How To Wear Boyfriend Jeans In Winter
Mix up your downtime outfits during the colder months by swapping your skinnies for boyfriend jeans in winter. As the outfit above shows, they look great worn with black tops and coats, but are also versatile enough to wear with a mac on those cold wet days.
How To Wear Boyfriend Jeans In Summer
Although boyfriend jeans have a straight cut leg, almost all styles have tapered hems, making them perfect for rolling up in summer. The high waist fit will complement bodysuits and crop tops alike, with just a pair of espadrilles or sandals needed to complete the look.
How To Dress Up Boyfriend Jeans
With the addition of a tailored blazer, sharp accessories and pointed shoes you can offset the slouchiness of boyfriend jeans to dress them up for the office. Choosing the right shoes and tailored separates is vital, as you need to create contrast for the look to work. From winter through to spring, checkout the outfits below for more inspiration on how to dress up boyfriend jeans all-year round.
How To Wear Boyfriend Jeans With Trainers
The slightly retro vibe of boyfriend jeans lends them to being worn with classic trainers like Adidas Stan Smiths or Superstars. Canvas plimsolls like Vans or Converse also work well, but always opt for low tops over high top styles. Then add a slogan tee and layer with a biker jacket or bomber when the temperature drops.
How To Wear Boyfriend Jeans With Boots
Unlike with some other styles of jeans, when it comes to boyfriend jeans you've only really got one style of boots to choose from – ankle boots. The non-skinny cut makes wearing them with anything taller an absolute no-no, which means knee high boots and wellies are definitely out. For sartorial success, opt for a cropped cut and wear your boyfriend jeans with heeled ankle boots.
How To Wear Boyfriend Jeans With Heels
The contrast of sleek heels with relaxed-fitting boyfriend jeans creates an absolutely killer look that will elevate your off-duty outfits to new heights. Try blush stilettos for stunning springtime outfits, while heeled sandals should be your go to style during the summer months.
