Fashion People Wear This Anti-Skinny-Jeans Trend With These 6 Basics
In reference to denim categories, skinny jeans basically fall into the "classics” section. They’re no-fail and still a go-to for many fashion people. That said, in terms of other trending denim silhouettes, the relaxed style (skewing wide-leg) is the cut du jour for many. In fact, we recently shared the shoe trends style setters are wearing with this anti-skinny-jeans trend. And next up, we thought we’d highlight the basics that are front-runners paired with relaxed jeans.
Given that this denim trend essentially falls into that elevated-basics category, so many basics can team flawlessly with them. But there are a few elevated styles that look particularly chic with wide-leg denim.
Keep scrolling to check out the best trend-forward basics to wear with relaxed jeans to create effortless looks.
Leather Jacket
A leather jacket—especially one that's distressed—makes any outfit all the cooler. This look is particularly noteworthy as well with the layered denim jacket with the baggy jeans.
Oversize Half-Zip Sweater
Oversize knits reign supreme in the elevated-basics category. Consider a chic half-zip style with the anti-skinny-jeans trend.
Longline Coat
A longline coat brings instant polish to any look, including this A+ ensemble with the sweatshirt and jeans.
Button-Down Shirt + Polished Jacket
A tailored jacket (like one in tweed) is trend-forward but could fall in that basics category because it's very versatile. Team one with another It staple—a button-down shirt—and you have yourself a standout look.
Relaxed Blazer
Rounding out the list is one of the key basics fashion people swear by: a relaxed blazer. This trusty staple works with so many outfits, including a cool denim look.
