The boyfriend jeans trend, which are baggy, typically destroyed, low-rise jeans look so comfy and effortless.  However, the style is not for everyone.  The nature of wearing baggy jeans can potentially be less flattering.  On the other hand, they are good at covering up, if you ate too much during the holidays...
