SO, WHAT ARE GIRLFRIEND JEANS?

Hate to break it to you, but the time for boyfriend jeans is up. In the ultimate denim battle of the sexes, girlfriend jeans have emerged as the winning, sexier half.

A relatively new cut and style making a sartorial statement, what’s the difference between the two – you may ask…

Girlfriend jeans have a more feminine, flattering fit that sits tighter and higher on the hip with a slightly tapered, slim, straight leg that ends just above your ankle. It doesn’t lose its slouch or comfort to allow you to look great and feel sexy at the same time.

There are no hard and fast fashion rules, we know this, but generally your new feminine friend is styled with her cuffs rolled up well above the ankle, and paired with slinky high heels or ballet flats. Ideally, the top should be an oversized slouchy tee or a gorgeous chunky knit.
