You can probably see that my style is all over the place. Sometimes, I’m feminine and romantic other times I’m edgy and urban. Then, there are days I’m into super androgynous style – like in the photos above. I guess you can say I’m easily bored so I always like to switch it up when I’ve done too much of one thing. I think there’s much to be taken from menswear looks – such as mixing oversized items with tailored pieces. There’s something special about these elements that I just find alluring when meshed with womenswear. If you’re looking to borrow more from the boys, today’s post is for you.…

Here are 5 amazing pieces to pull off menswear-inspired outfits:
1. Oversized Blazer
Pared back tailoring seems to be coming back into the game – and I’m no doubt a huge fan. The great thing about blazers is that you can wear them in neutrals, brights, or prints and they always look good. Plaid is my top pick because I love how it feels a little nostalgic yet trendy and cool. To wear this classic piece in a modern way, pair it with maxi skirts or dresses and belt it at the waist.

2. Collar Shirt
The collar shirt is one of those pieces you take from your S.O.’s closet and still look good. I especially love when it’s slightly oversized. With tailored bottoms like trousers and pencil skirts, you can tuck it in like I did. It would also look great in casual wear with jeans, cut-offs, or a mini skirt.

3. Tailored Trousers
Tailored trousers are perfect for menswear-inspired pieces because it’s something they’re notoriously known for wearing. To pull this off in a way that still looks lady-like, the fit has to be spot on. I high-waisted pairs that cut off slightly above the ankle. A slightly baggier style (like the one I’m wearing also works); just make sure you wear heels to add length and a slimming effect.

4. Loafers or Oxfords
Though not pictured here, I’m also a fan of loafers and oxfords – especially those with spontaneous details like a metallic finish or a creeper-style sole. We’ll often see men pairing them with suits or summer shorts. However, I love pairing mine with more feminine pieces like a ruffle skirt or a floral mini. You can also add a belted blazer in this instance for a cool, layered look.
