The best kind of boyfriend (jeans)

Skinny jeans, it’s time to meet your match. Enter: the boyfriend jean. 

In case you just happened to miss one of the biggest fashion trends this fall, the boyfriend jean has stepped on the scene as a form of backlash against the skinny jean.

You see, where skinny jeans are tight and fitted from your butt to your ankles, boyfriend jeans take a different approach to molding to your beautiful body. 

Boyfriend jeans, as their name implies, are meant to look as though you had borrowed jeans from your man (and here at indiDenim, we fully support stealing clothes from your significant other). And although they don’t necessarily have to be hijacked from your bf, they must be loose and relaxed all around.

Now here’s the key. Boyfriend jeans combine the best of comfort and style, but since this jean is designed to look two sizes too big, you must be careful not to end up looking disheveled and frumpy. 

So pair your best pair of boyfriends with a cute T or sweater and your favorite heels or ballet flats. Add a scarf, and you and your boyfriend jeans (sans boyfriend) are set for a lovely fall afternoon at the farmer’s market or, of course, a therapeutic trip to the mall.

But before we go, we need your input. You see, we’ve been a bit torn about the boyfriend jean since it made its debut. indiDenim is all about *perfect* fitting jeans, and given that the boyfriend jean is pretty much the antithesis of your perfect fitting pair, what’s a custom jean company to do?

So we’re asking you! What do you think? Should we break down and add it to the line up? Or should we hold our ground and stand by the denim ideals we’ve grown up with? Leave your comments and help us decide!

Oh, please, NO!!!  This trend is just toooo trendy and by the time the jeans are custom-made, hopefully it will all go away.  These look just plain disgusting.  IMHO.

PLEASE add this to the line up!  Every girl needs a comfy pair of jeans to lounge around in, and I for one am SICK of always having to wear skin-tight jeans—this is a welcomed trend!   If indiDenim doesn’t add this to the line up the company will lose money from their customers (as we will go someplace else to buy them if YOU don’t offer them).

NO WAY!!!!  Boyfriend jeans are gross.  Anything that can make the likes of Halle Berry, and Katie Holmes look unattractive, disheveled, and downright frumpy does not deserve a place in the IndiDenim lineup.  Girls that want them can buy a pair of jeans for their boyfriend and wear those.  Whoever said jeans have to be two sizes too big (or look that way) to be comfortable?
