The boyfriend jean can be traced back to Marilyn Monroe, who wore a loose-fitting pair back in the '60s. Since then, the denim has become synonymous with a slouchy and baggy feel. This relaxed look is the opposite of the skinny jean, which tapers closer to your body and has a tighter fit. The trick to making this denim style work for your body shape is all about the fit. If you're petite, go for the slim-cut boyfriend jean and if you're more curvy, opt for a tapered or skinny leg version to cut down the extra bulk.
What to look out for: Relaxed fit, baggy shape, and should look a bit big on the wearer.
