This spring celebrities like Katie Holmes, Reese Witherspoon and Rachel Bilson have been stepping out in cuffed boyfriend jeans. The trend has hit stores and fashion magazines everywhere and is much more forgiving and comfortable than the skinny jeans trend. But before you run out and snatch up a pair of boyfriend jeans, read this article to learn how to wear them to flatter your body.

Step 1

When purchasing a pair of boyfriend jeans, make sure they fit properly at the waist. They should be baggy, but you should be able to wear them without a belt without them falling off. Destroyed details add a worn look that makes the trend even more fashionable and popular. While wearing a pair of your boyfriend's jeans could potentially work for this trend, men's jeans just aren't made to fit women and will likely look too baggy.

Step 2
Once you have a pair of boyfriend jeans that fit your body, roll up the bottom of the pant leg to just above your ankle. The cuff can be an inch wide to a couple of inches wide depending on your preference, but try not to make the cuff bigger than about 3-4 inches.

Step 3
Now it's time to assemble the rest of the outfit. Cuffed boyfriend jeans look best with a fitted top, so avoid wearing anything baggy or flowey on top. If you do, the look will become frumpy and you risk looking like a hobo. Cute fitted tees look best, especially v-necks. They accentuate your figure and keep the look casual and feminine. A tailored collared shirt could also work if you want to dress the look up a little. Cardigans or sweaters can also be worn on top so long as they hit around the hip and aren't too bulky. A light cardigan would be a good choice, but keep the look as simple as possible.

Step 4

The best shoes for this trend are a pair of cute flats. They add femininity to the baggy jeans and keep the look fashion-forward, but they work best for taller builds. If you are short or have shorter legs, you can pair your jeans with a pair of spring's chunky gladiator-style heels.

Step 5

Wearing a leather belt with your boyfriend jeans is a great way to accessorize the look without going overboard. The belt will also help keep the jeans up if they stretch out later in the day. Avoid other accessories, except maybe a pair of sunglasses and a purse, otherwise you'll look like you're trying too hard.

Step 6
Feel free to play around with different combinations to keep the look fresh, but don't forget that simplicity is the key to this trend.
