They have the baggy vibe of a BF jean and look really comfy. Nice find! I also like Angie's suggestion to cut off some of the length so rolling them will be easier and have less bulk. Great idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine/page/2#post-661678 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 16:28:39 +0000 Jonesy 661678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the fit in #1, but I see what Diana is getting at re. the fabrication. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-661674 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 16:25:06 +0000 Sveta 661674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, thanks for the learning curve! I am a complete neofit for BF jeans but I also like the fit in #1 and would not mind them for myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-661667 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 16:13:03 +0000 cciele 661667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #1 looks great on you! Definitely has the boyfriend vibe, whereas #2 looks like a nice-fitting crop pant. I like the suggestion to shorten and taper a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-661555 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 12:05:58 +0000 Deborah 661555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya I am still getting my head around exactly what constitutes a boyfriend jean:) so this post has been great. I like the way #1 looks on you. Not too baggy, just right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-661537 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 10:48:49 +0000 Diana 661537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, I just had a thought. I wonder if it's the fabrication of these that is making them feel too bulky to you. It's hard for me to tell without touching the fabric but in the photos it looks like it might be a thicker, stiffer denim? I wonder if a thinner, softer, lighter denim might feel less bulky. I personally am looking for a summer-weight denim (preferably with no stretch) for my potential boyfriends. </p> <p>Otherwise, I agree with Angie - chop away! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-661518 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 09:15:21 +0000 Mona 661518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, thanks for posting this. Like Angie said, such a great learning for YLFers like me who are absolutely new to the boyfriend jeans fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-661454 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 04:35:05 +0000 Ana 661454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the jeans in #2, but I may have a poison eye for baggy boyfriend jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-661439 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 04:18:43 +0000 fashionista 661439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it the way you styled in #2. That's my style and thankyou for giving me some more ideas on styling boyfriend jeans. They have become an orphan in my wardrobe. And they were gift from my BF, so couldnot donate or give it away!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-661428 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 03:54:30 +0000 Tanya 661428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really appreciate everyone's input. Angie and Shannon, you are very welcome.</p> <p>At this point I am fairly undecided. I have three weeks left till the expiration of return period. I will try to see if I can find something better in the meantime. If not, I will keep these, hack them as Angie suggests and maybe even have them tapered ever so slightly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-661233 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 21:10:10 +0000 catgirl 661233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the first pair! If you're going to go with the BF look, you might as well commit to the whole slouchy factor, and you still look amazing and slim! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-661229 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 21:07:33 +0000 Beth Ann 661229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them, Tanya. These look kind of "retro" to me, too. You know, like Doris Day in a 50's movie. Like you've really borrowed your guys jeans, but they're a little too long, so you've rolled them up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-661159 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 19:56:09 +0000 Laura 661159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HUGE preference for #1! I understand the bulkiness issue and hope you can fix that to your satisfaction because you look fantastic in them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-661153 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 19:47:11 +0000 Jamie 661153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the Catherines on you, Tanya. The Bardots are great, too, but less like a BF jean because of the snugger fit. I'm going to give some BF jeans a try, and I can only hope to look as good as you do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-661107 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 18:45:19 +0000 Kiwichik 661107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Catherine jeans look like BF jean perfect it to me - baggy is good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-661105 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 18:44:50 +0000 Angie 661105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw that, Tanya. I like the roominess around the lower leg, actually :). It looks fab! Thanks for taking the extra pics, btw. This is a great learning curve for the forum. </p> <p>The bulk on the roll can be uncomfortable - I hear you. If you keep these, I vote hack some length off the hem and roll to the shorter version.</p> <p>I got very scissor happy and hacked off the length of my long and leans - which are as baggy as these Catherines AND they have wide hems. Now they look like weird culottes - but I like them. And Greg loves them too - unexpectedly :)</p> <p>You look adorable in these baggy jeans, Tanya!! So cute I want to hug you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-661084 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 18:19:44 +0000 Transcona Shannon 661084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for posting this Tanya. I actually really like the Catherine's as BF jeans. For me, because I have much larger legs than you, the extra room in the thigh is actually perfect for me. If the Gap sexy BF jeans do not work for me, I'm going to give the Catherine's a try. For a shortie like myself, the issue will be hemming and possibly having to taper the bottom portion of the leg a bit. </p> <p>Thanks again Tanya. