These two get grouped together often, but the leg opening is the detail that actually separates them.

Loose Fit

Roomy through the seat and thigh with a soft drape, but the leg opening stays moderate — it doesn't flare or pool dramatically at the ankle.

Baggy Fit

Takes the same starting point and widens the leg opening significantly, designed to sit over sneakers rather than break cleanly at the shoe.

Which to Choose

Loose fit is the better everyday choice if you want comfort without a strong style statement. Baggy fit is the one to reach for when the silhouette itself is part of the look you're going for.
