose-fitting jeans in my collection.

One search for baggy jeans on Amazon yields hundreds of results, but I’ve already handpicked the options that immediately caught my eye. For starters, Levi’s, my go-to denim brand, has several pairs on sale. If you favor a low-waisted fit, try the Superlow jeans, which are slim through the hip and thigh with a loose silhouette from the knees down. Alternatively, the brand’s wide-leg 94 style has a more flared design and comes in a variety of washes.
Those who prefer high-waisted silhouettes should consider this raw hem pick, which achieves the perfect balance between fitted and flowy. The pants are slim through the thigh before widening at the knees, creating a leg-lengthening effect. Not to mention, there are several non-blue washes to choose from. This white version is perfect to make the most out of the “winter whites” trend, while the light brown colorway has a vintage-looking, lived-in feel.

As a member of Gen-Z, baggy jeans are obviously my bread and butter. Still, I think even those on the fence can get behind this trend once they realize how easy they are to style. When I go into the office, I’ll often pair my loose pants with a crewneck sweater and platform loafers. For more low-key days, though, I’ll style the jeans with my favorite hoodie, chunky sneakers, and a long trench coat. While I used to think these jeans were on the more “casual” side, I’ve worn this style for practically every occasion under the sun, and can confirm they can be styled in a myriad of ways.
Plus, it’s not only me and Vergara who are fans of this trend—celebs like Katie Holmes, Rihanna, and Brooke Shields are also on board, proving this style’s ageless appeal. Head to Amazon to snag a pair of baggy jeans for yourself, and don’t forget to layer fleece-lined leggings underneath to keep warm.
