The unrolled look would be extremely unflattering on me. I have determined not to wear anything that makes me look bigger ever again.

One turn up is my fav at the moment as we are in summer. I pair that look with my saltwater sandals. In winter two rolls and booties.

And like Angie, mine are long enough to also cuff but wear full-length with very flat flats.

I like the colour but am not sure how to wear them. Not even sure if they suit me so I'll read all of the posts and have a play Deborah on "How do you wear your boyfriends?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-wear-your-boyfriends#post-1131180 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 06:33:10 +0000 Deborah 1131180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't wear BF jeans at all:(. Tried them but they didn't look or feel like me:). For the record I love seeing them worn in all their variations.

I have tall BFs and they're still too short to wear unrolled.

Rolled 100% of the time over here! Well, the baggy ones anyhow. My slim boyfriends look more like straight leg jeans with a dropped crotch, and I wear those full length, usually. minimalist on "How do you wear your boyfriends?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-wear-your-boyfriends#post-1131084 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 03:48:00 +0000 minimalist 1131084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ In leather, draped over my knee. Oh, the jeans? I don't have any. Open to it, but I'm just learning about jeans at all. Bought CoH bootcuts at NR and confused them with Kut brand. (Why doesn't Zappos carry CoH?) How would a curvy IT best wear bf jeans with Chuck Taylors?

I like the option. I do tend to wear my skinnies more in winter, though, anyway. Just because of the need for tucking into boots.  Janet on "How do you wear your boyfriends?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-wear-your-boyfriends#post-1131046 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 03:03:42 +0000 Janet 1131046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Good lord, I wish I had BFs long enough to unroll. They kind of drive me nuts that way -- both pairs I have are too short, and it limits me, so I don't wear them as often as I would like. In fact, I was just looking at Angie's blog post and thinking of ordering the long BFs she recommended to see if either one would work for me. This is all very coincidental to me, because i wore my Gap BFs today for the first time in a couple of months.

In the fall/winter, usually rolled, but sometimes full length with booties. . catgirl on "How do you wear your boyfriends?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-wear-your-boyfriends#post-1131015 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 02:44:26 +0000 catgirl 1131015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Both ways. Depends on shoes and weather. Angie on "How do you wear your boyfriends?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-wear-your-boyfriends#post-1131013 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 02:43:09 +0000 Angie 1131013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I wear my boyfriends three ways, and it depends on the weather:  1. Cropped and rolled (with pumps, ankle-strap pumps, or tapered ankle boots) 2. Long and unrolled (with flat or heeled booties) 3. Long and one roll - hence full length (with pumps, flat or heeled booties) I can't handle cold ankles, and I am that sensitive. That's why I like the option of the longer length.  Jaime on "How do you wear your boyfriends?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-wear-your-boyfriends#post-1131002 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 02:37:31 +0000 Jaime 1131002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am short enough that I can unroll mine to full length and I just do whichever feels right that day.

I think I just like the look of a nice slim ankle to balance the baggy baggy baggy legs. My hips and rear are much bigger than Angie's... I usually feel that without visible proof of a small ankle, everyone will mistake the extra pant volume for extra Rae volume. annagybe on "How do you wear your boyfriends?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-wear-your-boyfriends#post-1130978 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 02:20:27 +0000 annagybe 1130978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Haha, karymk, what boyfriend? But I like your analysis. gryffin on "How do you wear your boyfriends?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-wear-your-boyfriends#post-1130975 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 02:16:26 +0000 gryffin 1130975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My BF are full length.  I wear them with a small roll with booties or unrolled with booties.  But booties always booties. karymk on "How do you wear your boyfriends?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-wear-your-boyfriends#post-1130974 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 02:16:17 +0000 karymk 1130974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I roll mine.  Your "boyfriend" is bigger and taller than you. Hence you need a belt to "hold them up" as well as rolls at the hem to make them right to wear with pumps and pearls. ironkurtin on "How do you wear your boyfriends?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-wear-your-boyfriends#post-1130966 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 02:07:49 +0000 ironkurtin 1130966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Rolled, but then all my BF jeans are cropped.

CocoLion on "How do you wear your boyfriends?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-wear-your-boyfriends#post-1130936 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 01:38:56 +0000 CocoLion 1130936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My at-home casual look is folded once but with length.  Fully extended there is too much scrunch for my taste.  It really depends on the footwear.  The higher the heel, the more willing I am to roll them shorter.   The rules are pretty different for summer/sandal wear and I also have shorter boyfriend jeans for that season. Greyscale on "How do you wear your boyfriends?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-wear-your-boyfriends#post-1130935 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 01:38:40 +0000 Greyscale 1130935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My only real boyfriends are cropped, and they're exactly the wrong length for me, so I always wear them rolled (and pegged to taper them, again because they hit at the wrong point). If I get lucky I'm getting R13 crossover jeans which seem to fall in the same category as boyfriends, and I think I'd tend to wear them full length. But we shall see.

Diana on "How do you wear your boyfriends?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-wear-your-boyfriends#post-1130928 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 01:24:07 +0000 Diana 1130928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Rolled almost all of the time.  Of my 3 pairs, I only have one that I can wear unrolled (they are Long Gap SBFs).  The other two pairs are too short and look awful (mom jeans awful) when unrolled.  Even with the long ones, though, I prefer the look of a tiny roll at the bottom (they are still full length when I do this).  In winter, I also wear them tucked into midcalf and tall boots but I realize that's not a look for everyone.
