Having ‘his’ and ‘hers’ sides of the closet doesn’t necessarily mean you can only pick from one section. Sometimes your favorite piece of clothing is ‘borrowed’ from your man’s side of the closet. A perfect example of this is their button-down shirt, which has migrated to our side more than once. With the versatility and fun it can add to your wardrobe, we’ll forgive you for not returning it after the last time he unknowingly loaned it to you. After watching the popularity of the oversized boyfriend shirt grow, more and more brands have jumped on the trend bandwagon over the years and have begun producing their own ‘boyfriend shirts.’ This look is talked about almost every season, and The Times believes this will be a major trend this season too.
Belted, tied, or worn loose, the options are endless. The boyfriend shirt is perfect when worn casually with leggings and a cute pair of booties, or turned into a cute “dress” by cinching it at the waist with a slim belt. For colder weather, you can layer it with a turtleneck to keep warm while still keeping your fashion game on point. This top is perfect for those days where you want to look young, breezy, and carefree, while still keeping comfort and style in mind.
Any way you wear it, your boyfriend shirt can be stylishly fun. Just remember to give it that feminine touch by adding an undone button, wearing something fitted on bottom, and keeping a confident attitude. Below are our top picks for the boyfriend shirt, in case you choose to leave your man’s in his closet and go buy your own.
