Boyfriend Jeans Blog Posts

Thank you for using the Apparel Search website. In this section of the fashion guide you will find blog posts published on the Apparel Search fashion blog about boyfriend jeans. Boyfriend jeans are women's jeans cut with a relaxed, slouchy fit — as if borrowed from a boyfriend's wardrobe, though they are made and sold for women — and they were the defining denim silhouette of the early 2010s. This page is the blog post index for the topic on Apparel Search.

About Boyfriend Jeans

The posts collected here are the trend in three sightings. Gwyneth Paltrow in STRÖM Brand pairs the celebrity with the Los Angeles denim label that specialized in the fit. Elle Fanning In Boyfriend Jeans Again is a repeat-wear post — the word again is the story, since boyfriend jeans were photographed on the same wearers week after week as an off-duty uniform. Trendy Boyfriend Jeans 2014 is the season's roundup, published when the style was at its commercial peak. A fourth post from the source index pointed to a Blogger editing address rather than a public post page; it is documented in this build's inventory and is not carried as a listing.

The boyfriend fit is a construction: a lower rise than women's skinny styles of the same years, a relaxed seat and thigh, and a leg that tapers enough to roll at the cuff. Worn with heels the slouch reads deliberate; worn with sneakers it reads borrowed. The contrast with the skinny jean is the whole point — after a decade of tight denim, the boyfriend jean sold looseness as the luxury. Readers comparing fits will find the women's boyfriend jeans guide, the general jeans guides for women and men, and the denim and jeans definition pages in the topic block below.

Styling decides whether the fit reads as fashion. The standard presentation in these years was a double roll at the cuff showing the ankle, a belt to hold the lower rise where it belongs, and a contrast on top — a fitted top, a blazer or heels — so the looseness looks chosen rather than accidental. Women's boyfriend jeans are also cut differently from actual men's jeans: the waist is shaped, the hip allowed for, and the leg tapered, which is why borrowed jeans rarely fit the way the made-for-women version does.
