This past fall was all about the boyfriend jean – slouchy, comfortable, and perfectly cuffed denim that looked like you had stolen it directly from your latest love’s closet. It’s no surprise, then, that the spring runways were filled with the shortened version of this must-have fit. Slouchy boyfriend shorts showed up in New York, London and Milan paired with youthful pieces and pops of color.
Boyfriend shorts are all about comfort and ease, not shape, so be aware of how this trend looks on your body. If you’re a bit curvier, try on a straight-fit pair of shorts and buy them a size up – this way, you get the look without adding a ton of bulk. For the more body-concious, a slim black tank and leggings added basic layers and created the perfect lazy weekend look, toughened up with heavy chains for a very I-don’t-care statement. Stay away from pleated shorts if you need to draw attention away from your hips, however – but if you’re more on the athletic side, the folds will add a bit of volume right where you need it.
Throw on some neon, a few summery accessories and a killer pair of heels, and you’ll look like you walked right off the runway!
