observations on Levi's

boyfriend jeans

October 14th, 2008 · posted by Jean Vouté Pratt in $$ Levi's clothing pants

We’ve all seen the celebrities wearing baggy “boyfriend” jeans lately. The question is, have they done it well? For the most part, they could have done it better. The celebs I’ve seen wearing the trend, got it wrong by pairing it with a loose cardigan and tee. The look fell flat, and looked frumpy. In order to get this look right, you need to pay attention to proportion. Since you’re baggy on the bottom, you want to stay fitted and feminine on top. The truth is, there is something so sexy about pulling on your boyfriend’s jeans after spending a night in his arms. And … I’ll be honest, if my boyfriend looked like one of these guys I would gladly wear his jeans. It’s all about hanging on to the moment, basking in the after-glow of love. I’m guessing there is a necessary element to this look that only some of us will have. The rest of us will simply have to fake it, or remember when we felt it!

    Happy Fourth of July! Before you rush out to the BBQ, think about what you’re going to wear. Today is the day to whip out your red, white, and blue. As well as your stars and stripes, in favor of our country. Show flag colors on top, supported by some All-American Levi’s on bottom. Mix that with a celebratory star quilted bag, and classic Ray-Bans. While you’re certainly not looking like you’re at a costume party, you do look festive! Have fun today, enjoy the fireworks, and belt out “Born in the USA” with the Boss!!
