His and Hers

Don't panic, having a boyfriend is not required in order to wear these jeans. But the term "boyfriend jeans" does refer to the over-sized, slouchy nature of men's jeans. We’re talking denim that is somewhat fitted in the hip and roomier through the leg, often worn and torn.

The key to working this style is choosing a pair that fits your body - not actually wearing your boyfriend's jeans.

Be sure to pick a pair that is straight leg and don't forget to roll them up. Vintage washes like that of the much sought after 7 for All Mankind Josefina Jean look great with practically everything. A darker wash like Joe's Jeans' Ex-Lover Boyfriend will give you a more streamlined look.

Pair your boyfriend jeans with a tight fitting tee-shirt or perhaps a slim hoodie. You don’t want anything too busy or billowy on the top at the risk of looking sloppy. Even a curve-hugging button up will look good with this jean so long as you can still show off your feminine features.

The best part about this trend is that it can be customized to fit your own personal style, whether you're classic in a crisp white shirt and chic BCBG heels, or the more playful in a basic tank and a chunky Bed:Stu belt.
