Stylish friends Maggie Chan and Germaine Fraser show you how to slay the loose-fit jeans trend

American fashion designer Brandon Maxwell and Matthew Williams of Givenchy showed that wide-legged and relaxed silhouettes can be cool and chic at the same time.

We put these stylish women to the test by asking them to assemble an outfit for each other from Pre-Fall 2023’s biggest trends.

Your thoughts about this trend?

Maggie (M): I personally love it. I’m such a jeans person and baggy jeans are just the comfiest. I would definitely wear it with a bodysuit, cropped top or a baggy tee! 

Germaine (G): I’m a huge fan of wide-legged jeans – it’s a perennial favourite in my wardrobe and something I reach for on a weekly basis.

Why did you choose this outfit for each other?

M: It was important to me that I took in consideration Germaine’s personal style, which is more feminine, so I made sure I chose items like a pair of heels and a cute tube top as it would be something she would definitely wear any given day. 

I also chose a pair of jeans that was not too baggy – this pair of Levi’s wide-legged straight cut style suited her style more. The knitted strapless top was also definitely her vibe but I threw in the denim jacket just to give her a more edgy look.

G: I wanted a tighter silhouette on top to balance out the bagginess of the jeans. This Kenzo vest fitted the bill and kept things interesting with the logo print and wrap-around straps. I know Maggie loves accessorising so I layered a couple of chunky necklaces to give the look a bit more edge.

In your opinion, is this a wearable, everyday look?

M: It’s absolutely wearable. I would wear it all the time. 

G: Extremely. If you bump into me on the streets there’s a good chance I’d be wearing it. 

Do you like how you were styled?

M: Yes. I think she got it right with the Kenzo vest and lace-up boots as it’s something I would normally wear. 

G: Loved the denim on denim. It’s a look that’s trending this season so this is definitely on point! I would’ve changed the knit tube top to a bralette to suit the hot weather we’re currently experiencing but besides that, I’m loving it!

STYLE TIP: Oversized denim jeans paired with an oversized denim top instantly gives fashion- insider cred
