You wear the style perfectly! These may not be THE ones, though, and that might be why you think it's not for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-the-boyfriend-look---hmmmm#post-790504 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 08:30:16 +0000 RoseandJoan 790504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your body is fantastic Anne. I think the rise on the jeans is too high for your frame and I believe you are right to pass on the jeans to someone who will love them.</p> <p>Good for you for giving the look a go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-the-boyfriend-look---hmmmm#post-790493 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 07:03:57 +0000 Asingh 790493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans look fine on you but I think adding a floral scarf will make the outfit more interesting and balanced. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-the-boyfriend-look---hmmmm#post-790438 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 04:54:08 +0000 Freckles 790438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For all of the reasons the ladies outlined above do pass these on and if bf<code>s don</code>t fit into your 12/12 plan no loss as you have fab jeans already. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-the-boyfriend-look---hmmmm#post-790374 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 03:24:32 +0000 Transcona Shannon 790374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do think you can pull of the BF look Anne - I just don't think these are THE ones, you know? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-the-boyfriend-look---hmmmm#post-790362 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 03:11:55 +0000 anne 790362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the encouragement Suz. I'll not say "never" but I can't really make it a priority on my 12 in 12 plan - I need to think through every slot in that 12 very carefully - and I do have enough jeans to get by on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-the-boyfriend-look---hmmmm#post-790330 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 02:43:48 +0000 Suz 790330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>But I DO think you could wear a better version of BFs, Anne, and VERY successfully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-the-boyfriend-look---hmmmm#post-790324 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 02:37:55 +0000 anne 790324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are all confirming what the picture was telling me! I think the jeans are going to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-the-boyfriend-look---hmmmm#post-790307 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 02:12:54 +0000 Diana 790307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, yeah, I agree with Una and the others that this looks more like just too-big women's jeans than a true BF style. I can't really tell at this angle but I suspect the rear pocket placement might be contributing to the off look too - on good BF jeans, the pockets are close together to give that straight hipped, masculine look. </p> <p>I think this may be why the sizing up regular jeans thing only works with very slim styles like skinnies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-the-boyfriend-look---hmmmm#post-790255 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 01:11:47 +0000 Jjsloane 790255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. Can you add a wider belt and wear them lower on your hips? If not, they are not quite a good BF silhouette for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-the-boyfriend-look---hmmmm#post-790254 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 01:10:57 +0000 anne 790254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, yes you are right - oversized woman's jeans!! The rise looks high too, in addition to what you were waying</p> <p>Atlantia - yes I am in Australia, so have just started summer here. In a few weeks it will be too hot to wear jeans at all. I don't think BF jeans are around much here either. Thanks for the body reassurance! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-the-boyfriend-look---hmmmm#post-790251 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 01:10:14 +0000 Anonymous 790251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the essential component of the BF is the straight cut hip and the taper at the leg. These aren't quite doing that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-the-boyfriend-look---hmmmm#post-790247 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 01:06:54 +0000 Atlantia 790247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you are being a bit harsh on yourself. Your waist is very evident, and I do not think your rear view is enormous. But if you don't feel confident in this look, you probably won't wear them. I don't think they look all that bad. I do think of BF jeans as a summer look...are you in warm weather? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-the-boyfriend-look---hmmmm#post-790243 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 01:06:08 +0000 catgirl 790243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are quite cute on you, Anne! However, I feel they look a bit too much like oversized women's jeans (which they are, right?), instead of having that straight-hipped slouchy look. KWIM? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-the-boyfriend-look---hmmmm#post-790241 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 01:03:50 +0000 anne 790241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wasn't planning to go in for the boyfriend look but a friend gave me a bag of hand me downs which included this pair of jeans several times bigger than my normal size. They are not so big they go over my hips buttoned up though.</p> <p>I don't think this does much for me. I already have a large bottom - on this it looks enormous. And tucking in has somehow pulled that top away from my waist, so it looks like I don't have one.</p> <p>Am I right to ditch this look? </p>
