Although there probably isn’t any science to back it up, there’s something about wearing somebody else’s clothes that makes you look – and feel – instantly better.
When you’re tired of your own closet’s offerings, turning to a friend’s is an easy way to give your self-esteem a boost. One closet you probably haven’t ever thought to explore, though? Your man’s.
Menswear is back in a big way these days. Chic, stylish and sized-to-fit, most of what men are wearing looks just as good, if not better, on females too.
So before you reach for your lady friend’s dresser drawers, consider scooping up his fashion finds and adding in a few feminine touches.
To prove just how simple it is to coordinate his closet with your own, we styled six looks from head to toe, so you can rock ‘em at work, at the bar and on the street. Dressing like a man has never looked better.
1. His favorite crewneck is now your closet staple.
His crewneck sweatshirt is loose-fitting and long, so choose a mix of feminine and masculine touches to play that up.
Boyfriend jeans, a statement necklace and a drool-worthy pair of cut-out booties shows just how dynamic and fun your taste is. Men will want you and women will hate you. So, basically, you’ll kill it.
2. You’ll find newfound love for his five panels.
Kiss your bedhead days goodbye. Just give that out-of-control mane a quick comb and top it off with one of his bright and colorful five panels (if he’s more of a snapback guy, that works too).
Draw even more attention to what you’re wearing on top by keeping the look simple everywhere else. The added bonus no one will tell you? You’ll be comfortable as f*ck.
3. Cozy up in an oversized flannel.
Women’s flannels are usually fitted and tight, which completely ruins the point of wearing a flannel, to be honest. Solve the problem with one of his oversized fits.
As it’ll most likely be baggy on you, add proportion with something fitted and textured on bottom. A plump plum lip finishes the outfit off.
4. His joggers are basically the female equivalent of going pants-free.
No pants? No problem. His joggers, since they’re made to fit, will flatter your figure without leaving you feeling like a stuffed sausage (Or is that just me?).
For a look you’ll feel more feminine in, add a pair of earth-tone heels. To keep it comfortable, add a chunky knit cable on top.
5. Make business casual look fabulous.
Julia Roberts in “Pretty Woman” isn’t the only leading lady who can pull off a killer menswear inspired look in a business casual top.
Tuck his for-meetings-only button down into a structured pair of shorts. For a pop of personality, add a hat and a printed pair of oxfords. The look works year round, too – just add tights for fall and winter.
6. You’ll be chic as sh*t in his chambray.
Tuck his denim into your own and bask in the fact that you don’t have to watch what you’re eating for a day. Flats, a killer moto jacket and a pair of sleek skinnies will have him saying “uncle” before you even get out the door.
