This Pretty Accessory Trend Is How Fashion People Are Making Baggy Jeans Look More 2025

Believe it or not, baggy jeans are transitioning into a summer trend this year, even though there’s some fatigue about them among fashion people. But It-girls like actress Whitney Peak are making them fresh again in 2025 by adding a cool take on the enduring denim trend. While walking around in NYC this week with her cool girlfriends attending the Through Her Lens: Tribeca CHANEL Women’s Filmmaker Program luncheon, we spotted her in a classic Chanel CC chain belt layered over her loose jeans.

We saw the chain belt trend on the S/S 25 runways of Chanel, Loewe, and Chloé, layered over luxurious suiting, coats, and dresses, and on Simone Rocha’s F/W 25 runway, we saw them styled over whimsical outfits. At Chanel, in particular, chain belts have been a trademark piece since the 1980s. But Peak took the trend off the runway and made it her own. Leather belts are still an essential accessory to add to a look, but for a summer-friendly, elevated touch, a chain belt is the je ne sais quoi to try this season. It’s pretty, but in a modern and elegant way. Lightweight baggy jeans are the go-to in this summer heat, and the best way to add interest to an outfit that includes them is with a chain belt. Peak clearly caught onto this trend and has inspired me to try it out too.
