Steal Their Style: 10 K-Pop Idols Nailing the Baggy Jeans Look
Once a staple of the rebellious ’90s, baggy jeans are now making a comeback, taking over the fashion world and headlining K-pop visuals. Here are some of the popular K-pop idols who are showing us exactly how to rock this loose and effortless fashion style.
1. BLACKPINK’s Rosé
Rosé of BLACKPINK shows us how it’s done with her chic and sporty style. She pairs high-waisted, wide-leg, blue baggy jeans with a simple black crop top and a track jacket. To complete her look, she adds a low bun and a classic baguette bag, proving that comfort can still be incredibly fashionable.
2. Stray Kids’ Hyunjin
Hyunjin from Stray Kids takes a moodier approach with his all-black denim look. He layers a black denim jacket over a scoop neck shirt and finishes the outfit with a pair of dark, super baggy jeans. He keeps the accessories minimal with a snapback hat and a small sling bag for a cool, understated vibe.
3. TWICE’s Jihyo
Jihyo from TWICE proves that baggy jeans can be effortlessly chic, even for a casual day. She combines washed grey baggy jeans with a white sleeveless blouse and some chunky sneakers. With her hair down, she adds a touch of summer brightness to her relaxed yet stylish outfit.
4. ALLDAY PROJECT
BLACKLABEL’s new group, ALLDAY PROJECT, brings a ton of energy to the trend. All of the members (Annie, Tarzzan, Bailey, Woochan, and Youngseo) rock their own version of baggy pants. One of the members, Tarzzan, even wears low-slung baggy pants, also known as saggy pants, with his underwear showing. This style has a brief story. According to reports, hip hop artists in the 90s adapted this look from the US prison system, where belts are not allowed due to the risks of being used for harmful acts. The revival of this style has brought pros and cons.
5. IVE’s Jang Won Young
Jang Won Young from IVE proves you don’t have to give up your feminine style to wear baggy jeans. Known for her girly and elegant dresses, the Tommy Hilfiger ambassador looks just as stunning in a mid-blue baggy jeans outfit. She pairs them with a white ruffle crop top and an ivory long-sleeve blouse for a soft and beautiful look.
6. BTS’s Jimin
Jimin from BTS was discharged from the military last June. He gave a glimpse of his relaxed, off-duty style that had everyone saying he’s aging backward. Jimin was spotted on the streets of LA in a baseball cap, a long sweater over a basketball jersey, and baggy pants. Paired with glasses and sandals, he looked like he was truly enjoying a moment away from the spotlight.
7. BLACKPINK Jennie
While in Paris, the fashion icon Jennie of BLACKPINK showed off her classic, chic look. She styled her dark, baggy jeans with a white tee and an aesthetic bolero. In a clever move, she used a scarf as a belt for a pop of detail, completing the outfit with a small sling bag and black sneakers.
8. BTS’s J-hope
When it comes to energy, J-hope is the master. From the concept of his new solo track “Sweet Dreams” to his latest performance at Lollapalooza in Berlin, J-hope sports baggy jeans. For his performance with PSY at the Summer Swag festival, he wore ragged blue baggy jeans with a cool leopard print belt. He completed his powerful stage look with a white sleeveless shirt, a striped shirt, glasses, and armbands, showing off his killing charm.
9. TWICE’s MOMO
MOMO from TWICE is another K-pop idol with style that can inspire you. She gives us a masterclass in casual, stylish dressing. In her latest vacation, she paired a brown crop polo shirt with baggy jeans, complemented by a brown belt that added a touch of casual chic to her style. With her white sneakers, glasses, and a hobo bag, her short bob hair was the perfect final touch to her chic look.
10. NCT U
Finally, we have to talk about NCT U. They didn’t just wear the trend; they sang an anthem for it with their track, “Baggy Jeans,” from their fourth full-length album, “Golden Age.” The song is all about freedom, confidence, and walking with swag. In the clip, the members showcase all kinds of baggy jeans from dark colors to dirty, ragged blue ones, giving you endless inspiration for your own style.
