And always nice to know you were forward of fashion. </p> <p>Being more backward of fashion, and creeped out by droopy-butt pants on me, poison-eyed to ripped pants on adults who aren't working in construction or barnyards, anti-heels for me, and allergic to the leg shortening roll hem on me (see why I'm so backward?!) I am one of the handful of females between 8 and 80 who haven't at least actually tried them. </p> <p>But I'm thinking about it. I saw a pair of "slim boyfriends" in the JJill catalog that actually speak to me. I know JJill fits me like a dream (I avoid the droopy drapey styles because they're not me). These jeans have a long lean clean line with barely more faded areas where other brands would gouge some good rips, and I might not die from trying a roll in fall/winter footwear. </p> <p>Maybe I'm not made for boyfriends, but then maybe I should at least have coffee with one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-have-a-boyfriend#post-1022760 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 15:03:34 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1022760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Sara L, I wear mine a little more fitted, but yes, I love them (Gap sexy boyfriends). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-have-a-boyfriend#post-1022758 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 15:01:32 +0000 rae 1022758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I love yours!

The contrast of the belt and the shirt pattern is beautiful. You look great.<div><br /></div><div>I had an "aha!" moment a few weeks ago when I put on my actual boyfriend's jeans. (The upside of dating a guy who isn't much taller/bigger than I am is wearing his clothes.) His Levi's felt so comfortable, had deep pockets, and actually looked cool on me - unlike all the "boyfriend jeans" I've tried on in women's sections. I definitely recommend men's worn-in Levis! Should be easy to find new or thrifted (or snag from any close men of similar size).</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-have-a-boyfriend#post-1022739 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 14:49:14 +0000 Sara L. 1022739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look good in yours!&nbsp; I have a pair but mine are a tighter fit than most people on the forum.&nbsp; I just don't like super baggy clothes on me, so I adjusted the style to work for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-have-a-boyfriend#post-1022733 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 14:41:56 +0000 JennyK (NC) 1022733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BlondeAmbition - this is exactly what I was going to ask.

That's what happened to me with tapered trousers. Do you want to laugh? Just look at this pic I've just scanned. I attended to my best (girl-)friend wedding in 1998 (I think it was that year). Look a me! My gosh. Just afterwards I saw the pic and I said to myself never tapered trousers for me. And years later I am just wearing tappered cargo's and turquois chino's and boyfriend.</p> <p>Ramya, I guess it does count. I've had that a lot because I do not know how but I buy a pair and they fit ok, after a couple of months then they become boyfriend. You see, this is because I do not like constricting clothes and after some wearing and washing jeans just get bigger (most of the time).</p> <p>Lantana, it is just as fine relationship. Not all your relationships have to long and intense. You can just choose to have casual meetings to have fun. Hahaha!</p> <p>Ingunn, I just had to settled down with this one because of budget issues. I am now looking for a more formal BF to upgrade myself.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-have-a-boyfriend#post-1022595 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 10:47:14 +0000 Ingunn 1022595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really cool bf style! For me, it's a question of meeting the right one. So, no, I'm not in a relationship. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-have-a-boyfriend#post-1022594 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 10:41:27 +0000 Lantana 1022594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found mine in a thrift store.

And no I don't have a boyfriend <br />You know maybe I will dip my toe in the trend. I like how some of the ladies on here wear booties with them, it's a look that does have some appeal. So never say never eh? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-have-a-boyfriend#post-1022558 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 08:36:17 +0000 ModeGekkie 1022558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear YLF members,<br />I LOVE my boyfriends (hahah). I remember like in 2006, when nobody was sporting this look and even though I am a petite pretty pear I bought a dark crisp pair of men jeans. I felt so special, edgy, fashion-forward and COMFY. And now they are everywhere. I know I am pushing here the rules of style, because by no means they are making me look less pear shape or taller or more in balance. But I still feel fab like I did in my first pair when I was 2 or 3 sizes less and I had no post baby belly.<br />So, do you have a boyfriend yet???</p> <p>xxx,<br />Iris </p>
