Vintage 501

The idea of wearing boyfriend jeans never appealed to me. Not because I don't like them, I do, but I've always thought you need to be really skinny to look good in them.

However, lately I'm thinking of getting a pair of vintage Levi's 501 to wear with slouchy striped sweaters on my lazy days. Furthermore, Lulu of Everybody is ugly* or Alexander Wang prove you can stay chic with baggy jeans.

    The Alexander Wang collection actually inspired me to steal the jeans right out of my boyfriend's closet. I really loved that collection. :)

    I agree with the skinny thing, but they also look so comfortable...

    I think the trick is in rolling them up at the ankles...

    Those look nice. I actually don't think you need to be really skinny to wear them ;) As long as you combine them with something a bit more tight on top, or as you said, a slouchy sweater, I think they will look just fine!

    i think it'll look good on a slim body and skinny tops.
