It's almost hilarious how late I am to the boyfriend jeans trend. Sort of akin to arriving at the new year's eve party at 12:45 or something...but in spite of all I've read on the subject, I still need your help to determine if this style is viable for me and if so how I can best wear it.

When Angie literally orders me to pick up a certain style of clothing, I generally do it. She has, after all, been single-handedly responsible for some of my favourite wardrobe items of all time. So when she insisted that I needed to own the famous Kut Catherines effective yesterday and even tracked down a vendor that delivered to Canada, I pulled the trigger.

So here they are, and for the first time in a long while, I'm totally at sea. Mhy primary evaluation technique for an item of clothing is to assess how the fit feels on my body.

Since the boyfriend jean silhouette is brand new to me, I have no clue if it's hitting in the right spots, if the obvious bagginess is supposed to be there or not, if the hems are supposed to be more tapered than they are, etc. They're undeniably comfortable, but I'm not sure if that's because they're fitting me just right or because I went one size too big.

The other aspect that's throwing me for a loop is the rise. I haven't worn hip-slung pants since I was quite a lot thinner, and for good reason - high rises make me feel less inclined to start a rival site called YouLookFlab. :p As a result, I have contradictory instincts vying for dominance in my head. One side of my brain tells me that the slouchy, loose-fitting pants demand shorter tops for maximum flattery. The other side balks at the notion and wants to gravitate towards longer tops, using the old argument that bf jeans are essentially just more relaxed straight-legs and should be treated accordingly.

So, I turn to the many Catherine veterans here for guidance. Please sort me out?
