Making their second debut in my short lifetime, boyfriend jeans are back. Although I find them to be a great look when styled the right way, I don't find their price to be equally appealing. When spending money on a fashion trend, I try not to invest unless it's something I see lasting for more than two seasons. The jeans pictured above are a moderately priced boyfriend distressed look from GAP. I typically am one to invest in my denim, but when it comes to the boyfriend style, I wasn't prepared to spend over $100 for something I knew I wouldn't be wearing for long. So far, I am enjoying the quality and wash of these GAP jeans, and I'm especially loving the price tag!
Guilty. The distressed trend has come and gone several times in the past few years, but I still find myself adding new pieces to my collection. My favourite way to style this look is with tailored fashion items, giving the outfit a semi-grunge look (without appearing entirely homeless). Maintaining balance is a good way to wear more fashionable/trendy styles, without overwhelming your outfit. One pairing I love is boyfriend jeans with tailored blazers and pumps.
