Deciding which baggy jeans will fit you best can be a bit daunting, so we've taken the guess work out of the equation and rounded up our favorite wide-leg jeans to wear this fall. Our top pick overall is the Everlane OG Baggy Jean, which have a trend-forward roomy fit and leg-elongating high waist. Another standout is a pair are the Spanx Seamed Front Wide Leg Jeans, which you can simply pull on and forget about the discomfort of buttons and zippers.

If your first priority is comfort, though, you should check out Rag & Bone's Miramar collection. These "jeans" are jeans in name only: they're actually made from a French terry cloth material that only looks like denim."The Rag & Bone sweatpants jeans are truly as soft as sweats. They look uncannily real, and wearing them feels like sitting on a secret no one else has to know," says associate style editor Gabrielle Chase in our sweatpants jeans review

The good thing about having a team of style editors on opposite sides of the height spectrum is that we've found the best jeans for both petite and tall sizes. "Folks under 5'1" rejoice, because not only do these jeans come in a short length, they also come in an extra short inseam. I have it in extra short and it's perfect on me," says style editor Samantha Crozier.

AG Jeans is another favorite of Gabrielle's, because in the case of the Kora Jean, the price actually reflects the quality. "They're made with the softest denim I've tried, and it drapes perfectly with a perfect puddle around the ankles (a rare find for someone with long legs). They're also lightweight, so they're great for transitional weather."
