Like A Boy: Current/ Elliot

There is a trend that is slowly seeping into a social network near you and that trend is the boyfriend jean. A company by the name of Current/ Elliot are designing the jeans that will sweep the streets of SoHo before you know it. Emily Current and Meritt Elliott are the two celebrity stylist who popularized the look, they would always wear these kinds of destroyed mens jeans to shoots and over time people got into them and they created this market for these jeans. So they in turn started designing them and as soon as they were released on intermix they sold out. They have rereleased the denim's due to the high demand but you can only pre-order your pair right now which I suggest you do because it guarantees that you get a pair.
I like the idea behind these jeans. They are made to fit like you are wearing your boyfriends favorite jeans that he lives in. The jeans are washed and destroyed and fit loose. Now the loose part is what worries me the most because it's risky business, if you get it too small and it isn't loose it's not going to look right and if you get it too big and it is too loose your going to look foolish so it has to be just right which is why I advise you to go into an intermix near you and try on a pair yourself before you purchase a pair. I can tell you to get a size smaller than what you usually wear and that might work for half of the women reading this due to their body type but I love you all so do yourself a favor and use the store locator: Intermix
What I like most about these jeans is that its a modern twist on the women in the early 1940's. During World War Two when the men went to war the women adopted a "we can do it" policy and they went to work in the factories and the fields; jobs that were usually only for men. I must say that this is a very fashionable twist on it and in a way an avant garde approach.

For those of you who are willing to take the chance with the online purchase I cannot deny you the opportunity so here you are: Intermix
