In Defense of the Ultra Baggy Pant



Between the return of the ballet flat and the perhaps overhyped indie sleaze revival, a skinny jeans resurgence looms, albeit threateningly, on the horizon waiting for someone like Bella Hadid to experiment with a pair. But until then, I will relish in the absence of seam impression marks along my legs. While I have mainly relied on straight-leg and bootcut denim in the aftermath of my 10-year-long skinny jean phase, ultra baggy pants have recently dominated my Instagram feed. (I've been inspired to pick up vintage men’s Levi’s from my local thrift store.) As is the case with most items in my wardrobe, a healthy dose of styling inspiration resolved my hesitancy around baggy jeans' potential for frumpiness. Here, I’ve gathered some of those references so you too can experience the liberation and comfort of a loose pant before the “jegging” reenters our lexicon.


Grey Trousers + Long Wool Coat + Big Scarf


This look is for the My Year of Rest and Relaxation girlies. Just kidding, though the Uggs and general rolled-out-of-bed-looking-like-a-model-for-the-Row vibe is not far from what I envisioned of the narrator at the novel’s beginning. This look is relaxed, comfortable, and luxurious—perfect for an early morning dog walk (or grabbing two coffees from your corner bodega).

High-Waisted Wide-Leg Trousers


Crew Neck Jumper


Single-Breasted Virgin-Wool Coat


Fringed Checked Knitted Scarf


Ankle-Length Boots




Olive Cargo Pants + White Tee + Burgundy Jacket


This combination is excellent because it is super laidback and casual, but way cooler than my usual jeans and t-shirt running-around-outfit. And the olive, burgundy, and orange color palette is perfect for the onset of fall.

Short Burgundy Leather Jacket


High-Waist Cargo Pants


Crew Neck Short-sleeved T-shirt


White Chunky Twisted Pearl & Crystal Necklace


Black & Orange Eddie Kyu Sunglasses


Women's L002 Leather Sneakers



Jeans + Striped Sweater + Sneakers


Another example of the way color and texture can make casual dressing a fun sartorial opportunity, knits, suede, and corduroy are great to experiment with as the weather gets colder.

Jets Stripe-Print Knit Jumper


Wide-Leg Belted Corduroy Trousers


Gazelle Shoes


Mixed Link Necklace


Almost Hinged Hoop Earrings




Blazer + Leather Vest + Jeans


This outfit makes a strong case for layering a vest over a blazer—a choice I have never in my life seen before. If you are worried about getting lost in all of the fabric, wear a healed boot under the jeans to add a bit of height.

  1. "Skill stop" buttons have been added to some slot machines by Zacharias Anthony in the early 1970s. These enabled the player to stop every reel, allowing a level of "ability" in order to satisfy the New Jersey gaming laws of the day which required that gamers have been capable of to} control 온라인 카지노 the sport in some way. The authentic conversion was utilized to approximately 50 late-model Bally slot machines. Because the typical machine stopped the reels mechanically in lower than 10 seconds, weights have been added to the mechanical timers to prolong the automatic stopping of the reels.
