Fashion is meant to be unrestricted, so why limit yourself to the usual women’s clothing?
When you’re shopping for a new pair of jeans or a rare designer jacket, don’t simply stick to the ladies’ aisle. Visit the ones you don’t usually go to such as the menswear section; you’ll be surprised to find that there are many fascinating pieces there that may also suit your taste.
Open your eyes to other style options with these menswear pieces that even a woman like you can easily rock.
- Button-down shirt
For a simple look, all you need are a pair of jeans and a button-down shirt. A chambray button down such as an oversized boyfriend shirt can add more flair to your outfit. You can even pair it with another shade of denim to sport that chic double denim look.
- Jogger pants
Anyone who has tried wearing jogger pants knows how comfortable they are to wear. If your fashion style is prioritizing comfort above all else, this is definitely something you won’t regret buying. Plus, these pants are easy to pair with almost anything.
- Baseball jacket
You don’t need to be a fan of baseball to wear a baseball jacket. When warmer weather approaches, you may want to shed some layers and opt for a lighter, sporty jacket instead.
Wear it over a stretchy tube top, a sleeveless undershirt or a turtleneck sweater, and pair it with jeans, skirts, or shorts. You can be a total fashion chameleon with this casual yet one-of-a-kind jacket.
- Oversized hoodie
You may have tried wearing a guy’s sweatshirt at least once and found it comfy, so why not invest in one for yourself? An oversized hoodie is perfect for the cold weather especially when you’re too lazy to bother with what to wear. But it does pair really well with girlfriend jeans and jeggings.
- Panama hat
You can’t really classify whether hats are for male or female as they are available for anyone to wear. So don’t let the boys have all the fun wearing Panama hats, and try sporting one yourself.
The versatile Panama hat goes well with frocks, shorts, skirts, pants, and most everything you’ll have in your wardrobe.
Additionally, it’s not only for styling but is also an essential sun protection gear.
- Flannel shirt
Just because you only see men wearing flannel shirts doesn’t mean you can’t wear one yourself. Even Beyonce wears a flannel shirt once in a while. It’s sexy, cute, casual and fun. Best of all, you can easily pair it with anything like shorts, jeans and skirts. You can wear it over a shirt or by its lonesome, tuck it in, or even just tie it around your waist.
- Tuxedo blazer
There’s something about a woman wearing an oversized tuxedo blazer that screams sexy chic. From a simple gown to a pair of jeans, you can wear a tuxedo blazer over anything. If you find it too big for you, you can always let a tailor fix the problem so it fits you exactly, or you can simply drape it over your shoulders.
- Real boyfriend jeans
Boyfriend jeans are so fashionable and comfy that they’ve became really popular among girls and even managed to reach the ladies’ aisle. Just make sure you buy the real thing so that you can truly enjoy this fashion staple.
- Oversized sweater
There’s no need to waste a lot of time and money looking for the right oversized sweater. All you have to do is head over to the men’s aisle and you’ll hit the jackpot instantly. What’s more, this is one of those pieces that are often of better quality in the men’s section than in the women’s aisle.
Put on this comfy piece of clothing with jeans, jeggings, skirts or shorts. Basically anything goes with them so they’re so easy to wear.
- Trucker hat or baseball cap
Nowadays, trucker hats and baseball caps are versatile enough that even women are wearing them. You can easily rock one with basically anything — from mini dresses to tight leather pants and heels. Instead of only wearing a baseball cap to an actual baseball game, why not add it to your day-to-day outfits?
See what works for you
When you head to the men’s aisle, be sure to try on clothes in different colors, sizes and cuts to select the most flattering style options.
Wear whatever you like and what brings out the best in you. Don’t focus too much on whether what you’re wearing comes from the men’s or the women’s clothes section. Stand out and celebrate your unique style — your taste is what matters the most.
