Boyfriend jeans are everywhere this season, thanks to style trendsetters like Katie Holmes. If you don't feel like swiping a pair of your brother's or beau's jeans, here's what to look for when buying a pair of boyfriend jeans, courtesy of the experts at Cotton Incorporated.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: One hour or less
Here's How:
- Boyfriend jeans are meant to be rolled up at the bottom so that the cuff sits just above the ankle.
- If you are petite or have a short waist, even out proportions by cuffing jeans with a smaller roll.
- Consider what you are going to pair with your boyfriend jeans. In order to maintain a look that is both casual and feminine, it’s best to stick with slim-fitting tops and girly footwear.
- If you choose to pair your boyfriend jeans with masculine pieces such as a button-down cotton flannel, be sure to show off your feminine features by cinching your waist with a belt, wearing high heels, or accessorizing with chunky bracelets.
- If you decide to wear a pair of men’s jeans, make sure they fit! Find a pair that fit you through the waist and hips, and try and opt for a straight leg. Men’s bootcut and flared denim doesn’t work quite as well for this cuffed denim trend.
Tips:
- Because this style is meant to sit low on the hips, it works on both curvy and straight bodies.
- On cooler days try pairing your cuffed boyfriend jeans with a pair of patterned socks or stockings.
