Let's talk a little about why Prest Boutique loves boyfriend jeans...

Every girl is entitled to their favorite shape/style/cut/color of denim. And I'm sure that every woman who reads this blog has a pair of skinny, straight, boot cut, flares and destroyed jeans in their closet. However, my new favorite thing, that I really can't get enough of are these boyfriend jeans! So versatile, so comfy, so sexy but breathable at the same time... All the celebs have them on, so I decided to give them a shot- first by heading over to darling little Value Village and buying a pair of guy jeans for 3 bucks and destroying them myself... wouldn't wear them out in public as they do nothing for me, but can we just give a little hallelujah for freedom? Then, after deciding that my skinny jeans are more like denim leggings, I invested in a pair of Paige Premium Denim's "Jimmy Jimmy" Rebel wash (found conveniently at Prest Boutique), and don't have a single regret. I would live in them if I could... and wear them any chance I get!!

As far as how and what to wear them with, here's what I've discovered:
DO:
  • wear them with high heels- pointy toed give off a tres sexy look while wedges are subtly and cute (make sure to roll them up a bit to show off your killer legs!!)
  • wear them with a cute pair of flats/sandals and play up the relaxed look with a tank top and great belt.
  • Add feminine touches- cute jewelry, a girly shirt, pink nail polish... you get the idea.
  • wear them low on your hips, not boxer baring like your guy does, but keep 'em low and show it off with an awesome belt.
DON'T:
  • no running shoes or old navy flip flops- you risk being mistaken for your boyfriend.
  • no over sized sweat shirts or tops- you'll loose that sexy shape!
  • the key is to keep it classy, not overly comfortable, you'll look like a bum and people will start throwing change your way.

Currently in the store I have a couple types of boyfriend jeans-
JBrand's:


And the Paige Premium Denim pair:

More coming soon too! Divine Rights of Denim (a great line of jeans launched by Audrina Patridge from the Hills!) has a great pair of light boyfriend's coming to the boutique in May!
