It's one challenge after the other, isn't it? I find so many more things that don't work than do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victorias-secret-no-boyfriends#post-1154729 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 01:45:32 +0000 fuzzylogic 1154729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great title!</p> <p>Sorry they didn't work for you.</p> <p>I'm afraid I can't offer much on the subject of boyfriend jeans but it sounds as if you have a few leads to follow. Good luck!

The length is good on my 5'4" self, too...not quite full length boyfriends. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victorias-secret-no-boyfriends#post-1154662 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 23:50:44 +0000 Janet 1154662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry they didn't work!</p> <p>I'm confused by those who are saying BFs don't work on their slim hips -- BFs are cut like guys' jeans, and guys have slim hips! I think they're way harder to fit for those of us with excess hip and thigh. On me the thighs aren't even loose and the waist is enormous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victorias-secret-no-boyfriends#post-1154659 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 23:45:19 +0000 catgirl 1154659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a big fan of baggy BFs but I have the Gap ones in several sizes and the smallest are quite trim.&nbsp; They used to come in P sizes also - haven't bought recently but still ADORE my old pairs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victorias-secret-no-boyfriends#post-1154643 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 23:31:51 +0000 Shirley 1154643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your post title.&nbsp; I am not on the BF wagon either.&nbsp; Almost ordered a pair from Gap but did not go through.&nbsp; I just don't "think" they will work for my straight hips and small frame.&nbsp; But of course I never tried a pair on yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victorias-secret-no-boyfriends#post-1154634 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 23:24:07 +0000 Catnip 1154634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two pairs of BFs that I love, but guess what?&nbsp; They're not really boyfriends.&nbsp; They are straight legged jeans sized up one size.&nbsp; They are slightly loose in the waist (my biggest part) but there's no way they could actually slip down.&nbsp; I had them hemmed really long so I can wear them unrolled with lots of&nbsp;slouch.&nbsp; And of course I can wear them rolled up.&nbsp; </p> <p>I have very thin thighs and flat hips, and real boyfriends look ridiculous on me.&nbsp; As your son said, "They just look like they don't fit."&nbsp; I suggest you try straight legged jeans or skinnies sized up.&nbsp; And don't give up.&nbsp; It took me forever to find mine.</p> <p>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victorias-secret-no-boyfriends#post-1154619 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 23:02:59 +0000 April 1154619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know, Angie -- I'm so sorry to disappoint you. &nbsp;But these just don't give that cute boyfriend vibe on me. &nbsp;Nothing&nbsp;like this:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/clothing/denim-a/the-vs-boyfriend-jean?ProductID=130121&amp;CatalogueType=OLS">http://www.victoriassecret.com.....alogueType</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>The ones recommended by Aquamarine may work, though&nbsp;-- the inseam is only 25", so the rolling should be more feasible. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victorias-secret-no-boyfriends#post-1154610 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 22:51:19 +0000 April 1154610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aquamarine -- those might be just the thing! &nbsp;And they still have the size I would need. &nbsp;Thank you for that suggestion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victorias-secret-no-boyfriends#post-1154600 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 22:42:27 +0000 Angie 1154600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*very sad face* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victorias-secret-no-boyfriends#post-1154598 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 22:40:32 +0000 April 1154598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I do like you anyway, Angie. &nbsp;</p> <p>But I don't like these jeans on me. &nbsp;:(</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victorias-secret-no-boyfriends#post-1154592 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 22:37:19 +0000 Aquamarine 1154592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, take a look at Jag Jeans Skinny Boyfriend. I have 3 pairs and prefer their loose-yet-fitted style. They were on sale too at 6pm.com last time I checked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victorias-secret-no-boyfriends#post-1154575 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 22:10:51 +0000 Angie 1154575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahem. You are describing just how BF jeans <b>should</b> fit. I want to see them on.&nbsp;</p> <p>I know I can be very demanding. But you like me anyway, April. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victorias-secret-no-boyfriends#post-1154570 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 22:03:16 +0000 Anonymous 1154570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your title should go Into the YLF Hall of fame:).