Sneakers + Baggy Jeans

1. White Sneakers

White sneakers with baggy jeans pair effortlessly. You can wear them with ankle socks to look more sporty, especially if you choose short tube socks.

Add a crew neck t-shirt or hoodie for a casual look, or dress up your jeans with a relaxed blazer.

2. Chunky Sneakers

From futuristic-looking to quirky, chunky sneakers are a big trend right now. Chunky sneakers compliment a bulkier jean like baggy styles.

Add them to a light-wash loose jeans, a fitted tee or cropped top for a summery look.

3. Dad Sneakers

80s Suburban dad sneakers, previously deemed ugly, are now an off-duty fashion statement, especially New Balance 990s or 930s. Have fun with colorful chunky sneakers or staple neutrals in grey and beige.

4. Platform Sneakers

Platform sneakers will give your height a boost and make your legs long. And if you're loose jeans are too long, it helps shorter them!

Take the look from casual to business ‘casual' with darker straight leg baggy jeans, a fitted blouse & blazer.

Sandals + Baggy Jeans

5. Flatform Sandals

Flatform sandals are fun, funky and complement a wider leg such as loose jeans. They can even give a retro feel with the right pair!

Espadrilles-style flatform sandals with high waisted baggy jeans and a floral blouse make a feminine outfit, while a black 90s style pair will give off a minimalist vibe.

6. Sporty Slides

One of the most effortless ways to wear baggy jeans is with sporty slides. Sporty slides are very comfortable and are cool even if you’re not coming from the gym. Wear them with jeans of any length and wash. 

7. Minimal Slides

If you're stuck on choosing which shoes to wear with baggy jeans, then minimal slides are the perfect summer staple, whether flat or with a block heel. 

For a relaxed and laid-back look, go for the flat slides, baggy jeans and any classy top in your closet. Throw on a cool-toned blazer for a more polished look. 

Heeled sandals are also great if you want a more elegant outfit. Try strappy heels with baggy jeans, a bodysuit and add a loose jacket for a night out.

8. Birkenstocks

For maximum cozy, laid-back vibes, add a pair of Birkenstocks with your loose jeans. Grab a pair of patent metallic Big Buckle Birks or opt for a casual cool suede neutral.

There are so many ways to elevate Birkenstock outfits with baggy jeans, by choosing a crisp top and stylish trench!

Heels + Baggy Jeans

9. Pumps

Pumps can be easily worn with any outfit including baggy jeans. Slingback pumps are a current trending pump that all the fashionistas are wearing, including the jeans models at Reformation!

Make sure the heel pops out at least 1 inch or you risk stepping on the hem.

10. Kitten Heels

Low pumps are a great choice for those who prefer not to mess with high heels or stilettos. They can be paired with your favorite baggy jeans, a crisp blouse, and a blazer for a classy look. Play around with baggy jeans that are tapered or wider-legged with kitten heels.

11. Block Heels

Block heels are quickly replacing stilettos as they are easier to walk in. They have always been great with baggy jeans as the more substantial heel compliments the heavier look of the jeans. As a clumsy person I prefer these types of heels with my baggy jeans!

12. Loafers

You can’t go wrong with loafers and baggy jeans. Classic loafers are good to make your baggy jeans look preppy when paired with a crisp shirt or flowy blouse topped with a blazer. 

For a funkier look, choose a chunky lug-sole loafer pair with either a tight top and loose cardigan, or a tucked-in baggy sweater. Choose an ankle pair or long length baggy jeans. 

Loafers with loose jeans can even be office-appropriate, with darker wash or black jeans, finished off with a tight tee and well-cut boyfriend blazer and cinched belt.

13. Clogs

Clogs are back! There are different clogs such as wooden classics, sandals clog, Birkenstock clogs, and even Crocs. These are all great shoes for baggy jeans for comfy and laid-back looks.

Classic clogs with baggy jeans can be chic, paired with a loose tee and textured knit sweater. I love black or brown classic wooden clogs, but Birkenstock's Boston Clogs continue to trend into 2024!

Wear them with floor-length baggy jeans and let them cascade over the front of the shoe. See my post about how to wear clogs post for all the best jeans & clothing combinations!

14. Crocs

Never thought I’d be chatting about how to style Crocs, but here we are! Many pants outfits, sweatsuits and even baggy jeans have been a trendy pairing. 

And when paired with loose, longer jeans a cute hoodie and a simple leather crossbody bag, it is a look many younger and older ladies have been embracing!

Boots + Baggy Jeans

15. Combat Boots

Combat boots make one an edgy loose jeans and boots pairings and a combination I wear often with a graphic tee and a leather jacket! If you prefer a more minimal look, wear classic black or lug sole combat boots like Doc Martens.

You can have fun contrasting black baggy jeans with a patent white combat boot.
