Skinny jeans craze replaced by ‘boyfriend’ jeans
Skinny jeans have been all the range since last year, but are soon to be replaced by the ‘boyfriend’ jeans.
What are ‘boyfriend’ jeans, you may ask? In fashion circles it is a term coined at a looser silhouette in denim, defined by a straighter leg, higher rise and more relaxed fit. Loose fitting in the same sense as wearing you’re boyfriend’s jeans.
These baggier jeans are the antithesis of tight, spray-on denim and are all the rage for Autumn/Winter 2006. Stores around the UK have been ditching the skinny jeans look to gear up for the new trend, which has started already. Brands such as Marc Jacobs, Chloe and Zac Posen are leading the way, however more mainstream brands such as Levi’s. G-Star and Replay have introduced boyfriend-fit jeans as the look is set to be much more commercial.
....One thing is certain, the skinny jeans, whilst they look great on Kate Moss and Nicole Ritchie, look out of proportion on anyone with hips or a fuller figure. On trend for Autumn/Winter is a new layering and looser silhouette, which includes turtlenecks under dresses, oversized knits over leggings or jeans, a subdued bohemian look that is more chic than hippy, more loose than fitted.
