Ever considered the fact that your boyfriend/brother/husband/father’s closet may be more stylish than your own? With menswear becoming more and more of a trend for women, probably you have.
The fact is the image of a woman wearing an oversized, crisp, white men’s button-up shirt with a skirt and heels is undeniably sexy. From the morning after a night out, when the lady is lounging in the man’s shirt with a cup of coffee, to when she is out of anything to wear, and therefore turns to the next best closet for assistance. Picture Katherine Hepburn, or even Coco Chanel with the striped boat neck shirt and pants. Women wearing men’s clothing and making it their own has never been a novelty.
The man’s button-up shirt is now a staple, from Vogue Paris editor Emmanuelle Alt, to any woman with sticky fingers and a flair for fashion risk taking.
The key to wearing this article of clothing is emphasizing its originality in comparison to the rest of what you’re wearing. Tuck it into skinny jeans and pair with a thin gold necklace and heels. Accessorize well to make the look your own, and button the shirt just below your collarbone.
The look won’t be out of style as long as comfort and casual-chic are valued, so discover the men’s button-up and let your hair down for the rest of summer.
