I Already Know the Unofficial Uniform for Spring—Details Ahead

For spring, there’s no doubt that baggy pants will be one of the biggest trends that define the season. A more tailored approach to comfort dressing, they were all over the S/S 21 runways and we’re already seeing them emerge as a core wardrobe staple among celebs and the fashion set, who are favoring styles like slouchy trousers, relaxed cargo pants, and loose jeans.

If you’re ready to try them out, there’s an easy formula to try out: baggy pants in whichever style speaks to you and a midriff-baring crop top. Then, throw in a trendy accessory of your choice, whether it’s clogs or a bubblegum pink bag. It’s really as simple as that. I can guarantee that it will emerge as the unofficial uniform for spring—such a cool way to marry two of the standout trends of the season: upsized comfort clothing and skin-baring pieces. Ahead, some baggy jeans outfit inspiration to adopt and put your personal spin on.

On the runway:

That's right, baggy pants were the trend that absolutely swept the S/S 21 collections. Styles ranged from cargos at Louis Vuitton to bubblegum pink denim at Chanel to ripped denim at Etro. The one common theme? All of the designers paired the relaxed pants with crop tops.
