There are many great aspects to having a boyfriend. But in my opinion, one of the biggest perks of having a boyfriend is your ability to raid his closet and wear his clothes. Particularly with the major menswear-inspired trends that have been influencing fashion for the past few years, nothing is better than snagging a piece of clothing from your boyfriend and wearing it yourself. 
Although IÂ’m not suggesting you actually steal this clothing from your boyfriend, you can borrow his clothes and look fabulous. Even if you donÂ’t have a very stylish boyfriend (a mythic creature that I have never personally witnessed let alone had the chance to date!), every man has clothes that you can rock. Here is my list of the three best things to steal from your man:
1. His T-Shirt. A manÂ’s worn-in and oversized tee is the most comfortable and comforting piece of clothing on the planet. Few things are as nice as a t-shirt thatÂ’s been washed so many times that it has that super soft feel. And even better, itÂ’s a perfect addition to your wardrobe! You can dress up the oversized tee by adding leggings, boots, and some glamorous accessories like chunky jewelry or an equally large colored scarf. Or you can keep the look totally casual and summer appropriate by wearing it with simple jean cut-off shorts. My personal favorite way to style a menÂ’s tee is to tuck it into a slim cut high-waisted skirt. I think this look mixes the boyfriend style with classic femininity.
2. His Button Down Shirt. ThereÂ’s something so fun about turning your boyfriendÂ’s serious work shirt into your own casual look. The classic way to wear his button down is as a shirt dress. So throw on his shirt, add a belt at your waist, and some girly sandals or heels. Adding the belt is key to defining your body beneath all that fabric. If your boyfriend is on the smaller side and his button down wonÂ’t cover you all up as a dress, try rolling the sleeves and wearing it as an oversized shirt with skinny jeans. Add a necklace on top and youÂ’ll look totally chic.
3. His watch and his other accessories. I love a manÂ’s watch on a woman and what better way to try out the trend than by just borrowing his watch for few days? You might also want to try borrowing his sunglasses, as many styles are now unisex, and different frames can help mix up your look. Also, if your boyfriend is one the rare few who wears hats, definitely borrow them! You will look cool in this summerÂ’s menÂ’s style hats, like the fedora, and you can feel even cooler knowing you got yours from your guy.
