Boy Crazy

When it comes to jeans, we’ve been inundated with skinny styles for several seasons, and while they may be great looking on a size 2, not everybody can pull off the stick-thin look. But finally, a jeans trend has come along that’s comfy, flattering, and totally wearable on anybody. The boyfriend jean and its slouchy fit make it a happy alternative to those restrictive skinnies.

This season we can all wear comfy, cozy jeans without looking like a sloppy mess with the new less baggy boyfriend jeans. The new boyfriend jean is much better than its predecessor. It's slimmer and better looking—the way a new beau should be!

For the desired sexy vibe, boyfriend jeans should be loose, but fitted across the hips and narrow and tapered in the leg. Boyfriends look fabulous with a short, fitted jacket and super-sexy heels or wedges. The more ornate your shoe, the better. I love a boyfriend jean with a high-heeled peep-toe bootie or a wedge. If you choose comfort over looks, pair your pants with ballet flats, gladiator sandals, or even flip flops. Whether you wear pumps or flats the point is to match with the overall image.

Because these pants look slouchy you have to balance their overall appearance if you want to be stylish. Be creative and roll up the bottom for a young and boho look. These rolled up bottoms will help you show off your sexy ankles and stylish footwear.  For a more polished look, the cuffs should reach right above the ankles. To make your look more casual roll the cuffs two or three times.

Pair boyfriend jeans with fitted tops and tees for a more feminine look. Tight tops and long-sleeved tees make your look modern and up-to-date. If a more masculine style is what you're looking for, wear a button-down shirt and flats. You can also layer your tops.  For example, wear a simple tank top with a vest. The combo will be simple, yet very chic.

Always keep your look feminine by emphasizing your waist with a belt. Boyfriend jeans are loose on the hips.  That's why it's almost essential to accessorize them with a belt. The advantage of these jeans is that they fit all body types, from athletic to curvaceous figures. The key is to not lose your femininity by enhancing your look with stylish accessories.

When it comes to borrowing from the boys, I've already claimed tailored tuxedo pants and now I'm swiping the boyfriend jean style too. Who would have guessed that we would be swapping our skinny jeans for a pair of loose and baggy pants?  No one- I'm sure. However, wearing your boyfriend's pants is more 'IN' than ever. Rock your boyfriend's style with sheer femininity in these jeans, without actually looking like you raided his closet.
