I love a great pair of jeans. Who doesn’t right? But sometimes it’s not easy to find the right fit, style or wash. I found a few ways that help me narrow down the search in what can seem like an overwhelming task.
For the last few months, I have been on the hunt for a great pair of boyfriend jeans. I’ve seen numerous Pins and styles on Instagram, that I felt like I needed to pull the trigger. I found these (size down) on sale from J Crew and loved the color and distressing. However, I was so worried about the fit. I mean, saggy jeans? Is this a thing? Before buying, I did a little research. I know, who has time for that…but I actually enjoy researching clothes and reviews before making a purchase (I got that from my husband who makes me research everything before buying. I used to be annoyed, but now, I’ve grown to appreciate it. ha!) Reading reviews is essential when ordering online. They can be so helpful when it comes to sizing, fit and overall quality.
It’s important to find a pair of boyfriend jeans that are flattering. I’ve see some that are so baggy that the whole look just felt sloppy. I liked that these were more fitted, but still stood true to the “boyfriend style”. I also love the distressing on the front. After receiving the jeans, I wear them all the time (here, here, here, here). Honestly, I’m not even sure if I can even pull off the whole “boyfriend jean trend” but I love them anyway. I realized that I wear them enough, I might as well try a darker wash and maybe a slimmer fit. After doing my research, I decided to order these Slim Boyfriend Jeans from Joe’s Jeans. I am so happy with my purchase.
I’ve found that boyfriend jeans look great with almost anything. I’ve worn mine with a white v neck tee, scarf and sneakers, similar to this style or with an oversized sweater and heels seen here. These are definitely a closet staple that I will wear from season to season.

Thanks for taking the headache out of finding the perfect jean! I too am uber fussy when it comes to finding a pair that fit perfectly. Once I find them though, I’m faithful till the end. Lovely pics by the way.
