Since your boyfriend’s clothes are probably all over the house anyway, why not borrow one of his button downs, to make a cute outfit for you.  The boyfriend shirt is one of the newest trends in fall fashion this year. When worn right the boyfriend shirt can be an effortlessly chic and fashionable piece.  Unfortunately when worn wrong, it has the tendency to look like a bad dress up experiment.  So the question is how do you  rock your man’s button down without it looking oversized and frumpy. Well here is a list of our 5 favorite ways to wear the boyfriend shirt, just to get you started.

Wear with skinny jeans

This is probably the simplest option; all you have to do is knot the shirt in the front, so the excess fabric is gone. Then slip on your favorite skinny jeans and finish off your look with peep toe heels and you’ve got a cute casual outfit.

Belt it

The boyfriend shirt begs to be belted. If it’s long enough you can wear it as a dress, by adding a belt to chinch your waist, throw on a pair of ballet flats and accessorize with a boho style bag and you’re good to go.

Pair with a high waist skirt

This can be a very sexy combination, that transitions well for night time wear. Try pairing your man’s white button down skirt with a high waist black leather skirt.  Accessorize with a silver navel length statement necklace, and black ankle boots and you’re all set for date night.

 Wear over a dress

The boyfriend shirt is the perfect addition to those spring time dresses that you want to wear in the chillier weather.  Throwing a men’s button down over your favorite floral dress will help keep you warm and balance out the girly-ness of the print on your frock.

Wear it half tucked in

This look is excellent for hot summer days, when paired with ripped denim shorts. The men’s button down will add structure to your outfit, while the ripped denim will add that casual summery feel.  Wearing the boyfriend shirt half tucked in will only add to the laid back and relaxed feeling of the outfit.
