I'm still working on getting used to the whole BF thing. I fought hard to accept my body and shape as it is and wearing the slouchy/BF look seemed so opposite of how I should be dressing to flatter my figure. But I'm learning that there's different types of figure flattery - conventional and unconventional - and am beginning to enjoy experimenting with different shapes and silhouettes. It's all a matter of tweaking the trend to suit you - as Angie says, be the boss of your clothes and don't let the clothes boss you around! If the BF thing isn't for you, that's ok. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-it-take-you-a-bit-to-get-used-to-your-bf-jeans#post-872781 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 19:48:43 +0000 4babiesMe 872781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In high school I wore a men's size 36 or 38 that I got at a thrift store. Seems like I could get used to it again. LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-it-take-you-a-bit-to-get-used-to-your-bf-jeans#post-872780 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 19:45:06 +0000 4babiesMe 872780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You girls are absolutely right about the strait vs tapered. I thought about that too, but honestly didn't think the sillouette looked too terrible because straights are more like skinnines on me anyway. I didn't leave the house in them, though. Nor would I. LOL The butt looked terrible! Probably because they were not meant to be BFs, so they just looked like droopy drawers. I can't wait til my new jeans come! And I may just have to get some BFs soon. I have never seen anyone wear them here. They all just wear the super embellished, bold white threaded jeans here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-it-take-you-a-bit-to-get-used-to-your-bf-jeans#post-872421 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 11:44:19 +0000 Astrid 872421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did take me some time to get used to mine. Although my big bum made it easier, I get the bfs just staying on my hips and being loose in the thighs without the rear view being that saggy. I first wore them around at home and got used to the feel of wearing them fast. Then I wore them to meet up with friends and then in the end everywhere else. Sometimes I still feel a bit strange wearing them, because almost no one else does, but I love the way they look on me. You'll have to give it some time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-it-take-you-a-bit-to-get-used-to-your-bf-jeans#post-872337 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 04:58:39 +0000 CocoLion 872337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on the smaller size. I'm not sure straight legs and bfs are really the same, as bfs will have a fuller thigh but more tapered ankle. </p> <p>For myself, I took to bfs like a duck takes to water but I think it's because I got very lucky the first time -- I found the perfectly fitting bf jeans by accident and still love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-it-take-you-a-bit-to-get-used-to-your-bf-jeans#post-872319 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 04:29:28 +0000 Adelfa 872319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Suz, painter's pants! I loved them! And I had a really cute pair in palest mint! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-it-take-you-a-bit-to-get-used-to-your-bf-jeans#post-872280 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 03:54:37 +0000 Beth Ann 872280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the feel of the roominess, but it did take me several wears, and I definitely need a belt! I like different denim silhouettes, and I wear skinnies, straights and bootcuts, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-it-take-you-a-bit-to-get-used-to-your-bf-jeans#post-872261 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 03:32:01 +0000 Suz 872261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Talk to Transcona Shannon. She has been working things out with her BFs since the summer!</p> <p>I found them easy to love. But I"m so old I grew up wearing painter's pants which were just as baggy (if not quite as slouchy) and my hubby, unlike most, absolutely LOVES the BF look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-it-take-you-a-bit-to-get-used-to-your-bf-jeans#post-872245 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 03:16:19 +0000 Adelfa 872245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if I could ever get used to a dropped crotch. I feel really unfab when the pants I already have do that naturally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-it-take-you-a-bit-to-get-used-to-your-bf-jeans#post-872198 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 02:32:02 +0000 sarah 872198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Aida said - I loved wearing them right away! (Hubbie is still not used to them, though ; ) ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-it-take-you-a-bit-to-get-used-to-your-bf-jeans#post-872166 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 01:58:57 +0000 Aida 872166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it may depend on how much slouchiness you've got in your style. For myself, it wasn't hard because I already have plenty of slouchy/oversize. But you certainly have to give into the butt surrender quality of them I think you'll find that a tapered pair will be more flattering than a straight leg, since the rolled up bit will be smaller and less leg shortening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-it-take-you-a-bit-to-get-used-to-your-bf-jeans#post-872091 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 00:54:14 +0000 Jjsloane 872091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you! I found BF jeans an easy transition as I adapted them after a weight loss so it kind of felt good to have the roominess. A belt is key here to make the waist stay where I want it (hips usually). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-it-take-you-a-bit-to-get-used-to-your-bf-jeans#post-872087 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 00:52:32 +0000 kellygirl 872087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! I do think the BF takes a bit of getting used to. I have such a flat butt that I'm used to saggy jeans (so I probably had a head start.) You will get used to them in no time. So comfy and fun </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-it-take-you-a-bit-to-get-used-to-your-bf-jeans#post-872082 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 00:49:34 +0000 4babiesMe 872082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have any...yet. But all afternoon I have been tugging at my straight legs (that fit fine this morning when I put them on). They are falling down on my hips (why am I not wearing a belt?), and I finally rolled them up to try out the bf look. That hasn't eliminated the temptation to pull them up, though. lol Makes me wonder if I would ever be able to get used to baggy/saggy. Funny, these jeans were tight a month ago. Guess it's time to go for size 10's, which I haven't been in for years. (Yay!) </p>
