Too long, too big

Nagasugi, ookisugi

I'm as much of a fan of loose fitting straight leg pants as the next girl who doesn't like the sensation of belly fat hanging over the waistband. I just don't get why they decided to call them boyfriend jeans.

When I first heard the term "boyfriend jeans," I was really confused because I'd never worn any of my boyfriends' jeans because I couldn't. Well, I could probably put them on, but never wear them. More like swim in them...

Husband is 32 cm taller. When spending weekends at his place became a regular thing, I'd wear his tennis things. Then it got colder and he suggested we go to Uniqlo to buy sweats for me to keep at his place. I knew my bad track record with relationships (nothing had lasted longer than a year until then, and I couldn't seem to stay friends after the breakup) so I bought new sweatpants and a sweatshirt and wore those at my own apartment, while leaving older sweatpants and an older T-shirt at his place (so it would be easier to cut my losses if the relationship ended).

Previous boyfriends have also been a good deal taller and somewhat wider than me. If I borrowed things, it was usually T-shirts and shorts. But I guess "boyfriend shorts" just doesn't have the same ring to it...

Same here.
I don't know why they call it the boyfriend jeans. Kinda annoying, makes me feel I'm wearing something borrowed (and I NEVER borrow+wear any male clothes in my entire life). That's why (for the time being) I'm stick to my super stretchy skinny jeans, or the shorts.
Good news, many people and designers already stated that the year of 2012 is gonna be the Denim Year. Can't be happier to know it, since I love denim so much. The most versatile thing to wear. Just use it and abuse it, and it's still last forever. Even the old faded one still looks stylish for running daily errands.

Just wanna say that we're in the same boat here. You, me, and billions other females out there.
