Lockdown has taught us to prioritize comfort over everything else, forcing us to choose comfortable, easy silhouettes over form-fitting clothes, even when returning to work.
The show also kicks off with loose clothing – oversized shirts, XXL jackets and big jeans reigned supreme on the Balenciaga, Prada, Valentino, Schiaparelli, Louis Vuitton, Fendi shows.
Fashion influencers have played a major role in popularizing oversized clothing while various fashion brands like Zara and H&M have also made it popular.
Loose-fitting clothes were very popular in the late 90s. Then, over the past 15 years, people have grown to appreciate slim and flattering designed clothes.
But now after covid and changes in fashion and dress style, loose clothing is slowly coming into trend.
Where do baggy clothes come from?
Baggy clothing is mostly related to hip hop due to the way most rappers dress. There are several theories, however, about how loose clothing became a trend. The most common was that it came from members of black gangs in California called Cripps and Blood.
The gang is said to have started wearing oversized clothes after serving time in prison. At the time, prisoners were not allowed to have belts or shoelaces while serving their sentence. It was an attempt to reduce the number of deaths that occurred in prison, where people strangled themselves to avoid serving their time.
Rappers adopted this style of dress because most of them had done some time at some point, or wanted people to believe they had because of their music. California Hispanics at the time were also known for their baggy pleated pants and oversized t-shirts.
Baggy tees have become a popular choice, and we’ve rounded up the weirdest options such as baggy blazers, baggy shirts, and even baggy jeans for that matter. On that note, here are some loose, easy-to-style clothes that you can add to your wishlist right away.
Loose T-shirts
With a looser fit, loose t-shirts can be a much more comfortable option. Free-flowing, they fit loosely around the body and allow ventilation and breezes to pass over your skin – the perfect hot weather option! For many, a baggy t-shirt represents a relaxed and comfortable look worn on casual days.
Loose shorts
Baggy shorts are also called double shorts because they have bike shorts or padded briefs inside. That’s why, although they look carefree on the outside, they are highly functional pedaling pants with comfort to spare on the inside.
baggy jeans
Any men’s jeans that aren’t fitted can be considered baggy, but painter’s jeans and various styles that are slightly too baggy are the most common. Usually a fabric that is somewhat distressed is especially suitable for loose jeans because the fabric bunches and folds around the body.
Baggy jeans, which have slowly become a street style (or slim fit) favourite, are a comfortable clothing option to help you break out of your usual sweatpants rotation. Models like Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber figured out how to wear these baggy jeans for their daytime looks.
Straight-leg, straight-leg, bootleg, asymmetrical and baggy jeans are all big winners, and while low-rise jeans have been threatening to make a comeback for some time now, we’re grateful that mid-rise and high-rise jeans are here to stay for a while. some time. longer.
Loose shirts
Baggy shirts are loose shirts that are usually very comfortable. Loose shirts worn over strong, muscular frames can look great: the t-shirt can fall straight off the wider shoulders and contribute to a really great look. Baggy t-shirts are the perfect choice for some active hobbies like skateboarding, for example.
