How to Style Boyfriend Jeans

Do you have boyfriend jeans? I have desperately been searching for over a year. None of them had perfectly fit, and you just can't get boyfriend jeans that don't fit right. They'll either look way too big or just like loose holey jeans that you need to retire. Neither look is preferred. But lo and behold, I found the perfect boyfriend jean...FINALLY!

Aren't we just a world of opposites? We have the options between skinnies and boyfriend jeans. I know which pair I'm picking when I'm feeling on my larger side :)


So how should they fit? 


Boyfriend jeans should fit loosely around your frame but not swallow you. They are typically straight legs that are cuffed. I like the added wear and tear of rips at the thighs or holes in the knees. Boyfriend jeans should be slightly roughed up. Your boyfriend doesn't wear pristine jeans does he? Might as well go all in.

When boyfriend jeans are too loose, sophistication is lost and it quickly becomes a disheveled look, in a negative way. It's important to properly balance the look. You walk a fine line between looking cute and feminine or looking like ... well, your boyfriend. I have seen some looks that have simply been stunning or simply horrid. Go with the prior.

Adding a piece of glitzy statement jewelry is a great option to add to the look and feminize it. Love a simple low heel pump with this look too.

    1. Yay, thanks Mia! I have definitely already worn them too many times :) Ha. But when something works, it's just too tempting.
