Baggy, wide-leg, boot-cut, high-waisted, flared - retro-style jeans are giving those skinny ones a run for their money. Sure, we love how flattering the skinny silhouette of this denim looks, but nothing beats the effortlessly cool fit of loose denim. Besides, these are way too comfortable and there are no two ways about it. So, ditch those skin-hugging denim and go ham on these eight 90s-inspired beauties.

Denim Blue Waist Tie Culottes - 109°F

Picture this - you're bang in the middle of summers, your best friend's in town and you can only meet them for lunch. Wearing skinny jeans would definitely be criminal in such cases.

Another pick from ISU's fab denim collection, this mid-rise, cropped length pair of jeans comes in a slightly frayed edge. They really are the best wide-leg denims for someone's whose closet is full of straight and skinny denims.

Mom High Ankle Jeans - H&M
H&M's extra high-waisted and comfortably loose Mom Jeans are my absolute favourite. Heavily inspired by 80s high rise trend, these are just perfect to wear with oversized tees, hoodies and a pair of solid kicks (Nike Air Force, perhaps?).
Price: INR 1,999
Balloon Leg Jeans - Levi's
Talking of 80s fashion trends making a sweet comeback, Levi's Balloon Leg jeans fit like a dream. Perfectly structured around the waist and tapered towards the bottom, these are available in sizes 25 through 32. These are slightly expensive as compared to the others mentioned on this list, however, given the quality, we honestly don't mind shelling this much.
Price: INR 3,599
90s Full-Length Jeans - Zara
This reminds of that episode of Friends where Monica was trying to *ahem* hit on Joey. You'd think we were distracted by Joey's "how you doin'?", when on the contrary we couldn't get out eyes off of Monica's high-waisted, lightly ripped denims. This one from Zara reminds me of exactly that. It has a perfect ripped front with slightly frayed hems. What's not to love here?
