Yes, Girlfriend Jeans, they exist. Yes they are a real thing. Brands are beginning to give us this as an option as a denim cut. These are very similar to every girl’s favorite pair – the Boyfriend Jean. Boyfriend Jeans have been around for a while now and I don’t think they are going anywhere, anytime soon. However the Girlfriend Jean is like the Boyfriend Jean but slimmer, more tailored and not so baggy, especially around the calves and ankles. These jeans are perfect for the smaller ladies, who sometimes can have a hard time trying to find the perfect Boyfriend Jean, because they are too baggy and overpower your frame, or for those who’s legs are just a little too tiny compared to the sizes out there. If you haven’t had any luck with Boyfriend Jeans, try a pair of the Girlfriend jean, in maybe I size bigger, but they are still a little looser at the top like the Boyfriend Jean, but can be different for different frames. I liked the fit of the pair that I got from H&M, they kind of remind me of a better looking mom jean, but not so snug around the wast. The Girlfriend Jean is a great staple piece and a go to pair to add to your closet. Just like every girl needs/has a pair of skinny jeans and boyfriend jeans, girlfriend jeans should definitely make as a must have piece in your closet, especially with Spring around the corner. Take a look at some of the girlfriend jeans & grab a pair !
The first time I noticed the girlfriend jean was in H&M and every time I went in I eyed them, but for some reason never took actual interest in them. I also thought it was just an H&M thing but I have quickly found out that it is slowly making its way to the shelves by many brands.
Find these here, they are currently on sale for just $20 & they fit great! These are the pair that I purchased at H&M , also referenced in my last post. On the model they look long, but I’m really short and they ended up at my ankle, which I then slightly cuffed. Just like the boyfriend jeans, they are never full length and look best cuffed.
This pair, comes in three different washes from Nordstrom. These look like they’d be a great option to go up a size in, if you want the looser look.
These are a great pair of a designer denim, if you want an investment piece.
These are also from 7 for All Mankind but a more basic option, that can be paired with many options.
