New Ways to Wear Your Boyfriend Jeans

Get more use out of your casual-cool denim

We don’t know about you, but we could pretty much live in our boyfriend jeans. They make any outfit look instantly cool, plus they’re tremendously comfortable. It’s easy to get used to wearing your baggy denim with the same shirt and shoes because you know it looks good, but it’s time to switch things up. With celebrities, bloggers and street style stars all donning the cool-girl jeans, there’s no shortage of styling inspiration for whatever look you’re aiming for. We’re taking notes from the tastemakers below and bringing you the best new boyfriend jeans to shop now.

1. Dress up distressed jeans

Do like Poppy Delevingne and pair your cuffed, distressed jeans with a silky top, classy blazer or jacket, bold cage heels and a mini crossbody bag. Don’t forget a red lip to complete the nighttime look.

2. Wear bleached jeans with black for a tomboy look

Boyfriend jeans are the epitome of tomboy style, but instead of throwing on a loose tee and sneakers, opt for a cozy knit sweater and ankle boots in black for a more ’90s rock ‘n roll look, like model Lily Aldridge.

3. Add a white button-up for casual class

When in doubt, wear a white cotton shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and pair with souchy jeans and lace-up booties.

4. Wear cuffed jeans with a classic trench

We can always count on Diane Kruger to test drive cool looks before anyone else. Steal her style with a beige trench coat, ripped faded jeans, a statement belt and chelsea boots.
