Last season I had a rant about boys purchasing and wearing womens’ threads as a result of the skinny jeans and cardigan epidemic -even ladies’ leggings made the cut, but this season the tables have turned! It seems this summer is all about women walking ‘round in their boyfriend’s pants and I’m not talking about a pair of your significant other’s most comfy trackies. I am talking his jeans; those slouchy, on the hips, low crotched, cuffed, distressed, dark, scruffy, sweeping the pavement slacks.

With an eye on the summer season in New York and London some of our favourite fashionistas have embraced this man-style trend. Katie Holmes leads the boyfriend jean generation, slipping into a pair of Tom’s pants with gal pal Victoria Beckham, Sarah Jessica Parker and Rachel Bilson close behind.

Before you cringe at the thought of going big and baggy, we all did the ‘smock’ dress and it must be said that skinny jeans have clearly over stayed their welcome. I almost cannot recall a time before skinny jeans and while I may not let them go completely (because they’re hot); it certainly wouldn’t hurt to leave a little leg to the imagination! Glam them up with stilettos or keep them casual with a pair of thongs and a tee, the choice is yours.

Now, while I could pick myself up a new pair of denims from Ksubi or Diesel it just wouldn’t be the same. So first things first, I will be MIA for the rest of this week, I need to find myself a boyfriend.
