Olivia Colman rocks the giant jeans (and, yes, you can too)
Every season, the luxury runways set the denim tone for the year ahead. From the skinny jean trend of yore to a nod to current barrel-leg styles, now… it’s all about the giantjean!
Celebrities such as Olivia Colman and Jennifer Lopez have been spotted rocking these dramatic, oversized denim for everything from everyday errands to industry events (such as the Deadline 2025 Sundance Film Festival Studio). It’s clear that the giant jean is having its moment. Is bigger really better? We think so.
Olivia, with her chic pixie cut, glowing skin and cosy knit from Swedish brand Babaà, effortlessly nails the laid-back luxury look we’re all yearning to replicate. She channels that effortless, street-style vibe, proving once again that she’s the ultimate comfort-meets-chic style icon.
Other celebrities opting for the giant lean look include none other than J Lo, who’s made the oversized denim her go-to out-and-about outfit, pairing them with a cosy teddy coat and platform Uggs.
As a fan of oversized everything, I can’t help but covet J-Lo and Olivia’s current aesthetic. The giant jean acts as an oversized staple that will anchor your outfit (and endless styling combinations) towards a fashion-forward silhouette – no bodycon, no tight waistlines, visible panty lines or clinging fabrics here! Just easy, relaxed shapes.
It reminds me of what my mum used to tell me as a curvy teenage girl: “Dress for your figure – oversized will just make you look boxy.” Well, times have changed. Today, a quick search for “dressing for the female gaze” on TikTok reveals an array of inspiration. Women are embracing cozy yet oversized combos, granny trainers and playful accessories – dressing for themselves, with comfort as key.
If, like us and J Lo, you’re totally on board with the giant jean trend, channel your inner Olivia Colman and shop the best high-street baggy options you can snap up right now.
Happy shopping!