<br /> Not sure if they are really boyfriends but I have had good luck sizing up in skinny jeans. For example getting size 6 in Kut from the Kloth instead of my usual size 2. I think skinny jeans can be rolled more easily than straight ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victorias-secret-no-boyfriends#post-1154568 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 22:01:22 +0000 April 1154568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, yes -- the issue of DH and the rear view. &nbsp;Know it well. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victorias-secret-no-boyfriends#post-1154561 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 21:55:42 +0000 Sara L. 1154561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, mine were regular women's Levi's. &nbsp;I just made sure I bought them looser than normal. &nbsp;Not really BF, just not super snug. &nbsp;Like Emily says, they are more a&nbsp;nod to the style. &nbsp;I don't like&nbsp;the super slouchy look on me&nbsp;since the "rear view" is important to me (and DH). &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victorias-secret-no-boyfriends#post-1154553 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 21:46:52 +0000 Suz 1154553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am useless with the leads, but I laughed out loud at the title of this post! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victorias-secret-no-boyfriends#post-1154550 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 21:44:40 +0000 Mo 1154550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>funny story, I used to love my ex's Levi's until I split the thigh seam (oops!) in the mid to late&nbsp;90's. &nbsp;They were looser everywhere but somehow held in my upper thighs 'just so'. &nbsp;Must have been how they formed on his thin frame over years of wear. &nbsp;Looked for years for a similar fit and never found them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victorias-secret-no-boyfriends#post-1154542 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 21:40:29 +0000 April 1154542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Emily, that might be exactly what I need -- not the real deal, but a nod to the style. &nbsp;That could be perfect. &nbsp;</p> <p>And hee hee -- for laughs, I just tried on my son's jeans. &nbsp;As tall and skinny as he is, it was like standing in a flower pot. &nbsp;Those boys just have different proportions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victorias-secret-no-boyfriends#post-1154530 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 21:33:16 +0000 Emily 1154530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Mo, I bought "boyfriend" jeans with a much slimmer cut than a true bf. &nbsp;More a nod to the style than anything...<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-one-last-fling">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....last-fling</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://jeanmachine.com/product/womens/203/silver-jeans-l4016ssr459-suki-capri-dark-wash-26">http://jeanmachine.com/product.....rk-wash-26</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victorias-secret-no-boyfriends#post-1154527 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 21:30:31 +0000 April 1154527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara L -- we cross posted. &nbsp;Did you just buy regular women's Levis? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victorias-secret-no-boyfriends#post-1154524 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 21:29:36 +0000 April 1154524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Mo. &nbsp;I don't think BFs will ever be my go-to jeans so I was hoping to find a pair that weren't an investment. &nbsp;</p> <p>Actually, I have a teenaged boy upstairs -- I suppose I could just borrow his jeans. &nbsp;If they're going to look big and schlumpy, might as well be free! &nbsp;:)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victorias-secret-no-boyfriends#post-1154520 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 21:23:11 +0000 Sara L. 1154520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad they don't work. &nbsp;I hope you find something that works for you. &nbsp;Like Mo, I also went for a slimmer BF jean. &nbsp;Mine are Levi's straight leg jeans, which, unfortunately, still don't fit so I don't have any recent photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victorias-secret-no-boyfriends#post-1154515 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 21:18:13 +0000 Mo 1154515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I go for a much slimmer BF cut than a lot here (thighs, always the thighs) and it seems to work for me. &nbsp;Have you tried the True Religion Cameron in a size down? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victorias-secret-no-boyfriends#post-1154507 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 21:02:41 +0000 April 1154507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blah. &nbsp;The VS Boyfriend jeans arrived today and they're not for me. &nbsp;</p> <p>They just look schlumpy on my short legs. &nbsp;Too long, too loose in the top, rise too low.</p> <p>My son said it pretty well: "They just look like they don't fit." &nbsp;</p> <p>The whole slouchy boyfriend chic is just a look I think I'm going to have to let pass.&nbsp; On me, it might be better to get a regular, ankle-length&nbsp;straight leg or a sized-up ankle skinny&nbsp;and roll it up. </p>
