OOTD: The Boyfriend Jeans

 

Boyfriend Jeans seem to make quiet reoccurring appearances in the fashion limelight and then slowly exit without being really noticed. They certainly haven’t received the attention that skinny jeans caused, nor have they created a buzz like the high waisted jeans. However, if you have an eye for trends, you will have noticed that denim is back. Of course denim has always been a staple piece in all our wardrobes, though this fashion rebirth has brought into style a twist on our street trends – the double denim, the denim colour combo, the distressed denim, the second skin denim, the oversized denim – denim is back, in all cuts and hues! And with its arrival, it has brought back to the scene oversized boyfriend jeans. Some people fear this style due to height, curves or sometimes the fear of looking too masculine holds them back. I personally love the look of them and believe the use of hair, makeup and heels can add the right amount of femininity to soften the overall look.

Today, I decided to wear a simple white vest, leather jacket with khaki sleeves, and Chelsea boots with my boyfriend jeans. The look was rather casual, though I could play around with this to create a smarter, more feminine look with a topknot hairstyle, a playful lip colour, ankle strap heels, oversized clutch bag or a blazer. For a Starbucks run however, I kept my outfit fuss free and simple.
