Boyfriend jeans are cute and comfortable jeans that look a little loose and worn, like your boyfriend's pants if you borrow them. Despite the masculine name, this type of jeans can still add a feminine touch to almost any outfit, and you can look stylish and comfortable by combining these pants. What you need to do when wearing boyfriend jeans is to choose a pair that suits you and you like and combine it with various types of tops. If you want to know how to wear boyfriend jeans, follow these steps.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Choosing the Right Pair of Jeans
Step 1. Choose worn jeans
If you want to wear so-called boyfriend jeans, and want them to fit you so they look like the pants you borrowed from your boyfriend -- meaning they don't look new, choose jeans that are tufted, faded, or have some stains on them. Jeans should look a little worn, even if you just bought them.
Do not exaggerate. Your jeans may look a little worn but not messy, outdated, or look like they should be donated or thrown away
Step 2. Choose by women's size
Even though boyfriend jeans look a little too big and look like they can be worn by men, they're not really made for men's sizes. If you buy a men's size, it will be too loose, too big at the waist, and the cut will not be the same on the front and back.
Be sure not to wear jeans in men's sizes, even buy them, or borrow them from your boyfriend
Step 3. Consider the cut of the jeans
Although boyfriend jeans are usually below the waist, you can also buy them mid-waist or above-the-waist. This cut depends on your body type. If you have a wide waist, then you should use a piece of jeans in the middle of the waist or above the waist so that the waist does not stand out at the top. But if your body is relatively straight or thin, then a cut below the waist can help make your body look more shaped.
- Even though these pants are made to look a little bulky and worn, that doesn't mean they don't fit your body. The size of a good boyfriend jeans should be enough at the waist, be it a cut below the waist, mid-waist, or above the waist.
- These jeans should be loose at your feet, but not too loose.
Step 4. Consider the color scheme of the jeans
You can find a variety of colors for boyfriend jeans, from light blue to dark blue. For the most part, dark tones are more stylish and formal than light tones. Jeans with dark tones are better for formal occasions, and mature women are better suited to wearing them.
- Jeans with dark patterns are also less flashy and make your boss more noticeable.
- You can also use pants that have a bright color if you prefer.
Step 5. Choose quality jeans
You can not call a quality jeans just by looking at the price. But unfortunately, well-known brands sometimes sell low-quality jeans at high prices. So how do you find good boyfriend jeans? Try this way:
- Check the strength of the seams. Good sewing jeans use a strong and thick thread.
- Check the material of the jeans. Quality jeans have heavy and strong materials. But if maybe you like jeans with lightweight materials, chances are they are not made of quality materials.
Step 6. Considerations in folding the hem of the pants
Some boyfriend jeans can be purchased with the ends folded, or you can fold them yourself. You can cut a pair of jeans that are long to the length of a normal jeans size, or you can cut jeans of a normal length to a size 3/4 below your knee, so you can show the ankles and the area underneath. Jeans with folded ends will look good and attractive.
Step 7. Consider wearing a belt
Boyfriend jeans are popular using a belt. Besides being useful for tightening around the waist, a belt can also help you look solid with jeans. While there's nothing wrong with the belt model, there are a few things you should keep in mind
- Your belt should match your shoes. It doesn't always have to be the same color, but don't clash. For example, if you have brown shoes, your belt should be brown, not black.
- Brown belt goes well with this type of jeans. You can choose a thin belt for a stylish look or a thicker one for a more attractive look.
- If you want to show your abs, wearing a belt can show more attention to this area.
