Does anyone actually buy these things? Every store and every label seems to sell them now. They're supposedly relaxed fitting jeans that are sold with rolled cuffs.

Excuse me, but thanks to stretch denim that doesn't hold its shape, I've got a drawer full of ersatz relaxed fitting jeans, and if I want to wear them rolled up, I'm capable of rolling the cuffs up myself.

What a silly gimmick.

My favorite cut. I've had one or more pairs of AG Boyfriend jeans for several years. YMMV

For those of us on the short side, it's either that or get them tailored. It's a look that comes and goes.

I've seen it as a more baggy cut, but not necessarily sold pre-cuffed or anything.

I'm not opposed to the relaxed more baggy cut, but it's not flattering on everyone. Boy-cut jeans look fine on women with boyish figures. On women with fuller hips and thighs, the cut looks dowdy more often than not.

I do own a pair of The Boyfriend Jeans, there not rolled up but must say they are super comfy, yes baggy.I only wear em around the house or doing things in the yard , garden. Plus I'm 50 so ..LOl . I pick em up at a thrift store for $5 brand new still had tags $ 196. I never spend that on a pair of jeans, dress yes! ..So I could not pass em up , screaming deal!

Love them.
For petite, shorter women they are great paired with heels or flats.
It's a short lived fad.
Better than those hideous skinny jeans which have NO thigh room,
And require one to have no real curves and be built like a stick.
Now that is silly.
Boyfriend cut is making the rounds again. they were popular back in the 80's.
I think they are very comfortable, loose, and a change of pace from all the
Form fitting, tight, skinny, spandex, stretch denim infused options.

I am freakn DESPERATE for some.

Unfortunately my body shape does not like jeans. Of any description. They are almost always uncomfortable.

My point was that if you like/want 'boyfriend' jeans, all you've got to do is take a pair of jeans that you already own, that fit loosely, roll up the cuffs, and voilà: Boyfriend Jeans!

No need to buy the freakin' things.
