What testers say: “I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on these Levi’s baggy jeans. They’re a beautiful color, they’re comfortable, and I’m so glad that we’re finally back to straight or wide leg pants.

These women’s jeans are effortlessly cool with their ultra-relaxed shape that sits low on the hips. They’re cut with a shorter inseam and crafted in non-stretch organic cotton with a subtle yet flattering drape. They come in two colorways, both of which Rihanna wears. Make sure to let these jeans be the focal point of your outfit, and opt for a clean bodysuit or tank top and a heeled sandal that isn’t over-the-top. 

What reviewers say: “Often time I find that baggy jeans just make me look large, but these are baggy and still look put together and cute!”

Anyone who’s been on a quest for new baggy jeans has probably encountered Reformation in their research. The brand is best known for its commitment to minimizing environmental waste: Each pair of jeans is made using one third the normal amount of water and cotton, and Reformation eliminates the use of harmful chemicals in the finishing process. The Wilder silhouette is a full-length jean that features a slim fit throughout the hips and thighs and a wide leg opening. It’s made of rigid denim, but if you size up, it’ll fit just right without too much stretch.

Editor testing and review notes: “When I saw these wide-leg baggy jeans in the Reformation store, I knew I needed to have them. The cotton blend felt buttery soft, the subtle contrast stitching paired with the relaxed leg oozed a cool vintage appeal, and the off-white hue felt unique — different than my typical go-to white jeans. Since the hem was a bit too long for my 5-foot frame, I had to get them tailored; however, it was worth it. If you want more of a relaxed fit, make sure to size up.”

What testers say: “I’m 5’6″ with an athletic body type (read: quads) and the size 28 fits me perfectly! They look really high quality and lovely in person. The one thing to note is I very much needed to get these hemmed. Even with platform boots they bunch at the bottom for my height.”
