Last week, I mentioned how boyfriend jeans can help create an "androgynous" look HERE, so for this post, I'm basically going to talk about its trend in fashion.
Seemingly, boyfriend jeans have been on and off in trend since 2008 though, and noticeably haven't totally gone off fashion radar.

Boyfriend jeans are basically baggy, slouchy and oversized in nature, giving the impression that you are wearing a man's pair of jeans, but fitted and more structured at the waist for a female's body.
They are often rolled up at the ankles and the leg opening is less baggy in order to be tailored to fit the curvier shape of a woman.
They also tend to flatter thicker legs and thighs.
A boyfriend jean can be uber stylish, and very comfy when worn, thus basically giving you a relaxed and chic vibe; a casual but trendy vibe.
Definitely not just for tomboys alone, boyfriend jeans are very versatile in nature, meaning they can be paired with a myriad of tops. So, depending on which top you choose to style your boyfriend jeans with, you can transform your look from sporty to girly; formal to informal.
So yes you can definitely wear your boyfriend jeans to work too.
Because distressed and ripped denims are very much in trend right now, most boyfriend jeans come with a respectable number of small rips and tears, and you can definitely choose between a distressed or ripped denim or a more polished style anyway, depending on your personal choice.
If you would like a ripped pair of boyfriend jeans, you can either buy them off the rack like that, or use a pair of scissors to do it yourself.
Did I mention wearing a pair of heels with your boyfriend jeans, can help give it a feminine look/feel?
MORE QUICK TIPS
- A great way to dress up a classic pair of boyfriend jeans, is to pair with a blazer, to give it an "official/formal" vibe
- In selecting appropriate boyfriend jeans cut for your body; the best leg shape for curvy girls, is a straight cut boyfriend jeans. If you want to accentuate your hips a little, or create a fashion statement, then opt for the skinny leg style.
- Wider and super baggy jeans are best suited for taller body frames.
- If you have full/short legs, make sure to select simplest boyfriend jeans with minimal but vertical rips. Add heels if possible, to create the illusion of longer legs, and definitely avoid the super baggy jeans style.
- If you have thick ankles, avoid turning the bottom of the jeans too much, so as to avoid attention drawn to them.
- Also don't forget as mentioned above, that boyfriend jeans tend to flatter thicker legs and thighs.
