Skinny jeans had their time, but this fall belongs to baggy denim. And not just any baggy jeans—the American Eagle x Sydney Sweeney Baggy Collection is redefining what it means to wear denim in 2025.
Why Baggy Is Back
Fashion always cycles, but this comeback is more than Y2K nostalgia. Post-pandemic style has shifted toward comfort, mobility, and ease. In professional life, we’re trading stiffness for structure—and yes, that includes jeans.
My Try-On Experience (and Experiment with Nano Banana!)

I tested the High-Rise Baggy Wide Leg from the Sydney Sweeney collection, and here’s what stood out:
- Baggy yet tapered: The silhouette flatters without swallowing your shape.
- Sit-friendly: Crossing my legs or working at my desk, they stayed comfortable and soft.
- Not stiff denim: They feel more like relaxed trousers than jeans.
I also tried the Low-Rise Baggy—a bolder cut, but surprisingly wearable with a blazer or oversized button-down.
Also – I DID use Nano Bana. In case you were curious, here is the edit.

From Skinny to Wide: A Style Shift
The rise of baggy denim signals a deeper shift: professionalism isn’t about squeezing into form-fitting silhouettes anymore. It’s about showing up with presence and comfort. Pair wide-leg denim with sharp tailoring, and you’ll look—and feel—like the future of workwear.
