The Best Boyfriend Jeans For Women
Boyfriend jeans are called so due to their relaxed, lived-in design. Roomy with a boy-cut fit that still looks decidedly feminine, boyfriend jeans seemingly never go out of style. We can't say we're sad about that, either, since they're also incredibly comfortable. If you haven't already noticed, we're big fans of boyfriend jeans, so we've rounded up a few of our very favorites.
What to Look For
To find the right pair of women’s boyfriend jeans, we suggest asking yourself three questions: Do these jeans feature a flattering cut? Do they offer a wide enough range of motion? Are they made with high-quality, well-priced materials? Our favorite pair came from Sidefeel, whose loose-fitting boyfriend jeans feature tastefully distressed details, come in gorgeous colors, and have a button fly, which we love. But we also appreciate Astylish’s more traditional jeans, as their simple, understated design makes them easy to pair with any outfit. They’re also supremely comfortable. To learn about the rest of our favorites and why we liked them so much, keep on reading.
Sidefeel Women’s Loose Boyfriend Jeans
The high-waisted boyfriend jeans
These boyfriend jeans feature a boxy hip and thigh area, wide legs, and a distressed, rolled-cuff look that’s trendy and flattering with virtually any shoe choice. And as with classic boyfriend jeans, these pants feature the coveted button fly, which is a hard-to-find gem these days. One of our favorite features with these pants is the ultra-soft denim, which seems to just get softer with each wash. And if you’re not into buying already ripped jeans, have no fear — these have very purposeful distressing with reinforced stitching throughout that keeps the rips from spreading further.
Pros:
- These tend to fit true to size, so you won’t have to deal with the uncertainty of sizing up or down and hoping for the perfect fit.
- The bagginess in the crotch, hip, and thigh area provides a wider range of motion than slimmer jeans typically do.
Cons:
- While we love how soft the denim is, it’s also thin, which means that it may not last as long as thicker denim would.
Astylish Women’s Plaid Patch Ripped Boyfriend Jeans
Comfort is key
Proving you can have both a skinny-jean cut and a boyfriend-jean fit rolled into one, these plaid-patched pants feature a higher rise, roomier legs, and narrow ankle openings for a trendy, on-point look. Perfectly distressed in all of the right places with patches underneath, these jeans also feature roomy legs all the way down through the ankles, which makes for a less constricting fit overall. The raw hem, faded back and thigh, and oversized pockets all add just enough on-trend points to make these a stylish yet timeless pair of jeans.
Pros:
- Those who like high-rise fits will love the way these jeans hug your curves.
- Plenty of jeans in this price point look fabulous but then stretch out after a few wears. These, though, are resilient enough to resist that stretching.
Cons:
- If you want to extend the lifespan of these pants, you shouldn’t put them in the washer. Instead, inconvenient as it may be, it’s best to hang them up to dry.
Sidefeel Women Pull-on Distressed Joggers
A jog down comfort lane
These boyfriend jeans are perfectly married to the jogger style, and we are here for it. With a pull-on, elastic waist that is oh-so-comfortable, these pants have a roomy fit, oversized front pockets, and a drawstring waist that’ll hug you in all of the right places. Further details include distressing, a rolled cuff, and ultra-soft cotton denim for a relaxed, lived-in feel. Available in a variety of colors and at a price point that has our bank accounts happy, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a reason not to get a pair — or a couple — of Sidefeel’s distressed joggers.
Pros:
- While some folks prefer having a zipper or button fly, those can be uncomfortable. The full drawstring closure on this one is as comfy as it gets.
- We appreciate that the oversized pockets are fully functional. Thanks to that, you can carry all sorts of things in your pockets with you.
Cons:
- The elastic waist can be hard to keep from slipping down.
Silver Jeans Co. Women’s Plus Size Boyfriend
Sizing up the competition
Featuring bum-flattering pockets, roomy hips and thighs, and distressing throughout for a lived-in feel, these jeans are comfortable, trendy, and offered in size-inclusive fits. With an 11.5 mid-rise fit, the Power Stretch denim fabric will perfectly hug your curves while providing the freedom of movement that comes along with the typical boyfriend jean. Available in all the great colors, these may be a bit pricier than other options out there, but we are such fans of the way they feel and look.
Pros:
- Unlike some boyfriend jeans in this price range, this pair features durable, long-lasting fabric and quality craftsmanship.
- We like that the cuff looks good whether you decide to roll it down or keep it up.
Cons:
- The denim will likely shrink with the first wash, so be prepared for that.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you style boyfriend jeans?
There are endless ways to style boyfriend jeans. From a collared shirt and sweater combo to a hoodie and a T, boyfriend jeans look stylish with just about any top, shoe, and accessory. Dressing up? Pair with a dressier top. Going for supreme casual comfort? Pair with a favorite hoodie. There’s no way you could go wrong with the right boyfriend.
How often should jeans be washed?
Think that you should wash your jeans after every wash? Think again. Washing too frequently wears the denim down, leaving your favorite pair of jeans in tatters far quicker than if you just let them be. So how often should you wash them? The experts seem to all agree: wash somewhere between every three and ten washes, depending on your level of activity and need for a clean.
