How to Style Boyfriend Jeans

Looser in fit, lower on the waist and gently tapered through the leg, boyfriend jeans borrow from menswear but still feel entirely your own. They sit somewhere between off-duty ease and everyday polish – and that’s exactly where their charm lies.

The styling sweet spot? Keep it simple up top. A crisp white T-shirt, slim-fit knit, second-skin bodysuit or a delicate cami all balance the shape beautifully and keep proportions in check. Just add a few dressy extras – a sharp blazer, waist-sculpting belt and light-catching jewellery – when plans roll into evening.

Still not sure what to wear with boyfriend jeans? Start with a streamlined layer on top and build from there. For more inspiration, bookmark our handy denim fit guide.

What you wear on your feet can take boyfriend jeans from low-key to polished in a single step. On off-duty days, white trainers or leather slides keep things fresh, especially with a neat cuff at the hem. It’s the kind of look that says “I woke up like this” without trying too hard.

Need something sharper? Smart loafers or ballet flats step in with polished ease – timeless, fuss-free, and perfectly balanced teamed with slouchy denim. For a touch of edge, try a pointed ankle boot.

Last-minute drinks? Just swap in a pair of heels. Whether strappy, block heeled or slingback, make sure they peek just beneath the cuff – a subtle styling trick that transforms casual into curated in seconds.
