My boyfriend has a habit of wearing his jeans so low that his Calvin Klein underwear gets more of an outing than his shoulders. So much so, that he has the yummy mummys of Queens Park salivating into their cappuccinos. That, my friends is not how to work a boyfriend jean.
The boyfriend jean is fast becoming my skinny jean replacement for the summer. I love the nonchalant, carefree vibe that fellow boyfriend jeans wearers embody. That being said, to preserve one's femininity and sexuality, it does need to be worn with caution.
How to avoid being mistaken for your younger brother Fred?
The feminine top half | Be it a translucent white tee, a sheer organza blouse or a barely there boho top, keeping it feminine on top half neutralises the masculine bottom half. Its a balancing exercise...
Accessorize away |Be it a fabulous piece of costume jewellery (think Zara or my personal favourite Atterley Road), a statement clutch or an intriguing fedora, accessories do wonders to jazz up the sometimes "vanilla" boyfriend jean.
Choose heels over trainers |Trainers with skinny jeans is a sure hit but dare to wear them with boyfriend jeans and the fashion police will be knocking on your door. For the brave amongst you, try stilettos, but colourful, sparkly numbers will also do the job.
Structure is the answer | Unless you have a never-ending torso like Rosie HW or Miranda Kerr, it is advisable to keep it structured on top. For boyfriend jean + tailoring = Kate Moss. It's fashion mathematics...
If all else fails, slap on a wild red lip and you are good to go.
