Now is the time to don a pair of boyfriend jeans to rock your effortless summer look. But every time you want to style an outfit there are always DOS and DON’TS to be considered. In this article, we will look at styling a boyfriend jeans and discuss the dos and donts while styling them.
Dos:
- Roll the hem a few inches above your ankle for a cool, laid-back look. Derek Warburton, media entrepreneur, and celebrity stylist recommends, “Boyfriend jeans have a relaxed fit that can quickly become sloppy. Maintain a neat appearance by rolling them loosely to a cropped length. They should be positioned a few inches above your ankle, but this is not a rigid rule. Choose a length that is appropriate for your height and shoe choice. If you are unsure, seek a second opinion from a friend.”
- Pair your boyfriend jeans with a dressy top or sexy shirt. You can balance the entire outfit with a tube top or a glitter off-shoulder top.
- Fire up the edgy factor of your BF jeans with eye-catching garments like a leather jacket, statement shirt, and ankle boots.
- Try your jeans with a tucked-in denim shirt for that elegant aura.
- Throw on white sneakers with your boyfriend’s jeans and pair them with a cute crop top. You can also go for pumps or classy stilettos to create ’the legs illusion.’
- Match your jeans with black or loose white tees. Keep the sleeves rolled to echo your rolled hems.
- Try a sloppy-joe top or sailor-striped boat-neck top with your jeans to boost things a little.
- Oversized jackets and flat shoes are a great cover-ups for cooler evenings without going off track from the overall theme.
- Choose an off-shoulder floral top with gypsy ruffles or a body-hugging halter-neck crop top to accentuate your feminine curves.
Don’ts:
- Do not leave your shirt untucked. If you are not comfortable tucking in your shirt, do a half-tuck. Leave the back hanging out for a chic, street-style look.
- Do not forget the belt; otherwise, your jeans will appear sagging. Instead, wear your boyfriend jeans with a classy belt for the perfect fit.
- Do not pair your boyfriend jeans with loose and oversized tops.
- Do not buy boyfriend jeans that are too tight. Remember, this kind of bottom wear is meant to be slouchy.
- Do not wear boyfriend jeans with flannel and show skin. Jeans that are unbelievably ripped and paired with extremely tight and small tops do not look attractive.
- Avoid the ’flattening’ effect. Be careful with the accessories and other pieces you use to compose the look. So, choose tighter blouses and high heel shoes to balance the look.
Kim Hancher suggests what not to wear with boyfriend jeans:
- “Oversized sweater or sweatshirt.”
- “A blouse that doesn’t have structure or skim your body.”
- “Shackets should not be worn with boyfriend jeans.”
- “You want to be careful to show some sign of your waistline and continue to create that hourglass feminine shape.”
