Steal these from your BAE!

QUICK TIPS
Pay attention to volume and proportion. Always pair a boyfriend piece of clothing with a fitted/semi-fitted piece. When going for a boyfriend jacket or a shirt, narrow down on the denims and vice versa.

Anti-fits often fit right when altered to complement the feminine form.

Highlight the classic hourglass look by clinching the waist with oversized belts.


There are some sassy fashion essentials in your boyfriend’s closet, and it’s time to steal and style them


Ever borrowed or stole your partner’s button-down shirt or tee to use as a quick fashion fix? If yes, you already know how these oversized boyfriend pieces help put together a killer, menswear-inspired look.

“The whole boyfriend style guarantees ultimate comfort and ease. As opposed to the idealistic womenswear, this trend complements any and every body type as it is based on anti-fits. The exaggerated shape of the oversized silhouette is enough to make a statement,” says designer Aniket Satam. Moreover, sharing your partner’s clothing allows you to flaunt your current relationship status subtly. “Wrapping yourself in your partner’s clothing is quite an intimate thing; it assures personal comfort when your loved one is away. In a way, it makes up for the physical distance,” says Satam.


Boyfriend chic is definitely here to stay. “The menswear cut breaks the monotony and gives you an edgy look. Boyfriend clothing is usually one size bigger than a woman’s actual size, and gives a very flattering look,” says designer Priyanka Gangwal.

HIS CONCERT TEES

Give your man’s concert tees or vintage band tees a fresh spin by pairing them with your girly accessories. Wear this oversized item with distressed ripped denim shorts and booties — just the right outfit for fashionable weekend getaways. For an allgirls luncheon, go ultra-cute with simple white crew T-shirts with DIY badges or embroidered patches and a pair of chic converse shoes. Those patches add some colour to your ensemble.

HIS JACKET

Jackets like bomber jackets, tuxedo jackets and duster coats are versatile pieces that are shared from men’s classic wardrobe. A denim jacket is a testimony of every man’s adventure. Go easy chic by teaming it up with simple, neutral tank tops and denim shorts for daily whereabouts. You may also play dress by teaming up an oversized denim grunged jacket with super-feminine and flirty white lace dresses or Hakoba prairie sundresses and tan brogues for a romantic getaway.

HIS SHIRT

Whether it’s thin pinstripes or crisp white buttondown, a classic men’s formal shirt looks great when paired with almost anything in your wardrobe. Just roll the sleeves up and stack some gold pendant chains. Team it with tan gladiators and reflector glasses for a perfect beachwear ensemble. You can also sport an oversized pinstripe banker shirt as a dress; remember to cinch the waist with a leather band. Finish with white sneakers and a fedora for a casual day look.

HIS SWEATSHIRT

No movie night or date is complete without a classic, anti-fit chunky knit sweatshirt. Think XXL and chunky patterns like cable knits in neutral colours. Layer them with fitted ribbed dresses for a classy appeal, or you may also go grunge by teaming distressed sweaters with fitted leather tights or disco sequin skirts and boots for clubbing nights with your friends.
