The other ones look just right but it's hard to see without seeing front &amp; back of them. Maybe I wear my clothes too tight though. I usually wear skinnies or boot cut so I think they should be but still. I also never had a boyfriend or husband who wore his jeans as loose as the first one so whose BF do they mean when they say BF jean lol? </p> <p>I'm probably not much help but I found these helpful posts from Angie.</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/07/30/how-to-choose-and-fit-boyfriend-jeans/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2012/07/.....end-jeans/</a> </p> <p>and this </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/08/28/the-classics-and-a-boyfriend/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2012/08/.....boyfriend/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-boyfriend-cords#post-708085 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 07:35:50 +0000 Lyn D. 708085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the 2 could be fine, especially if they give a little as the denim ones do?<br /> Was that a fitting room with no mirror except outside the cubicle? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-boyfriend-cords#post-708069 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 07:02:02 +0000 Deborah 708069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am hopeless when it comes to bf jeans but I live the mustard color on you and I have to say they are fab shoes you are wearing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-boyfriend-cords#post-708035 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 05:34:44 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 708035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The 0 looks roomy enough to me, and they look boyfriendy (unlike the red ones on the other shopper, yikes). The fact that they barely stay up without a belt suggests that they are loose enough also. I don't think you need to size up to the 2, unless you want to gather the waist up with a belt. I like the mustard color better on you, fwiw, and I think it's more current looking. You look great in this style, whichever size you settle on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-boyfriend-cords#post-708012 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 04:32:24 +0000 rae 708012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine fit like your 4s, but I know not everyone likes them that baggy. The 2 might be your sweet spot. </p> <p>I agree that the red pants look too tight... maybe the salesperson knows they will bag out or something? o_0 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-boyfriend-cords#post-708006 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 04:20:13 +0000 Echo 708006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great in the 0, but the 2 would be fine for a little looser fit. The 4s do seem a bit overly roomy (even for roomy pants) in the legs. My heart goes out to the woman in the red pants, and I hope she was not swayed by the salesperson's insistence that she was wearing the correct size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-boyfriend-cords#post-707989 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 03:21:55 +0000 Dana 707989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for a size 2 also. Three inches is a lot to have taken in at the waist, and they might not turn out right. I think you'll still get the right look in the 2. The ones pictured almost seem a little too big in the legs. </p> <p>Which color are you getting? Either way, you'll get a lot of good out of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-boyfriend-cords#post-707960 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 02:49:37 +0000 Suz 707960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the mustard! I can't comment too much on the size except to say that baggy is good. You are probably good in the 2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-boyfriend-cords#post-707931 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 02:33:49 +0000 sarah 707931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the 2 is probably the right size. Have considered a 4P? They look pretty long and loose in the leg, at the part where they're rolled. I don't know how tall you are, but I found that in the jeans, the 6P was perfect, whereas the 4 regular was too long to narrow enough at the rolled part. (I found that they otherwise fit pretty similarly, even tho they're a whole size apart). I like the color of the mustard. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-boyfriend-cords#post-707914 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 02:14:59 +0000 esme noir 707914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>trying to figure out which size to buy in the GAP bf cords. i like pants very loose, especially in the rise. i tried on the 4, which are pictured here in mustard. i like the fit, but they were perhaps 3 inches too big in the waist (sorry i covered that with the top). tried the 0 in light brown (saleswoman thought these were the right size). they stayed up (just barely) without a belt but i don't think they are baggy enough! maybe a 2? maybe have the waist taken in on the 4? i posted this on the blog, but here are the photos! (oh my the other woman in the 2nd photo with the red/orange pants was encouraged by the salesperson that they were the right size---i think they are WAY too tight!!!! ugh! but i kept my little mouth SHUT!) </p>
