Boyfriend jeans will always be in style, but with trends like low-rise and Y2K on the loose, let it be known that you're going to be seeing boyfriend jeans everywhere this summer. So what exactly are boyfriend jeans? Contrary to what it may sound like, you don't have to steal from a man in your life to get this look. Any mid-to low-rise pair of jeans that is a bit baggy will get you started on the right track. Any type of distress is a bonus here, and always look for a wide leg.
My favourite way to wear boyfriend jeans is with a loose and oversized top. In spring, let that be a lightweight knit. As things warm up, it can be fun to shock people by pairing baggy bottoms with a tight cropped top (like I did last weekend). Scroll on to see the many ways that fashion people are wearing them and my current favourite pairs.
This oversized look is legendary, so I plan on copying it ASAP. Since this style runs a bit longer, I love seeing it paired with a micro-heel to keep it from dragging around too much.
This is the perfect pair to start with if you're just easing into baggy jeans.
I'm obsessed with low-rise, and these would be so flattering when you style them right.
So easy and chic.
The split hem adds an extra 90s appeal.
I love the bunching at the ankle.
White pairs of boyfriend jeans will be a must-have in every fashion person's closet this summer. The opportunities are endless.
Double up on denim.
A distressed pair is a must.
I'm all about whiskering.
Now these are cute.
Lana Del Rey said it best: "Blue jeans, white shirt." It's the perfect combo for summer, and I'll be having this look on repeat.
I truly haven't stopped thinking about this pair of jeans.
Zara knows how to make good jeans.
Yes please!
I love the subtle distress.
Perfectly styled with a leather blazer.
This trend is for everyone, so don't be afraid to test-drive it at any age. Adding a polished cardigan can make it feel more dressed up.
I'm obsessed.
All about the bagginess here.
I need to make these mine.
Fashion editor approved.
You, too, will do a double take when you pass a mirror in these jeans. Do you see how long her legs look?
Too good.
Nailed it.
Button me up.
There's a reason this is one of the more popular styles.
