The 2023 Trend Every Fashion Person Is Ditching Their Jeans For

Before you come for me, hear me out: Jeans are definitely the backbone of my wardrobe most of the time, but lately, I've been putting them on hold for an item that's just as versatile, low-key, and cool as my beloved denim but is much fresher and more current, in my humble opinion. The trend in question? Baggy pants.

Whether it's the relaxed-fit suiting trousers that have become our staples or newer styles like cargos, all signs point to the reign of the baggy-pants trend—even among the Instagram crowd most devoted to classic style. (Looking at you, French women.) Much to my surprise, fashion people are really selling me on this once-controversial trend and solidifying my decision to put my denim on hold this winter.

Ahead, scroll to shop the baggy pants I'm eyeing if you're in the mood to freshen up your wardrobe as well.

Style Notes: Go up a size or two in a style of trousers you already love.

I can't stop thinking about these pants.

For $50, you, too, can look like an It girl with this pair of baggy trousers.

Style Notes: Look for wide-leg trousers that fit a little lower on the hips—that's the 2023 vibe.

Style Notes: If you're feeling gutsy, pair yours with a crop top and belt à la Miu Miu's spring 2023 runway.

I'll take the full look, please and thank you.

Style Notes: I'm all about pants that sit right on the hips, and this simple outfit is perfection.

I'll be wearing these with my sweaters to bring them into the fall. 

COS is my go-to source for cool suiting separates.

Style Notes: Cargo and utility pants look especially cool in a baggier fit.

Initially, parachute pants scared me, but now, I'm warming up to the idea. I'd style these with retro sneakers and a baby tee.

Style Notes: Long-sleeve baby tees and statement bags are two more fall trends that happen to pair flawlessly with baggy pants.

A "buy now, wear forever" kind of piece.

Style Notes: Fashion people are giving the pants an elevated feel with sleek heels and leather jackets.

Style Notes: When in doubt, keep it simple with tried-and-true basics like a cardigan and ankle boots.

These low-rise pants are incredibly dreamy.

If it's menswear inspired, you know it has to be good.
