BOYFRIENDS'
The
key to a great boyfriend jean is trying on as many as you can until you find
the style you like. Before "THE BOYFRIEND JEAN" came about, the
closest thing we had to them was a straight leg jean. If you find that when you
try on boy jeans in the store, they are too slouchy between the legs, look for
a nice straight leg jean and just roll up the bottoms. Boy jeans really are
straight leg jeans. Look at #8 and #6! The slouch starts at the knee, but they
still look very boyfriend. A
low waist will also really give you that boy look.
On
the other end of the spectrum, some people like 'the slouchier the better.' If
this is you, #1, #2, #4, are the girls for you. #4, Julie, from SincerelyJules.com,
is THE QUEEN of the boy jean. Personally, I like to have both. I like to have a
more fitted type of straight leg boy jean and also the kind of jean that looks
like I borrowed them from a boyfriend. ;)
SUMMING
IT UP: Whichever style you
go with, go all the way. If
you go total boyfriend, don't try to look too fancy. You want your baggy jeans
to look effortless. If you go with a slightly more fitted in the hips and
between legs jean, you can pretty much pair with them whatever you want and
look amazing! :)
If you are not sure how to wear
them? #1, #3, #4, #5
These looks are so simple and
easy. Throw on a slouchy T and some sandals, tennies, or boots.
If you are looking for something
spicy? #2, #6
A pair of modern high heels
always look good with boy jeans. BUT, I also love a really strappy heel that
goes up your ankle a little bit. Those look great too.
If you are looking for something
preppy? #7, #8
A belt is always a great way to
add some prep to an outfit. Especially with a bold stripe and neutral pallet.
This also kind of dresses it up a little bit so that it does not look as
slouchy.
If your afraid to loose your
figure?
Sometimes not having a girlish
figure in boy jeans looks cool but if you do not want to sacrifice that, you
can do 2 things I know will help. 1) Go for a darker wash with no washed out
spots. This will make you look streamline and ultimately thinner. 2) Go for a
tapered boy jean. Find a boy jean with a skinnier ankle so you can keep a
girlish silhouette.
Here are some of my favorite
jeans on the market right now! A
LOT OF THEM ARE ON SALE THIS WEEKEND FOR MEMORIAL DAY!!!!! I try to always show you
reasonably priced things but do not be afraid to splurge a little bit on a well
made, well fitted pair of jeans. It is never money wasted.
