Boyfriend jeans

I think I might have discovered a 2009 fashion trend that I already don't like. Maybe it's because I can already see it not working for me - I'm petite, so loose jeans make me look shorter than I already am. Not to mention that loose jeans with ankle cuffs does not look the least bit flattering on any body type.

Thoughts?

my exboyfriend would give me his pants from highschool that he didn't fit into anymore, and since he tailors them to be tight like i do mine, they always fit haha
otherwise i think i will stick to the boyfriend shirt/jacket

Definately a yay. I love boyfriend jeans, but my boyfriend's actual jeans are massively too big for me so I just buy from the shops.

I'm actually dying for the perfect pair. I honestly think it's all in the styling.

i think on certain people they look okay, but not me.
i need tighter clothes as i'm small and anything like that will swamp me.

I heard about this a while ago from a shop assistant, and i tried on a pair by sass & bide. They are amazing, and so so comfy too. But i think for now they're abit too ahead of their time, cos super skinnys are definitley still in. They can also come across as sloppy sometimes, but that depends how you wear them. sassandbide.com/www/374/1001127/displayproduct/starting-something--1184357_denim--1001204_.html

I remember them being cool about 5 years ago and haven't seen them look good on a single person yet. They doesn't even look good on the supermodels; it makes me want to throw pretty, flattering clothes at them..like "you have amazing legs, why are you wearing those awful things?!"

I did used to have some to cover myself up when I was 12/13, but I've practically lived in skinnies after that embarrasing little phase. :) oh the pictures.

i like them because I think they actually make me look thinner.
but i am also very tall and thin (6' / 130lbs)... i think on shorter people they would not look as good.
