A sloppy girl slipping into an oversized men’s shirt has almost become a cinematic cliché. The truth is quite simple – some items still positioned as male are actually more comfortable or have other valuable features compared to their female counterparts.
So, let’s borrow from our husband or boyfriend (or look at the men’s shelves in stores) and see how it helps our outfit.
1. A Blazer
Men’s blazers often boast a more structured fit that can instantly elevate any outfit. Such blazers are perfect for adding a sharp, sophisticated touch.
A men’s blazer is a versatile piece. You can pair it with jeans for a casual yet polished look. Or, wear it over a dress for a professional meeting. Its classic cut and high-quality fabrics sometimes surpass women’s versions, making it a worthy addition to your closet.
2. T-Shirt
Every man has at least a couple of t-shirts he doesn’t wear for some reason (untamed, forgotten, a little too tight, etc.). Dig into the depths of the shelves and see for yourself.
Loose, cozy, and soft men’s t-shirts are easy to combine with your favorite jeans. This is especially true for women who like minimalistic clothes. All you have to do is throw on your jacket and walk out the door.
3. Shirt
Sometimes, it’s hard to find shirts in the women’s clothing department that aren’t ruffled, waisted, or otherwise sweetened and still well tailored.
Check the men’s department instead of a long search. If you want a shirt that fits you perfectly, try several sizes, paying particular attention to the shoulder line and collar. If you’re not afraid of more spacious clothes or have taken a shirt from your boyfriend, wear it as a tunic with tights or a dress with high heels.
4. Leather Jacket
The timeless appeal of a men’s leather jacket is undeniable. It adds an edgy, stylish touch that can transform even the simplest outfits.
Perfect for layering, a leather jacket can be thrown over a dress for a night out or paired with jeans for a laid-back, cool vibe.
The durability and craftsmanship of men’s leather jackets often mean they’ll last longer and age beautifully. It will become a staple piece in your fashion arsenal.
5. A Razor
Many women can testify to this. For some reason, it seems that razors for men do their job better. They shave off hair more gently and cleanly.
Perhaps the answer is that men’s blades are actually sharper because they are designed to shave thick facial hair. The advice is simple: just try it, and you may never want to return to your pink razor.
6. Shaving Foam
You’ve probably noticed that women’s shaving foam is almost twice as expensive as men’s. A true injustice, isn’t it? Especially since we spend a lot of them.
If you don’t mind the often slightly sharper smell of the foam – borrow it from men and spend the money you save on a new lipstick.
7. Jeans
This item shouldn’t be anything new.
Men’s jeans have similar advantages to shirts. They have simpler shapes and rougher denim. They also have better tailoring and are even cheaper.
8. Sweatshirt
An oversized men’s sweatshirt is the epitome of comfort and style. They are ideal for cozy days when you want to feel warm. Men’s sweatshirts offer more room and often have unique designs that can make a statement.
Pair it with leggings or jeans for a relaxed, off-duty look that doesn’t compromise style. Also, men’s sweatshirts are often more comfortable and higher quality than those for women. This makes them perfect to borrow.
9. Oversized Sweater
There’s something inherently comforting about slipping into an oversized men’s sweater. The extra fabric provides a cozy feel, while the usually neutral colors and simple designs make it a versatile piece for layering.
Wear it with skinny jeans or leggings for a relaxed yet chic ensemble. The oversized sweater can also be belted at the waist for a more defined silhouette. Its adaptability makes it a must-have for any season.
10. Perfume
Some perfumes are no longer labeled for men or women. But, traditionalists still consider certain fragrances “more feminine” or “more masculine.” If you are bored with sweet or sweet-fresh perfumes, try men’s perfumes that smell of leather, wood, and tobacco. You might be pleasantly surprised!
11. A Robe
Men’s housewear has the advantages of space and simplicity. A dressing gown is often more comfortable, almost like a blanket with sleeves.
In no way are we saying that women’s dressing gowns are somehow bad, but sometimes it’s really interesting to wrap up in men’s dressing gowns.
12. Sunglasses
It is quite possible that you have checked men’s sunglasses in a store, or maybe you have even dared to buy them.
Minimalist design and classic shapes, such as aviators, are also perfect for women.
13. Messenger Bag
Men’s messenger bags are a blend of practicality and style that is hard to beat. They offer space to carry all your essentials, from laptops to makeup kits, without compromising aesthetics.
The sturdy construction and timeless design make them a functional and fashionable accessory. It is perfect for work, travel, or daily use. A men’s messenger bag can easily complement any outfit.
14. A Baseball Cap
A messy hair morning and no dress code? You have an excellent opportunity to put a baseball cap on your head.
There is more and more sun, and there are plenty of reasons to spend time in the fresh air. A stylish hat with a beak is a great accessory.
15. A Watch
If pretty little watches are not your thing, a men’s watch might be a good choice. To begin with, borrow from your boyfriend, husband, or dad. If you see that it “sticks,” take a closer look at the shelves of men’s watches in stores and buy your own.
