Fashion Do: Oversized Boyfriend Styles

The Boyfriend Blazer

Oversized boyfriend styles have been trendy for a little while now and it doesn't look like they are going anywhere for the time being! Probably the most popular boyfriend style item is the boyfriend blazer. Lots of celebrities have been spotted recently wearing boyfriend blazers (Above: Sienna Miller, Sarah Jessica Parker, Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss). The key to summerizing this piece is to choose a boyfriend blazer in a lighter fabric and in a lighter color as pictured above on SJP and Kate Moss. My favorite pieces to wear with a boyfriend blazer are either a mini dress or skinny jeans/pants.

The Boyfriend Shirt

Finally, another popular item in the boyfriend trend is the boyfriend shirt, which is also quite popular amongst the celebs (Above: Alexa Chung, Jessica Alba, Emily Blunt). The two most popular styles of boyfriend shirts are currently the denim chambray boyfriend shirt and the plaid boyfriend shirt. You can wear your boyfriend shirt loose over skinny jeans or leggings or tucked into a pencil skirt for a more polished look. Below are some boyfriend shirts to consider: Boyfriend banker shirt for $54.50 on www.gap.com; Civil Smith oxford chambray boyfriend shirt for $128 on www.piperlime.com; Denim boyfriend shirt for $58 on www.victoriassecret.com; Kettle Black plaid boyfriend shirt on sale for $60.50 on www.shopbop.com; Victorialand boyfriend shirt for $168 on www.shopbop.com; Trovata plaid boyfriend shirt for $150 on www.piperlime.com; Urban Renewal denim boyfriend shirt for $48 on www.urbanoutfitters.com; Plaid boyfriend shirt for $59.50 on www.bananarepublic.com; Patterson J.

The key to pulling off any boyfriend style is to not overdo it. It you are wearing boyfriend jeans or shorts, wear a more fitted top. And vice versa for the boyfriend blazer or shirt -- go fitted on the bottom with skinny jeans or a tighter skirt. I personally have invested in at least one of each of these items!
