Starting YLF petition...

...in begging Angie to feature her BF jeans outfit SOON! I know I may be selfish now when I have BF jeans myself but it does not stop me!
So this is my petition text:
"Darling Angie! Please make a post featuring your BF jeans outfit as soon as possible because YLFers are simply dying to see it and you don't want to raise our mortality rate, do you?
We would also appreciate your splendid tips for transitioning BF jeans into the fall as well as breaking down how to make them work for different body types and different dress codes.

Pretty please?"

April, present and accounted for (and thus far resisting this trend, so needing compelling evidence that it's cool to have your drawers falling off...)

April, I think Sveta's recent boyfriend jeans outfit proves that they are cool

Angie, I'd also like to see your boyfriends

Signed! I am itching to buy BF jeans but I really need some styling inspiration before I take the plunge. I don't like to wear long pants in the summer and--like many other YLF'ers--I'm not sure how to transition the style into fall and winter.

Angie, you have already helped me choose my size, and I can't wait to be inspired by your styling tips!

Oh Angie - you sweet cruel woman! You're just having too much fun with this aren't you???

Angie, the question is - when???
I agree with Shannon - you are cruel even though you are incredibly sweet in the same time.

Did anyone else notice that Angie is wearing her Gap BF jeans in the outtakes of all the Nordstrom outfit posts?

It makes me sad to be called cruel.

I can feel your love, Shannon :). Each time you comment, you comment with a warm heart and open mind.

Sveta, I hadn't planned on making my BF jeans the next outfit post - perhaps after that. Not sure yet! The decision depends on a few things. But you do NOT need help with the look - you nailed it on your first attempt!

Just adding my name to the 'petition'

Oh, and I'd love to see a "formula" post featuring BF jeans for fall....but, I guess that's another petition.

Angie, you know I did not mean it, right? You are the kindest person I know!
I still hope to see your outfit with BF jeans at some point but if not maybe you can do one of your amazing formulas for them? This is not an easy and intuitive trend to wear so I think it would be very useful for everybody who want to dip their toes but feels intimidated by this trend?
As for me nailing it on the first attempt - that might have been an accident: I still don't know what are the components of the success here. For example I tried to wear them with a hound tooth blouse tucked in with the belt and did not like it at all. I feel that blazer and some heels work well with those jeans because they counteract their relaxed vibe but I would like to wear them without blazer and with flats if possible without feeling frumpy. Is it possible? I don't know...

So now I'm even more curious. Based on reading about people going up multiple sizes and having their jeans almost falling off, I was (happily!) surprised when I saw Sveta's pictures. Those jeans don't look droopy or saggy at all.

The plot thickens...

April, I went just 1 size up but I have full thighs. I f had regular or thin thighs I may have go with my regular size. I definitely cannot take them of without unzipping and unbuttoning!

Sveta, I've already done one BF jeans formula:

http://youlookfab.com/2012/06/.....ouse-belt/

April, like I mentioned in my fit thread - you have to find your baggy sweet spot and perhaps wear a belt. Some like to wear their BF jeans quite fitted - like Inge, Tanya, Sylvie and Diana showed us when they sported their looks. Others prefer them much baggier like Rae, Ceit, Merwomen, Jonesy, Anna, Una, Cathy and me. I went up two sizes and have the whole sagging crotch and flat bottom thing going on - just for fun :). I want them to look Iike I borrowed Greg's jeans - so mine are "Husband Jeans". Some prefer the in between fits like Anne, Sveta and Shannon. Find your baggy sweet spot.

After that, decide whether you want to wear the look with structure or volume. Sveta, it sounds like you want to wear the look with structure.

Okay. A how to wear BF jeans tutorial coming up next week. I will expect you all to comment on that post!
