The second look is so nice. Just for fun the other day, I tried on some of my hubby's jeans to see what that would look like. Eww! It wasn't pretty. I'm jealous that you can make it work. I like the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-71224 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 22:28:53 +0000 cciele 71224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, the platform sandals. They're Kenneth Cole, with Silver Technology (I guess that's the Kenneth Cole's Nike Air equivalent). They are surprisingly comfortable for a 4" heel (3/4" platform) -- particularly since I don't usually wear heels above 2 or 2.5". I haven't done any serious walking in them, but have worn them to parties, out to brunch/dinner, things like that where you do some walking/standing and some sitting.</p> <p>I guess Kenneth Cole is doing something right with making comfortable wedge sandals, seeing that Angie recommended the Kenneth Cole Reaction Cedar City sandals in her blog! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-71143 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 18:08:37 +0000 Anonymous 71143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You got it! I love this on you, and I love seeing Angie's rules in motion. Way to go cceile </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-71060 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 13:54:56 +0000 Vani 71060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second outfit is great cciele! And yeah, are those sandals as comfortable as they are cute? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-71009 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 11:05:13 +0000 yublocka 71009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CCeile I really like the banded top you are wearing in the first pic, bit agree the second outfit works better with the jeans. The sandals in the 2nd pic are so cute too!! Are they as comfy as they look?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-70893 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 22:41:40 +0000 cciele 70893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the compliments, ladies!</p> <p>Angie -- yes you do make sense. By hanging around this forum, I am learning how apply these fashion rules about proportion throughout my wardrobe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-70889 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 22:25:57 +0000 AlexSue 70889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second look is amazing! Much more flattering and chic : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-70882 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 21:40:03 +0000 Angie 70882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also prefer the second look, cc. You look sweet :0) I am consistent in my thought process! Here's why: </p> <p>The pants look like clams so it's fine (as do the pants on the gal in the sartorialist). The heels raise the hemline of the jeans so that works too. Hope there is method to my madness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-70877 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 21:22:56 +0000 Maya 70877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the second outfit CC! The shoes are an instant improvement and you look so chic without looking like you're trying too hard. Very cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-70875 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 21:18:34 +0000 cciele 70875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the vote of confidence :)</p> <p>AlexSue -- Hm, structured top, that would make sense (given the looseness of the bottoms. Earlier this morning I was wearing the top with full-length bootcut jeans, but then I saw my boyfriend jeans and thought I would play around.</p> <p>Maya -- That Sartorialist photo is awesome; I love his shots. I'm not a skinny tall European beanpole, but I thought it'd be fun to do my interpretation of her look:</p> <p><a href="http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt252/cciele/Outfits/DSC_1484.jpg?t=1244495870" rel="nofollow">http://i617.photobucket.com/al.....1244495870</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-70853 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 20:05:56 +0000 Anonymous 70853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay. I think they look good on you. You look comfortable and fashion forward and I think it is great that you are trying this.<br /> My eye is adjusting to the look over the year. For main stream they don't seem as baggy, torn up, low slung, bagged out in the butt as if your boyfriend just took them off, like they seemed on the models who first strutted them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-70849 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 19:57:06 +0000 rute 70849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't like boyfriend jeans on me.. but on you the look good, specially because you put it together with a feminine blouse.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-70835 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 19:20:46 +0000 Maya 70835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This has been debated before. I think Angie remains unconvinced but there were a few of us who liked the look (at least I did and Antje did). I have never tried it myself, however, because I think it looks best with some sort of heel unless you're already tall. </p> <p>Antje had posted a picture of this young lady and I think she looks terrific, but she is also a stringbean and has on some very deadly heels:</p> <p><a href="http://www.thesartorialist.com/photos/2289BluVivWeb.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.thesartorialist.com.....VivWeb.jpg</a></p> <p>My conclusion is that it can work and look great, but it's not an easy look to pull off and far from flop proof. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-70833 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 19:16:21 +0000 AlexSue 70833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look cute on you. I find that full length jeans are more flattering (more elongating to the leg), but I think that you could pull these off : ) I might consider a more structured top though, maybe with a tighter blouse or a blazer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jeans-yay-or-nay#post-70828 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 19:11:31 +0000 cciele 70828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of boyfriend jeans I got a few years ago, which I wear when puttering around the house (because they are so loose and comfy).</p> <p>I wanted to try something with rolled-up hem look that's been sported for the last year--or is this trend already on its way out? </p> <p><a href="http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt252/cciele/Outfits/DSC_1482.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i617.photobucket.com/al.....C_1482.jpg</a></p> <p>I chose a romantic blouse to contrast the ultra-casual boyfriend jeans. I rolled them up to mid-calf in hopes that they didn't chop my legs visually too much.</p> <p>What do you think? If anything, it's comfortable!</p> <p>ETA: Second look, inspired by Sartorialist photo:<br /> <a href="http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt252/cciele/Outfits/DSC_1484.jpg?t=1244495870" rel="nofollow">http://i617.photobucket.com/al.....1244495870</a> </p>
