It’s all in the cut: skinnies vs boyfriend jeans

So you’ve been seeing the trend, we’ve helped you figure out how to style them– but you still aren’t sure about boyfriend jeans and how they’re different from skinny jeans – well, here’s the explanation you’ll ever need!

Skinny jeans are snug and tapered all the way down to your ankles. Boyfriend jeans aren’t – they aren’t jeans that used to belong to someone’s boyfriend either! They’re more loose-fitting down the leg and not tapered at your ankles. Think of them as in between slim-fit and straight-cut jeans.

Now click through the gallery and see our picks for the best of both cuts. For more hot denim buys, have a look at our selection of denim shirts and get your hands on the October issue of GLAMOUR!
