That would explain why they have a more baggy, relaxed fit.

My favorite Boyfriend Jean is in a light wash denim with lived-in look of destruction...and let's not forget about the cuffs! Cuffing the Boyfriend Jean gives it a more tapered look. But lucky for you, most Boyfriend Jeans are designed that way!

Give your Boyfriend Jean a more feminine look with ballet flats, sandals, or heels. Throw on a cami or a tank and a cardigan, and you're all set! Think Bohemian (floral prints, feathers). Wanna be "Red Carpet Ready?" How about pumps and a blazer? Or go full throttle and really be "one of the boys" with your favorite gym shoes and a tee.
Don't take the origin of the Boyfriend Jean too literally. You don't have to have a boyfriend or even a husband to borrow his jeans, SILLY! Denim manufacturers that have brands for women customize the Boyfriend Jean to specifically fit and flatter a woman's body. Don't see anything you like? --shop in menswear or go the vintage route!
