The boyfriend jean is a baggy or slouchy jean with a messy cuff.
Basically, you’re trying to look like you effortlessly picked up your boyfriend’s ill-fitting jeans off the floor, cuffed them so they don’t drag the ground, and then confidently walked out the door. As if.
Pulling off this chic look is certainly not effortless, but it can be done, no matter your shape or size.
Now boyfriend jeans come in all sorts of varieties- cropped, ankle, girlfriend, slim-fit, skinny, distressed, etc., which means anyone can find a flattering fit.

what is the best way to wear them if you very short and heavy legged. i’m 5’2 and all my weight is in my stubby legs
You’ll definitely want a skinnier fit, relaxed through hip and thigh, rather than baggy, with a tapered leg. You will likely have to get hemmed or find a shorter inseam (torrid often has “short” versions of their jeans). And you want the cuff to be at or just above the ankle (longer is better). If you’re comfortable in heels or wedges, they’ll add some height too.
I love your style!! After browsing (stalking) all of your posts I noticed that you have a tendency to use pieces more than once. Could you do a post on wardrobe staples?
Thank you! That’s a great idea. I will work on it. Thanks for the suggestion!
