STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Boyfriend Blues

October 19th, 2015 at 8:25am

School is officially back in session, and the endless cycle of readings and papers have begun. Boyfriend jeans are a necessity in your wardrobe this fall, adding an element of stylish edge, while being comfortable for the long hours to be spent in the library.

Boyfriend jeans have become increasingly popular, especially over this past year, and the oversized look incorporates menswear into anyone’s style. Comfort is extremely important to me during the school year, but I never want to sacrifice a good look for comfort. These jeans have a fashionably versatile element, where you can throw on a T-shirt and sneakers, creating a laid back look, or even a polished one, with a crisp button-down and patent leather oxfords. Boyfriend jeans are a refreshing alternative to the all-too-common denim skinny jeans that dominate UVA’s grounds. I love the way boyfriend jeans give a “cool” and differentiated element to anyone’s look.

This Fashionista, whom I caught on the way to class, wore her amazing Zara boyfriend jeans with black Converse sneakers and a vintage T-shirt. I loved how nonchalant her look was, while also being super fashionable. Her styling of the boyfriend jeans, with exaggerated distressed detail, with a simple t-shirt, perfectly embodies the effortless style of a student attending class.

Invest in a pair of boyfriend jeans for the fall season if you do not already have a pair. They will keep you looking cool and stylish while maintaining that comfort we all need while embarking on those long days of classes and studying.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Effortless edge is an amazing look to strive for when dressing for class. Boyfriend jeans are the solution to achieve such look, while maintaining comfort for the long hours in class and the library.”
