If you thought that “women in menswear” only referred to red carpet stars in tailored suits and sleek ponytails, think again! You can also rock your boyfriend or best friend’s best clothing items and accessories (and we’re not just talking about his hoodie). Here are some things we say you should “borrow” from his wardrobe the next time you’re at his place – or if you’re tired of limiting your shopping creativity to just one half of the store!
His hats
Beanies and most hats are unisex items of clothing, so you and your beau can actually swap and share your collections. Slogan beanies are in this winter, as are wide-brimmed hats and fedoras.
His shirt
Oversized check shirts are great for layering, especially in autumn. Wear it over a printed T-shirt, skinny jeans and boots, and roll up the sleeves for a casual look if they’re a little too long.
His sweatshirt
Sweatshirts are the new must-have item, especially with the hot sports luxe trend. Not only will his look amazing with skinny jeans and heels, but it makes for a great couch outfit too! For a more grungy look, wear his oversized sweatshirt with a mini-skirt, stockings and chunky-heeled ankle boots – great for a night out with the girls.
They’re called boyfriend jeans for a reason, after all! If you and a man in your life have the same waist size, you’re all set, if not, hit the shops. Wear them folded or pin rolled – it’s up to you! See more ways to wear them here.
His tie/bow-tie
These are also unisex items and also essentials for the ultimate menswear-inspired look. Wear his tie with a shirt, tailored blazer and heels. A bow-tie is even better for showing off a more personalised and quirky style, especially if it’s patterned.
