I have skinny jeans, I have MIH flares ... but

I don't have any boyfriend jeans. Having seen beautiful foreign language students walking around in them this summer, and older people like Gwyneth Paltrow, I think I could possibly rock them with slouchy t-shirts, bretons and sweaters as looser, off-duty jeans. But boyfriend jeans are a completely unknown quantity to me: I went from boot cut to skinny.
I am a size 8 (which I've never been before) and was thinking of something like this, for the ankle-baring prospect: www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Ripped-Vintage-Boyfriend-Jean-13/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1378462&cid=11309&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Vintage+blue
But wonder if they'll be nice and soft.
Also, are boyfriend jeans already over? I am so out of touch it would be good if you could enlighten me, I would hope to get a couple of seasons wear out of these.

I'm also size 8 and wear next boyfriend jeans. I really hope they're not over - the shops are full of them so presumably anything goes atm Wink yes to the slouchy tees with them. They look good. I like a nice belt on them...just my "thing"!
You go rock 'em, girl Smile

Lol at older people like Gwyneth Paltrow. She's 39...

Have seen lots of boyfriend on stylish women in Italy in the past weeks - go for them!

I like the gap sexy boyfriend jeans - they're just a little bit narrower in the leg, which is more flattering if you aren't v tall (like me)

Those Asos ones look nice though!

I second gap sexy boyfriend too, they're a great fit and comfy too

scripsi · 17/09/2012 17:08

Numberlock - I meant people older than the beautiful 19 year old language students I've seen looking gorgeous in them older like me risking the mutton look

Faustina, wheresthecake am going to check out the gap sexy boyfriend jeans

DonaAna thanks! what were the stylish women in Italy wearing on their feet with boyfriend jeans?

Hmmm on the US gap site the sexy boyfriend jeans are available in petite, not on the UK site. Asos have the boyfriend jeans in petite length so that might swing it ...

Mrsshrek3 the Next boyfriend jeans look good too, though I'd prefer something more cropped I think, but will check them out.

the regular gap ones are pretty short scripsi - 27" I think - it should say on their website. If you go for the ASOS ones, do come back and say how they are

noddyholder · 17/09/2012 18:47

I have teh gap ones they are great and I am old!

MorrisZapp · 17/09/2012 18:50

What actually are boyfriend jeans?

LaVitaBellissima · 17/09/2012 18:53

I really like those asos ones Smile

scripsi · 17/09/2012 22:01

hmmm faustina, I think that those gap ones are probably a good length then: I like that the gap sexy boyfriends have some stretch, whereas the asos don't (I am so used to stretch now).

I'm going to order both and then let you know ...
