Where is my boyfriend?

Oh NO! I am not desperate for men or anything like that. *smirk*

I was referring to the latest trend that is going on now. That is to wear all of your boyfriend's outfits. Well, if you do not have one like me, just go to any men's outlet and get one for yourself! 

I have never been very feminine when it comes to my fashion sense. I like to wear pants, men shirts, vest, etc, looking like men but with long hair and women assets to look smart! I like to look sleek and stylish like men. I love men's fashion! And I will let a little secret - I used to wear a lot of my papa's shirts! :) Oh! And with my asset (elephant legs) I'd have to wear pants to cover them up! (If you know what I mean?)

I have actually came over the term "boyfriend" jeans a few months ago and I absolutely love the idea. It is more comfortable comparing to those skinny jeans. I actually tried a pair from Lee's warehouse sale and I was thinking of getting them. It was just $50! Then, I got put off by my mama because she said it looked baggy on me. (I thought that was the idea?)

Apparently, there are rules to wear your "boyfriend's" jeans. Here they are....

How To Wear The Boyfriend Jeans Trend

There are a few simple rules to follow, and some even simpler choices to make:

  • Choice: The jeans don't have be your boyfriends. Not because you mightn't have one, but because you're soon going to be able to find jeans made for women that channel the look. But if you're after real authenticity hit your local denim store and shop in the men's section. Holmes herself is wearing jeans by PRPS.
  • Choice: If you are going to buy a pair, don't feel the need to buy new. A vintage pair from your local charity shop will have more authenticity.
  • Rule: Look for a straight leg. Bootcut or flared jeans aren't in the least bit flattering for this trend.
  • Rule: Turn them up at the bottom. Remember, this is a Spring-Summer 2009 look so you're not going to get cold from a bit of exposed ankle. And you're not going to communicate the 'oversized' message unless your jeans are turned up.
  • Rule: When you do turn up the bottom of the jeans, they have to sit just above the ankle.
  • Choice: Yes, all the celebrities in the above photos have gone for jeans which include the2009's ripped jeans trend. You don't have to.
  • Choice: Consider what you're going to pair them with. One thing Kate Holmes did get right most of the time was to pair her boyfriend jeans with an overall feminine look. That's the one I'm preferential to; there is nothing, however, stopping you from pairing it with a tight fitting tee or hoody and really playing up the masculine role.
  • Rule: If you do choose to pair your boyfriend jeans with other masculine pieces make them tight. You have to show off your feminine features otherwise you'll come off looking like a bum or, worse, a stoner.

Duh! I thought you're searching for your boyfriend when I read the title! haha!

I'm not a fashion kind of guy so I'm not aware that some of the jeans worn by the gals are their "boyfriends"! I only know that some gals do wear their boyfriends' shirt as their pyjamas. haha.

I like how Jennifer Aniston wear. She certainly looks good with her boyfriend jeans. :D

Let me see... I guess that boyfriend shirt going to pair up well with the boyfriend jeans! It sure has a different kind of feel. Go get yourself a pair! Somemore, you can do charity at the same time! One stone hit two birds. kakaka!

Oh yeah, why are you not into fashion? You're so good with fashion! Wrong career lah you! haha!

Hmm....I actually thought of that but what can i do? designing? Nah! I was thinking more like doing shopping for people? You know? Like you could travel around the world and hand pick clothing for celebrities, etc? :)
