11 Baggy Pants And Jeans For A More Comfortable Fit
Sustainable Baggy Pants We Love
Gone are the days of tight fits and suffocating jeans. No more jumping up and down to get trousers on or painfully peeling them off, thank goodness!
Instead, as we transition back into the “real world,” we’re looking for more comfortable, cozy bottoms. That means we’re all about the new baggy trend. These 11 brands below are designing baggy jeans and pants with sustainable materials, ethical and eco-friendly production, and—most of all—the relaxed fits we need right now.
If you’re interested in how we’re styling our own baggy pants this season, check out our fall capsule wardrobe. Then, complete your look with some sustainable streetwear!

Production takes place at a GOTS certified factory in China, which provides fair labor and wages and is powered by solar electricity.

7. Jungmaven
Based In | Los Angeles, CA
Ethics | Ethically made in LA, organic & sustainable materials
Sizes | XS–XL
Price Range | $198
Rather than using traditional cotton or polyester (both of which aren't very sustainable!), Jungmaven turns to natural hemp instead for its unisex apparel. Pieces are hand-sewn and dyed locally in LA, and we're obsessed with Jungmaven's unisex Campy Pant, available in an impressive 15 colors. Finally, a piece you and your partner can share! (Pro Tip: Smaller folks, size down, as it's made with men's sizing in mind!)
