I Am Certain These Anti-Trend Jeans Will Always Look Chic

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.
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.
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.
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.
You, too, will do a double take when you pass a mirror in these jeans. Do you see how long her legs look?
