The term “Boyfriend Jeans” has become the talk of the town ever since Katie Holmes walked out in a baggy pair. As the new trend is slowly making its way to the runways, replacing the row-rise skinnies enroute, big-butted women from all across the globe are heaving a sigh of relief and keeping their fingers crossed. On the other hand, the floppy, oversized look has invited brickbats from the “propah” fashion brigade with designers like Tim Gunn mouthing his disapproval for this untrendy trend.
Fashion gurus from the world over whether a commoner can carry off this look with panache. I mean, Katie Holmes is Katie Holmes but how about an average woman walking around in a pair that ACTUALLY belongs to her boyfriend/husband? “Faux Pas”, you might scream. Contrary to the notion and the name, a “boyfriend jean” does not have to literally belong to a boyfriend. These pairs are specially designed keeping the female form in mind and are fitted at the hip but relaxed along the leg. Boot-cuts and flares do not work well with this look as the jean needs to be folded at the bottom to give out the “oversized” message along with a little glimpse of the ankle. Boyfriend Jeans can be paired with tomboyish vests, tees and feminine tops. The idea is to choose a clingy or fitted top so that you don’t go overboard with the “baggy” thing.
Several brands and stores have already come up with their own versions of the Boyfriend Jeans. These jeans are high on comfort, fun and style – a combination that you rarely come across. Grab one while the trend lasts!
