Looking to round out your denim wardrobe essentials? Trust us: A pair of effortlessly cool boyfriend jeans should be at the top of your list.

The term boyfriend jeans refers to a borrowed-from-the-boys look and feel. There's generally a straight or wide cut throughout the leg, and a relaxed (even oversize) overall silhouette. You may also see girlfriend jeans on the market, which are a nod to the slouchy look of a boyfriend fit while still having a mostly flattering silhouette.

Our Top Picks

To style boyfriend jeans, keep balance top of mind. If you're going to have loose or oversize pants on the bottom, try pairing a more figure-hugging knit or blouse on top. Boyfriend jeans can be styled down with sneakers or flats for daytime, and easily dressed up with a comfortable heel or ankle boots for a night out.

From plus-size and petite styles to high-waisted designs, there's a pair of classic boyfriend jeans at all styles and price points. Here are 13 of our favorite women's boyfriend jeans to add to your shopping cart.
