10 MEN’S CLOTHING ITEMS YOU NEED TO OWN

Wear their clothes better than them


When we are so much better than men at everything, why not steal some of their sartorial options and rock them too? Blurring away the gender binary will open up more ways for you to ace the modern style game and at the same time gain more access to comfort and nonchalance. In fact, some items from the men’s section might actually be more flattering for tricky body types. Fitted dresses, showing some skin and walking around in high heels can be archaically stylish but, when done right, nothing can be sexier than donning some masculine garb. Here are 10 men’s clothing items you need to get hold of and some ideas to help you cross dress in a super stylish way.

1. Whitey Mightey


A classic white button down shirt will give you a cool, boxy look. Roll up the sleeves, pair it with ripped skinnies, summer sandals and add a dainty necklace. You can also tuck in one side and leave one out for a relaxed feel.

To wear it at night, team up with black leather pants and a black lace choker. Leave your hair in soft waves and sport some maroon lippy FTW.

2.  His jeans instead of boyfriend jeans


Why spend on the trending boyfriend jeans from the women’s department when you can get the same look in less by picking up men’s jeans instead? Try out the skin fit type in the men’s section and you can always go for a belt to keep them up and cuff them if they are a little too long. We bet you will get more comfort as well as a break from the overdone skinnies. Pair with a black off shoulder top, a cool pair of reflectors and embroidered denim loafers.

P.S. Check out the embroidered denim loafers at Chapter 13.

3.  Play red riding hood


A black men’s pullover hoodie paired with red pants is casual done right. Wear big silver hoops in the ears and opt for the no makeup look and a messy bun.

4. For the love of Paul Smith


If you have ever felt that women’s Peshawari chappals are uncomfortable around the toe area of your feet, go for classic tan ones made for the boys. They will work very well every time you slip into a casual t-shirt and jeans. Add a tan cross body bag and some ethnic rings to your look to femme things up.

5. Watch where you’re going


Chunky jewelry is in fashion so why not wear a men’s watch once in a while? Wear some beaded bracelets in different colours along with the watch and a leather band so create a happening look on your wrist. If you feel trendy and powerful wearing one, we will accept your note of thanks!

6. Say hi to the tie


Ties are not the best partners for suits only. Get your hands on some quirky patterned ties and pair them with solid shirts on days when the regular shalwar kurtas or cold shoulder tops feel boring.

7. Blazing hot


A black oversized blazer screams chic and you know where to find one from! Leave the buttons open and wear it with a maroon tee and dark blue skinnes. You can also simply drape the blazer on your shoulder. Add a gold bracelet or two on your wrists and some lip gloss for a hi-fashion look.

8.Waist that NOT


Get your hands on navy blue pin striped waist coat and wear it with a half sleeves grey t-shirt for a super chic look. For bottoms you can go for white skinnies or wide legged pants. Don’t forget a bag with a long silver sling, little shiny studs in the ears and a feminine silver bracelet.

9. Camouflage the sweat.


Grab a grey sweatshirt from the men’s section and pair it with camouflage pants (which are all the rage ATM). You can pick skinnies or a more relaxed fitting, depending on your style. Tie your hair in a messy ponytail and experiment with the colour of your shoes.

10. Plaid it right.


Play the queen of quirk with a red plaid men’s shirt paired with jeans and a black bomber. Don’t forget to add a pair of cat eye sunglasses for some casual glam.
