Man, I Feel Like a Woman

November 4th, 2009

I never find it particularly sexy when a man wears feminine pieces (think necklaces and man-purses).   But when a woman dresses as if she’s stolen things from her boyfriend’s closet, it exudes a whole new level of seductiveness that just can’t quite be accomplished in a frilly dress.  It’s the perfect opportunity to throw on some matte red lipstick, tousle your hair and embrace your femininity in a whole new way.  Here are some of the pieces that I’d be happy to share with my boyfriend.

Blazer – McQ $555
Glasses – UO $10
Cardigan – Topshop $80
Watch – Michael Kors $195
Jeans – Current/Elliott $245
T-shirt – Kain $90
Tote – Chloé $2,030
Shoes – Church’s $425

Will you be embracing this masculine trend?

  2. I love this look! Just by changing the cardigan for the blazer, you have two different outfits. Too bad I don’t have 3 grand to buy everything, but I will definitely be recreating this look on a budget. This is more my style than girlie (although I still love a flirty dress!)

  3. I totally steal pieces from my boyfriend’s closet somewhat often. ; ) I’ve done a couple of posts with his sweater, shirt, whatever I can get my lil hands on! I have to say though, I do want to steal a necklace of his, he made it with an old bullet casing and used a piece of purple agate.

  4. I’ve always dressed like a boy for casual event, grocery shopping and stuff like that. Converse, bombers and so on. But I can’t embrace this new trend of stealing your boyfriend whole more dressed up wardrobe. I can borrow only one thing at a time. Most of the time the jacket or shirt watch. But A total look is not possible. I’m not fan of the boyfriend jean at all
