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. Below are some boyfriend blazers to consider: Central Park West "Daytona" ponte boyfriend blazer for $141 on http://www.piperlime.com/; Boyfriend blazer for $120 on www.bananarepublic.com; Charlotte Ronson double breasted boyfriend blazer for $315 on www.shopbop.com; Central Park West "Miami" gathered sleeve boyfriend blazer for $152 on www.piperlime.com; Doki Geki ruched sleeve boyfriend blazer for $48 on www.nordstrom.com; Halogen linen boyfriend blazer for $98 on www.nordstrom.com; Sparkle & Fade shawl collar boyfriend blazer for $78 on www.urbanoutfitters.com; MM Couture striped boyfriend blazer for $88 on http://www.piperlime.com/; Charles Gray linen boyfriend blazer for $198 on http://www.nordstrom.com/.


The Boyfriend Jean

Boyfriend jeans have also been trendy for quite a while now (Above: Kate Beckinsdale, Cassie, Reese Witherspoon, and Halle Berry). As seen above the most popular way to wear boyfriend jeans is cuffed at the bottom. You can dress them up with a pair of heels as seen on Cassie above or down with a pair of flip flops as seen on Halle Berry above. Below are some boyfriend jeans to consider: Blue London low boyfriend jean on sale for $39.50 on www.victoriassecret.com; Current/Elliot boyfriend jean for $179 on www.shopbop.com; Blank Denim cropped boyfriend jean for $78 on www.shopbop.com; Distressed boyfriend jean for $69.50 on www.gap.com; Level 99 boyfriend crop jean for $114 on www.piperlime.com; Distressed boyfriend jean for $24.90 on www.forever21.com; Levi 501 white cap boyfriend jean on sale for $29.99 on www.urbanoutfitters.com; Heritage cropped boyfriend jean for $89.50 on www.bananarepublic.com.

The Boyfriend Short

Boyfriend jeans are getting shorter for the summer months! Lots of celebrities have recently been spotted wearing boyfriend shorts (Above: Isla Fisher, Rhianna, Gweneth Paltrow, Anna Paquin). Remember, the older you are the longer the shorts should be. Below are some boyfriend shorts to consider: Blue London relaxed boyfriend short for $49.50 on www.victoriassecret.com; Chambray boyfriend cut-off short for $49.50 on www.gap.com; Blank Denim studded boyfriend short for $78 on www.shopbop.com; Blue London embroidered boyfriend short for $49.50 on www.victoriassecret.com; Jolt stretch denim boyfriend short for $34 on www.nordstrom.com; Rich & Skinny boyfriend short for $150 on www.piperlime.com; Heritage slouchy boyfriend roll-up short for $79.50 on www.bananarepublic.com.

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. Kincaid "Brian" gingham boyfriend shirt for $98 on www.piperlime.com (I have this shirt and LOVE it!!)

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!
