One way to experiment when it comes to fashion is by taking on a different turn. Just like in the case of women’s clothing that takes inspiration from men’s wardrobe. This particular notion started the trend for “the boyfriend shirt”. You see it on movies or TV shows where the actresses will be often seen wearing an oversized shirt that looks like a men’s polo.

Now this chic and very casual look is perfect especially during the summer. But there are some tricks on how you can wear it without being too masculine.

Even if it was supposed to be a man’s style, some designs are still tailored to have a fitted look. If you want to achieve the real deal choose a shirt that is one or two sizes larger than your body. Remember that it has to be longer than a standard woman’s shirt and should be around the area below your bottom.

In order to look chic and feminine on your boyfriend shirt, pair it up with leggings or tight fit pants. It could also go well with shorts during summer. By playing with a few pieces of accessories, you can even create a retro look with some bangles and necklace. Roll up the sleeves during warm days for a more casual and comfortable look.

Here are some things that you should avoid in order to prevent a fashion disaster. If it’s too short and does not fall below your bottom then do not wear it with skinny jeans or tight fit pants.  Do not pair it up with a boyfriend jeans because then people might confuse you for a guy.
