I don't like the way I look in boyfriend jeans. Is there a similar jean that has a slimmer fit that I could roll up that would give that similar look?Anne
We get it—it can be tricky to find a pair of figure-flattering boyfriend jeans. If you’re either tapped out with hunting down the perfect pair, or don’t love their uber-relaxed fit it’s only natural to find another denim soulmate.
Here are two denim swaps to make for boyfriend jeans!
1. Girlfriend Jeans
This feminine version of the boyfriend is just that: more feminine. Girlfriend jeans are cut to sit higher on the hips and have a slim straight leg fit. Designed to hug your curves, the girlfriend style will emulate the boyfriend style but still show off your shape. Enhance the femme-fatale factor with a floral blouse loosely tucked in and a fab pair of pumps, or go business casual with a printed shell, a structured blazer and flats.
2. Straight Leg Jeans
The versatile straight leg jean fits right in between a boyfriend and girlfriend style—plus a figure-flattering cut that works for almost any body type. Wear them long for a more tailored feel or cuff just above the ankle to get that boyfriend-esque look without the loose fit. Go preppy chic with your straight leg jeans and pair with a striped tee. Add an on-trend canvas sneaker in a vibrant color and finish with a crossbody bag for an effortless casual style.
With these two alternatives, you’re destined to meet your denim match!
