Help me choose a Sexy Boyfriend?

Two boyfriends showed up while DH and I were out of town! Now I have to pick which one will stay.

1-3: This boyfriend has a fairer complexion, a very RATE/distressed style, and he weighs a bit less. More of a summer surfer dude. The lighter color would look great with bright jackets and tanks.

4-6: This is the boyfriend I initially tried on in-store. He's a little heavier, a little darker, with a slightly perkier butt, and a more restrained look.

Which guy do you prefer?

P.S. sorry for the sunburn, lack of makeup, and bedhead. I'm happy to report that neither boyfriend cares about that stuff!

I like the overall fit on both, although the flap pockets on the darker pair look odd on baggy pants. I much prefer your butt in the first pair of jeans. I like both washes, as well.

I prefer the first pair. KILLER.

No two-timing? If that's the case, I'm smitten with the surfer dude He IS more summery, but you live in southern CA.

If your wardrobe can handle the lighter wash equally well. . .

You made me laugh hard with this extended metaphor! I love them both on you but lean slightly more towards the "surfer dude".

Yay for the surfer dude!

#1 for me! I prefer the wash, the plain pocket, and the bagginess on those.

Well you seemed to get the size and slouch right with both pairs. I like them both, depending on what you want them for. I supposed even the dark wash pair would be too casual for Casual Fridays at the office! I'm using a different computer (laptop is at the computer hospital) and I need to find a way to brighten my screen. I can hardly see the details on the dark pair at all. Okay, I've decided now. I prefer surfer dude.

Both look great, but I have a slight preference to the first pair because I'm loving the light faded washes right now.

Another vote for surfer dude!

Wow, so interesting! I was leaning toward the darker pair looking at them on my home computer due to "highlighter butt" on pair #1, but it doesn't look so bad now that I'm on a different monitor.

Yikes, now I want to keep *both* of them!

So keep both! Seriously, they both look good on you.

Both are equally good on you.

Isn't there room in your life for two boyfriends?

They both look great!

I just prefer the pockets sans the flaps - but #2 is good too

Make sure you comment on today's post with your point of view!

Oh, good, I'm glad you don't find the flaps hideous, Angie - I like them! I had a great time evaluating these with new eyes after reading your post.

I have a feeling that I will want to wear these all the way through winter, so I think I'm going to try selling off some bootcuts and keep both of these!

Shu

I love both! So glad to hear you're considering keeping two boyfriends!

Rae, you look great in both, can't decide. Your write up was delightful as usual!

Nothing like having two good-looking BFs and I agree with Angie and the others who prefer #1. It's just so you in every way! Dang, are you a great writer.

CK

I vote both.

Why give up one BF when you can have both? But, you did say "sexy" BF, so if I stick with that rule, I may slightly lean towards #2 since you mentioned the flattery that BF gave to your bottom. And you might want a BF to last into fall...

I love both but vote 1 for the plain pocket. What did you end up with?! Am dying to see all the BF threads here!

I like them both! I couldn't make out the pockets on the dark pair.

Uh, I still have both! I have a $50 gift card coming for the Gap, so I think I may just keep the lot of them. One for summer and one for fall/winter.

Denise, that is what I liked about the dark pockets - to me, they are actually more subtle despite the flap.

Rae, I can't believe I missed this post. I'm super late to the party but I like both equally. I have the lighter pair.

Marigold

I like both! Swaying a bit more towards the first pair because I like the more faded relaxed look. But the second pair would be great for fall/winter, being darker and thicker. Glad you're keeping both!
