How to wearBoyfriend Jeans

There are a few simple rules to follow, and some even simpler choices to make:

  • Rule: Look for a straight leg. Bootcut or flared jeans aren't in the least bit flattering for this trend.
  • Rule: Turn them up at the bottom. Remember, this is a Spring-Summer 2009 look so you're not going to get cold from a bit of exposed ankle. And you're not going to communicate the 'oversized' message unless your jeans are turned up.
  • Rule: When you do turn up the bottom of the jeans, they have to sit just above the ankle.
  • Choice: Consider what you're going to pair them with. One thing Kate Holmes did get right most of the time was to pair her boyfriend jeans with an overall feminine look. That's the one I'm preferential to; there is nothing, however, stopping you from pairing it with a tight fitting tee or hoody and really playing up the masculine role.
