Yep, it’s a boyfriend jeans kind of day. Don’t be shocked, I actually wear denim lot more than you see on the blog – especially this year! 🙂 To be transparent, my full-time job has a very casual office vibe, and 99.9% of employees tend to wear denim on the daily. Now that we’re managing the pandemic and working from home, I tend to gravitate towards joggers and casual attire. Rest assured, I’d wear a ballgown to every day if it was acceptable, but for the past 10 years, my denim collection has grown.
How to Style Boyfriend Jeans
Boyfriend jeans are a great option for a 2020 work vibe. They’re effortless, easy, comfortable, slightly oversized, and very versatile. I love the way they can be dressed up and dressed down. Pair them with a sweater, a blazer or moto jacket, puff sleeved top, and you’re set!
I only own a few pairs of this style, and frankly – I don’t think you need more than 1-2 of them. The key is finding ones that you like and that will stand the test of time. Often, you’ll see a bunch of distressed and ripped boyfriend jean styles.
For me, I prefer a more timeless pair of relaxed options that won’t feel trendy or too young. My favorite style is this version. They’re SO comfy and fit true to size. I also have this style by FRAME and love darker wash (I found they run slightly large).
When styling boyfriend jeans, I love to add a few feminine touches for balance. A classic stiletto pump is the perfect juxtaposition for the relaxed fit of the pant. These pumps are absolutely worth the splurge and this brand has stylish yet affordable-ish alternatives. Lastly, you can’t ever go wrong pairing boyfriend jeans with a statement jacket or classic sweater or striped top.
