Baby tees will never go out of style in my book. I like this trend best with baggy jeans. This dress is the best, comfortable, cool dress for girls. It’s effortless, chic and just a little bit deliberately, very model-off-duty. I, in particular, have always wanted to give off that vibe. This outfit below shows how good you can look in such simple outfits. Since the base of your outfit is fairly simple, wear something like this outfit below with a satin scarf or bandana, a pair of pointed shoes, and an over-the-shoulder bag. It gives a very chic 90s feel. If you want to dress it up more, simply add a leather moto or cinch-waist jacket.

striped lightweight sweater
I love a light sweater during spring, and it seems other fashionistas will agree. When I’m stuck on how to style a pair of baggy jeans, I almost always turn to a light sweater. This is especially the season for light striped sweaters. They add a fun element to any outfit, especially with different color combinations. The striped sweater can be easily styled with baggy jeans, as seen below. If you’re someone who likes to keep her look casual like me, just wear a pair of pointed-toe, suede shoes. If you’re trying to dress up on a cold day, wear a leather jacket over your light sweater and a button-down underneath for a chic and intentional look.

shirred shirts
The tucked-in shirt trend had a major moment last summer, and I’m happy to say it’s back. It’s the perfect top to contrast with a pair of casual, baggy jeans. IMHO, shirred tops always dress up an outfit. Even if it’s just a T-shirt or simple sleeveless top, the added texture gives an outfit the extra fuss that you might need for a night out. This is an easy top to style with any pair of bottoms, but it looks especially chic with a pair of baggy jeans. The scene below is proof of this. If you want to look really cool, amp up your outfit with a pair of sneakers similar to this look. If you want to dress up instead, simply swap out your sneakers for a pair of ballet flats or point-toe pumps.

Flowy Button-Down Shirts
I’m a casual dresser most of the time, so flowy button-downs are my go-to when styling a baggy pair of jeans. This spring and summer, I’m overall prioritizing comfort. Getting ready for the hot weather in NYC can be overwhelming; The lighter the layers, the better. Flowy button-downs give off an effortless vibe that chic dressers always have, and that’s what I’m going for for the rest of the season. Try styling your baggy jeans with a pair of boat shoes Complete your look with suede moccasins, a flowy button-down layer over a tank top or tee, and a woven bag.
If you want to look a little more dressy, wear the same clothes, and switch out your shoes with a pair of high-heeled strappy sandals, and replace your woven bag with a sleek black East West bag.
