What are boyfriend jeans?

Boyfriend jeans are a denim style of jeans characterized by a loose fitting, slouchy cut. They're supposed to be akin to a man's jeans as if a girl grabbed her boyfriend's jeans and put them on. The relaxed fit is designed to mimic the way they'd fit on her.

The fuller silhouette makes these jeans the exact antithesis of skinny jeans: the anti-skinny jeans. As with regular jeans, boyfriend denim also comes in different styles to suit various taste levels. Cropped, vintage, midrise and selvage are just a few available offerings from both high- and low-end retailers. They're usually worn rolled up at the ends.
