English term or phrase: My boyfriend pant Überschrift aus einer Jeans-Werbung. My boyfriend pant "These pants always look sexy and comfortable." Dress them up with heels or dress them down with flats, the boyfriend pant is super relaxed. The stretch sateen fabric makes it both sexy and casual. Mir will gerade keine knackige Überschrift einfallen. Wer kann mir kurz seinen kreativen Kopf leihen? ;) Danke!	bp-translations KudoZ activity Questions: 156 (2 open) (1 without valid answers) (5 closed without grading) Answers: 85 Austria Local time: 17:48

bp-translations Austria ASKER 09:15 Mar 4, 2008  Vielen Dank für die vielen Vorschläge. Die Boyfriend-Hosen haben das Rennen gemacht. Johanna Timm, PhD Canada 16:19 Mar 3, 2008  Der Begriff "boyfriend..." wurde vor Jahren zuerst bei Jackets eingeführt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyfriend_(fashion) Irene Schlotter, Dipl.-Übers. Spain 14:53 Mar 3, 2008  @Birgit: Hosen (also Plural) finde ich witziger als den Singular. Da kann man sich gleich Gedanken machen, wer denn gerade die Hosen tatsächlich und im übertragenen Sinn anhat. Ulrike Kraemer Germany 13:11 Mar 3, 2008  Irene hat Recht. Es müssen nicht unbedingt Jeans sein. Deshalb würde ich auch das neutralere "Hose" vorziehen. bp-translations Austria ASKER 12:52 Mar 3, 2008  @Irene. Thanks for pointing this out. I'll go for "Boyfriend-Hosen" then. Irene Schlotter, Dipl.-Übers. Spain 12:50 Mar 3, 2008  @Kim: Cool link. @Birgit/Kerstin: You seem to be right but I would be careful with 'Jeans' - the term 'Boyfriend pant' might also refer to khakis or cargo pants from non-denim materials. bp-translations Austria ASKER @Manuela 12:42 Mar 3, 2008  I don't know the name of the end client, but I think Kerstin is right. "Boyfriend-Jeans" seems to be the right term. Kim Metzger Mexico 12:33 Mar 3, 2008  Scroll to Pants, the Musical Click on "Have you seen this?" Eine Hose für Männer, die auch die Freundin anziehen kann. http://www.boston.com/ae/movies/blog/2007/03/18-week/ Manuela Junghans Germany 12:28 Mar 3, 2008  Hi Birgit - Is this possibly for a major UK high street brand - They have a line called "Boyfriend" Automatic update in 00:

Notes to answerer Asker: Danke Kerstin! Du hast recht, da wird gar keine knackige Marketing-Übersetzung gesucht, sondern viel mehr ein feststehender Begriff für diese Sorte von Hose.
