Over the past few years we’ve seen jean styles go from flare to straight leg, skinny to ultra skinny, and now, skin-tight leggings have practically replaced jeans altogether! For spring, the collections of Miss Sixty, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and Diesel Black Gold all featured the boyfriend jean, adding a breath of fresh air to our thighs and to the evolution of this wardrobe staple.
We’ve found the look at a variety of different price points and styles, so anyone can rock the boyfriend jean!
We love the destroyed wash of the classic American Eagle Favorite Boyfriend Jean, only $29.50, and the Silence & Noise Boyfriend Jean from Urban Outfitters, now on sale for $39.99 (was $74), for the cropped look. The Victoria’s Secret Low Boyfriend Jean makes this baggy trend sexy for $59.90. The washed Levis 501 Boyfriend Jean, $168 at Free People, is perfect for those who love the hippie style, and Sarah Jessica Parker has been spotted in this pair of Current / Elliot Boyfriend Jean in Hickory Stripe, available on Singer22.com for $219. Or, for an authentic look, scour your boyfriend’s closet!
To finish the look, sport a form-fitting tee or tank with heels to add a touch of femininity, a black blazer to dress up the jeans, or pair them with an oversized tee and Converse sneakers to achieve a grunge-inspired look.

How many times can the classic Chanel suit, shoes, and bag be reworked and refreshed each season? Apparently, an infinite amount, as Karl Largerfeld has once again made the staples of the maintain their covetable classification. New shapes, details, and accessories are the way to add excitement to the storied house, and Karl and his team didn’t hold back one bit this season. From boudoir-like shoes decked out with feathers to new shape and chain positioning for the quilted signature bags, there’s plenty here to set Chanel-lover’s hearts ablaze. The suits received the festoon treatment, with oversized ties, bows, and detailing that you know came from King Karl himself — heavy chainlinks! And last, this review wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the jewelry; it managed to accomplish both vintage and futuristic elements that worked with tweed suits, trenches, long, loose cardigans, and prim blouses.
