This Summer Denim Trend Is the Opposite of Skinny Jeans, and I'm Seeing It Everywhere
With so many styling possibilities, I can see why drawstring jeans are so popular.
When you think of the opposite silhouette of skinny jeans, baggy jeans come to mind. Yes? Thought so. But it's actually baggy jeans 2.0 that I'm referring to here—i.e., baggy drawstring jeans.
This style started increasing in popularity last year and continues to rise as a forward and comfortable denim style with that adjustable waist and relaxed, non-rigid nature. Margot Robbie recently wore the silhouette to the airport, and the fashion crowd is embracing it this season.
I've also noticed more and more brands and designers releasing their interpretations of drawstring jeans in a range of washes. Standout silhouettes from labels like Citizens of Humanity reign supreme, and so do styles from Zara and Aligne.
