Favorite boyfriend cut jeans?

fashionforward · Nine West

I love the look of boyfriend jeans! They look so cute with heels or booties. I am usually a skinny jeans-only girl, but I tried on the "Tomboy" boyfriend jeans from CAbi Clothing and I thought they fit really well and were so comfortable. I'm starting to think I need to step away from the skinny and try out something new. What other styles have you been buying lately?

I like Gap's and I think they come in a few different colors/washes now.

I just noticed the LE canvas boyfriends last night while looking through the catalog and thought they were cute. I know you didn't like the tapered leg but how were they otherwise? Also, have you tried the Abercrombie ones? Also, there's J Crew and Madewell. I haven't tried these myself but this thread has me thinking I should get some. I, too, wear skinny jeans all the time and need a change.

Except for the leg opening- I quite liked the LE canvas jeans alb, I was dissapointed when they didnt quite work out! The only other thing that worried me about them is that the larger the size, the farther apart the rear pockets. I tried on 2 sizes (29/30) and the size 30 pockets seemed unusually far apart, making my rear look extra huge! But the 29s looked great.

any more recs out there anyone? Im amassing a "try on" list
