Your boyfriend’s back
I call them “Comfort Clothes” – the baggy pegged jeans, the swing-shaped tees, the oversized cardigans, and the high top sneakers that have taken over women’s magazine pages this season. With These Economic Times calling for practicality, fashion has responded not with minimalism as it did in the early ‘90s, but cozy clothes that women can swaddle themselves in. Even First Lady Michelle Obama, The Queen of Practical Chic herself, has been known to rock a boyfriend cardigan or two – though she has yet to don a whiskered pair of roomy, rolled-up jeans.
But my question is, are you adopting this new trend? Are you trading in your fitted and embellished tops, curve-announcing dresses and sky-scraping stilettos for more comfy styles – or incorporating BOTH ideas into your closet? Do tell!

Being thin and tall…I am so not into the baggy “raid your boyfirend’s wardrobe” look. It makes me look too “sloppy” in dress and way too thin draped in bulky clothing.. I like fitted outfits and feeling female. I did the baggy look when I was in high school and self-concious of my body and now…I figure that I don’t need to “hide” what I have.
well being in a country where practical is the concept, i think i will mix it with my heels and made my style unique.
i have an onversized cardigan very lovely and is super great with knee lenght jeans and a pair of flats
Ooo, love the sneakers! Got myself NorthStar black-red-white ones overlaid with tiny silhouettes of children. So cute!
i mix my styles, i have my days where i want to be really sexy with my heels and form fitting clothes and days when i want to be casual sexy.
Comfy clothes, ‘“Comfort Clothes” – the baggy pegged jeans, the swing-shaped tees, the oversized cardigans, and the high top sneakers that have taken over women’s magazine pages this season.’ What’s my take on this?
Personally, my closet is actually filled with my converse ( a few pairs) , my ballet flats , mary janes ( from cros , to nine west, to naturalizer, to Clarks etc) , baggy jeans, tonnes of cardigans and wrap arounds, and hoodies and the likes of all things comfortable, so I can’t quite say I have adopted the current trend, as already me, but I think for others ( embellished tops, jimmy choo’s, manholo’s and etc)
adopting comfortable clothes, give s us the sense of security.
These comfy clothes referred to those above, are also clothes we used to used as teenagers, and psychologically, during our teens, we do not have that a many problems as we do now, so it does somewhat gives us that ‘feeling’ again, by wearing them.
