If you didn’t get into the boyfriend jeans trend over spring and summer, you can still jump on the bandwagon for fall. Most of the basic remain the same, with a few adjustments for the change of weather, and the focus is still on a comfortable fit.
Here’s a few tips to take the trend into fall:
Look for a loose, baggy cut. They should be nicely broken in, so don’t overlook shopping at a vintage or thrift shop – or grabbing a pair from your best guy’s closet. The focus is on a soft, comfortable fit – like you’ve worn them for years and they feel even better with every wearing. This style is a lot more forgiving than skinny jeans, and is flattering on most body types.
Check out the look from behind. Just because they’re a loose fit doesn’t mean they should sag in the rear. Choose a pair that makes your butt look good. If you’re a bit curvy in that part of the body, boyfriend jeans could be a perfect choice for you. With the looser cut through the rear and thighs, there should be enough room for all of you.
Straight leg. No boot, no flare. Roll them up less for fall than you did for spring. If the weather stays warm, take them up a little higher if you’d like, but if it’s rainy fall weather, much higher than the ankle will look out of place.
Wear with nearly any kind of shoe. Boots and heels give one look, sandals and flip flops another. Pair your heel to the occasion and strut your stuff.
High rise or low rise. Choose a rise that works for your body type. Whether you prefer a higher rise or lower, the emphasis should be on the casual silhouette, not where the waist hits.
Balance on top. Wear with a girly top and offset the guy-ish look with something feminine and flirty, or a body hugging sweater that shows off your curves on top. Look for a top that balances the look out, and doesn’t look too loose and casual on both top and bottom.
