Boyfriend jeans are available in all sorts of washes, lengths and fits. Remember to choose the way that you like to wear them, which is either slim-fitting, baggy, or very baggy and slouchy. It might mean sizing up or sizing down if you don’t like the silhouette in your regular size. Sizing up usually requires a belt to prevent the jeans from falling down.
- Rag & Bone Slim-Fit Boyfriend Jeans: I’m still deciding whether I need another pair of faded blue boyfriend jeans, but these will be the ones if I bite the bullet. They run small, so I sized up because I like mine to fit looser than on the model. A great baggy, yet tailored fit through the lower hip and calf. Pretty tapered on the ankle.
- This City Boyfriend Jeans: Great price and pretty good fit. The crotch point hangs low, just like in the photo, so it’s fab for those with long rises and curvy bottoms. Lots of room without feeling exposed.
- KUT from the Kloth Catherine Slim Boyfriend Jeans: These are a repeat style from last year and one way to wear the style at a more affordable price. The denim is quite stiff and bags out a little, but not much at all. Structured, yet roomy. I have many happy clients in this style. Some have sized up for an extra baggy look. Some have sized down for a slim-fit look. I have them in white, and they are among my favourite jeans.
- KUT from the Kloth Catherine Boyfriend Jeans (Plus): Here’s the same great cut in plus sizes.
- Citizens of Humanity Skyler Crop Boyfriend Jeans (Vista): I have not seen these in person, but I’m intrigued, and will be ordering them in a few months as a casual jeans option for Summer. Bring on the hot weather.
- Paige Jimmy Jimmy Straight Leg Jeans (Aero): These fit more like relaxed skinnies because of their slim silhouette. Read the rave reviews.
- Citizen of Humanity Dylan Loose Fit Jeans (Seychelles): These are great for wider calves because the hems are less tapered, which means that you can roll them a little shorter. It’s hard to find faded denim without rips and holes, and these fit the bill. They are not nearly as baggy as on the model unless you deliberately size up at least a size. Read the rave reviews.
- Vince Mason Relaxed Rolled Jeans: The higher rise on these is great for some of my clients, and the denim is super soft. A pretty slim-fit straight through the leg. Excellent for relatively narrow hips and slender legs.
Boyfriend jeans are the denim silhouette and totally mainstream. If you like to wear jeans, by all means include this style in your denim capsule.
