Oversized items have definitely taken over the scene. Girls are running to their boyfriends, best friends, or boo things, closet and are stealing more than basketball shorts. Lately we’ve been obsessed with boyfriend jeans but let’s go back to where the trend started and that is with the boyfriend blazer!
The perfect boyfriend blazer has to have the perfect fit, ideal for your bust size (with the right jacket closure), waist and hip area. You never want to go too oversized because the blazer will drown you, and more buttons like the double breasts style tends to make you appear heavier and create an imbalance of your silhouette. Once you’ve found the perfect blazer, it’s time to build your wardrobe with updated styles with, of course, your blacks and navy blues. Those two colors alone are the super essentials because its goes with pretty much anything! Next maybe one of girl’s favorite things to do after purchasing something new; it’s time to play dress up and create outfits to go with your boyfriend blazer. A match made in outfit heaven is the blazer and or denim combination. Pair it with the obvious classic dark wash, or add some sassiness with distressed or acid wash jeans; but don’t forget the denim shorts for the casual look! For the perfect fall look, a great pair of leggings, tall riding boots, a cable knit sweater and scarf should be a go to outfit when you’re feeling lazy. For the party scene a boyfriend blazer works too! Over a mini dress, it’s the perfect balance between sexy, sleek and chic. To find more outfit inspiration, British celeb Alexa Chung is great with mixing the basics with the trendy!
Next we have the little twin sisters to the boyfriend blazer, the boyfriend Tee and the Boyfriend Button Up. Both are versatile and extra comfy! When styling both garments a little leg never seem to hurt anyone. Miniskirts and shorts go great in creating a flattering silhouette. If you find the shirt is a little too large, add some gathering by making a small knot. For the tomboy meets girl look pair both shirts with the newest edition to the boyfriend craze, the boyfriend jean and Ked’s. For a going out look, ditch the tee and go with the button up paired with great skinny jeans, boyfriend blazer, sky-high stilettos and great jewelry, and of course make up.
Lastly we have the latest trend, and that is the boyfriend jean! Paired effortlessly with girly tops, ladylike heels, and fun accessories, it’s set out to be a must-have for the fall. But some of us aren’t quite sure how to style it. You can dress them up with a fitted top and high-heeled sandals (like the single sole sandal trend) or just embrace the tomboy-ness with a great tee and low top sneakers like Nike SB’s or Vans. You can also be super trendy and wear a great crop top with a low heels sandal with super distressed boyfriend jeans and wide brim hat.
Pinterest is a great place to find more boyfriend inspiration, and Polyvore is great with the visuals and an awesome way to virtually get your practice in before hitting the stores creating outfits with the boyfriend fit in mind. I think mastering these trends can all be so simple, but we’d rather make them harder than the regular.
