We’ve scoured the internet to find you the best wide leg jeans for 2021 so you can look like a modern Rachel, Monica or Phoebe and live your best 90s life.
Neuw | Sade Baggy Jeans
Price: $175.95
Made from organic cotton and available in four shades, these jeans are the ultimate 90s throwback. Australian/Swedish brand Neuw is all about music culture, so if the Spice Girls wore denim, it probably would have looked like these. They also feature the signature Neuw fob ring on the belt loop—a trademark of all Neuw jeans as a homage to the founder’s grandfather. How wholesome is that?
