by Indya Brown

In the running tally of ubiquitous trends this year, you might as well place baggy denim at the very top. While three-piece suits and cargo pants certainly have their respective spots on the list of most talked-about trends of 2023, baggy denim arguably trumped them all.

When it's a staple this repeated, that's usually a good clue it's at least worth trying for yourself.

Whether you're a faithful adherent of all things baggy or simply in the mood to try out an insider favorite, consider this your guide to mastering the trend. From outfits made up of the basics to more experimental takes, I've assembled seven different ways to showcase fashion's most beloved staple of 2023. Keep scrolling to see them all.
