How To Wear Boyfriend Jeans
Remember that boyfriend jeans size 16 or otherwise are meant to be slightly baggy and deconstructed. If you try on a pair that's tight (everywhere) then you need a larger size - be honest and head back to the rails.
If your curves are related to your butt, remember that 'too baggy' won't give support. You need to find a happy medium. Also, they should feel comfortable from the outset - that's the point of the style in the first place.
Team the perfect pair with a loose, girly top - tunic or long-shirt style. Don't allow the top to end below the hip, otherwise you'll drown the overall look of the jeans.
You can wear boyfriend jeans with any style of shoe, from flats to pumps to boots. Turn them up or wear them long, depending upon your footwear and the weather conditions.
Consider teaming them with a fitted soft knit, or layering for a more relaxed look - there's some great skinny knits, cardigans and jersey tops about at the moment.
If you do turn up the hem, keep the cuffs messy looking. Don't go to the trouble of ironing the cuffs flat ... way too conservative when it comes to boyfriend jeans!
Golden rule: if you're over 35, dress accordingly. Otherwise you'll either look like you're trying too hard or worse ... look like overdressed mutton!
