I find they tend to look better if you go down a size, then they are almost straight leg/form fitting but not quite so tight as skinny jeans and without the "roomy" part at the bottom like boot cut. Then they transition well from winter to spring/summer they look cute rolled up with ankle boots, heels or flats.

Why people buy jeans with holes already in them is beyond me.

It's all about extremes

Skinny jeans were the counter to baggy 90's jeans.

I thought this way until I found this ONE pair of jeans that fit just right, and happened to be pre-torn. I (try) not to wear them in public.

As an aside, I have to chuckle at the "Boyfriend Jeans" bit. People comment about guys wearing jeans hanging off of them, and looking sloppy, but yet it's fine for women to wear them. Hip Hop stars male and female already did this. Why do I have this feeling 10 years from now we're going to laugh at ourselves for wearing these?!

I love a good boyfriend jean and I am 5'8 and a size 10--I think they really can work on pretty much any size if you find the right flattering cut.
For me Gap has some great ones--

That seems a little pointless to buy jeans that are only going to be worn around the house. I don't think I would buy something that i would be too embarrassed to be seen wearing out in public.

Thats not what boyfriend jeans are. They don't hang down past your butt showing off your underwear, and if worn correctly they don't look sloppy. They are just a more relaxed fit.

And not all of the jeans have holes in them like the pic.

I said tried, because I recently acquiesced.

I guess I can't tell the difference. Some just look torn and not to different from regular relaxed fitted jeans. Others just look sloppy to me. Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston and a few others seem to be the ones that look "OK" to meā€”normal, going about their business kind of way. Katie Holmes looks like a boy.