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-661070 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 17:39:56 +0000 Tanya 661070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much Angie and everyone for your input!</p> <p>Angie, it is not actually fit at the waist that is bothering me - they are too big there, but I get that that is the point. It is the fit around the legs, I feel like I am swimming in the material from knee below, like they are Palazzo pants. I have taken some extra photos here to show how much extra material there is - you can fit three of my calves in there. They are also lower on the waist per Diana's request. I guess I prefer the fit like the one Kari linked to, or like Laura's do. As I have already mentioned, Kari expressed my feelings much more eloquently that would be able to. Plus they are full length, and I have to roll them many times, and the cuff feels very bulky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-661066 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 17:36:29 +0000 Amy 661066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 best myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-661048 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 17:09:32 +0000 Diana 661048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 looks like how a true boyfriend jean is supposed to fit, at least in my head. I think you definitely have the body type to pull off the style although I know you are used to wearing more fitted pants. </p> <p>I'd actually like to see them with the belt a teensy bit looser (so long as the pants do not fall off when you do that!) since I like the look when they are very low rise, just sitting on the hip bone. (This is what I mean by your having the perfect body type for this - my hip bones, for example, are too high so I can't achieve the super low rise, slouchy look). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-661046 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 17:06:26 +0000 Angie 661046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, where are they really huge? On the waist of course - but you can have that fixed and belt! Models wear their BF jeans baggier than your version in #1. The Gap model I linked to yesterday for sure. To my eye, and in the photos, #1 looks roomy but right. They fit like BF jeans. I can imagine that they FEEL huge after wearing tight skinny jeans for a while. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-661041 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 16:58:26 +0000 Anonymous 661041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you are just used to wearing close-fitted clothing, so the boyfriend esthetic is clashing with what you are used to. I think #1 looks perfectly slouchy but not sloppy. It still shows your figure, but is a more generous fit than #2. </p> <p>#2 looks fantastic on you as well, but those are definitely cropped jeans, not boyfriend jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-661010 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 16:15:24 +0000 Tanya 661010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, Angie, really? I feel like they are really huge and shapeless and just do not feel right in them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-661003 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 16:11:22 +0000 Angie 661003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 even more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-661000 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 16:09:28 +0000 Tanya 661000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much ladies! I have edited my original post as I am afraid I wasn't clear enough - I posted #2 for comparison only and am really wondering about #1.</p> <p>Kari expressed exactly how I feel about #1, and I do not feel good in them, so I do not think I will be keeping them unless I get really convinced. Actually, that photo she linked to is perfect, I wish I could find a pair like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-660987 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 16:04:00 +0000 morethanbeige 660987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look of #2, but agree they aren't really boyfriend jeans in the baggy sense. I will watch this thread, because I want to know too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-660985 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 16:01:08 +0000 ManidipaM 660985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 looks like a great cropped pair of jeans, while #1 (higher rolled-up edition) looks like boyfriend jeans to me... but I'm really not very confident in the BF jeans arena. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-660982 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 15:58:44 +0000 christieanne 660982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's hard to adjust the eye after wearing less volume in jeans - the Bardot style looks fantastic but isn't really a boyfriend jean in the traditional sense. The Catherine could work but maybe the size down would be better? The leg looks like it tapers? Is that an optical illusion? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-660958 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 15:38:26 +0000 JulieJohn 660958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is definitely slouchier, and looks dandy. If you feel good in them, keep 'em. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boyfriend-jeans-kr-kut-from-the-kloth-catherine#post-660954 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 15:36:25 +0000 Kari 660954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, in my opinion the pair in #1 is a bit too big - I feel like these are more shapeless than slouchy, if that makes sense. I may be in the minority preferring a sleeker fit for slouchy pants, though.</p> <p>#2 are not slouchy, but the fit is really beautiful on you.</p> <p>I think my favorite interpretation of the boyfriend jeans trend I have seen so far is A's "girlfriend jeans" outfit on Academichic - I love the way that they are slouchy and oversized, but still show off her figure. <a href="http://www.academichic.com/2009/04/21/21-april-2009-3/" rel="nofollow">http://www.academichic.com/200.....il-2009-3/</a> </p>
