Boyfriend Look

How to wear your boyfriend's watch, shirt, and jeans

 
ADVERTISEMENT
Let’s hear it for the boys! While we often find ourselves looking for great new wardrobe options, it’s very rare that we find those items inside our own closets. No need to run to the mall; a trip to your man’s closet could be all that you need. In fact, with a few well-chosen items from your significant other’s wardrobe, you can channel your own brand of chic. Here are a few items worth “borrowing.”

Snag his button-down shirt

The trendy shirtdress is a fast, easy look to achieve. Simply snag one of your boyfriend’s fitted, button-down shirts, and cinch it with a thin black belt at the waist, to create definition. Finish the look with a pair of your favorite equestrian or knee-high boots, and you have an outfit that will work for day and night. Another way to work a button-down is to tuck the shirt into a high-waist skirt, like Blake Lively. Don’t forget the belt; it’s essential to giving your body shape.

Accessorize with his watch

If timepiece trends are any indication, when it comes to watches, bigger is better. The quintessential boyfriend watch is making an appearance all over the place, and for good reason. Delightfully bold, and exceptionally large, there is something aesthetically pleasing about a big watch on a tiny wrist. For a look that is right on trend, pair your beau’s watch with any of your favorite ensembles.

Channel casual comfort with the boyfriend jean

While boyfriend jeans aren’t necessarily from your man’s closet, they are inspired by his loose, relaxed style. Katie Holmes is a huge fan of the trend. Perfectly slouchy, and typically distressed, the boyfriend jean is a must-have addition to any casual-chic wardrobe. Worn with a cozy knit sweater and a pair of flats, you’ll be comfy and stylish all day long.

Take a cue from your boyfriend, and incorporate his style into your own wardrobe.

Great article! Now if society were not so uptight about what men can wear, as a man I sure would like to see an article of "Girlfriend Look" where the man raids the girlfriend's closet. But in our intolerant society it won't happen. -- John This comment has been removed.

Leave it to Blake Lively to rock the trend. I like the idea of wearing his button-down because it be looser and more casual. My boyfriend's watch is sitting on my coffee table as we speak. Maybe I can have a few links taken out of the band to fit me... ;) This comment has been removed.
