Man, I Feel Like a Woman

by Emily

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?

i do have a “boyfriend-fit” white shirt, and it’s gotten me a lot of attention, for some reason the men love it when you wear their clothes…
good post as usual, it makes me wish i wasn’t just a student so i could buy that bag!
2 EMILIE { 11.04.09 at 1:57 am }: Love the cardigan, the jeans and the shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!

6 eringhani { 11.04.09 at 3:25 am }: You’re right! I love the whole thing in this post<3
7 Rosa { 11.04.09 at 3:36 am }: I LOVE the Oxford trend! I have a pair myself.
8 Fanny G { 11.04.09 at 3:56 am }: LOOVE the watch. And the blazer, and the jeans…
9 Erin { 11.04.09 at 4:55 am }: YES I WILL, I love the boy meets girl look, and besides, everyone knows that boys clothes are more comfortable
10 Closet Cravings { 11.04.09 at 5:13 am }: I love the masculine look because it manages to be comfy and chic. I love boyfriend jeans and classic blazers. =)
11 Katie { 11.04.09 at 5:40 am }: Recently I bought the boyfriend jeans and now it is all I ever want to wear. I love the pieces you put together and wish I could buy it all! This style is also fun with a pair of chuck taylors if you are looking for even more casual. Great post!
12 Snapshot Fashion { 11.04.09 at 5:42 am }: love these looks you pulled. i love the masculine look when it is done right
13 Pretty Little World { 11.04.09 at 6:04 am }: I think that watch is my favorite of the pieces — I can’t quite believe it’s under $200! It just looks so much more expensive than that!

Love the whole post!
14 The Fancier { 11.04.09 at 6:08 am }: I love the “boyish” trend and I think I pretty much own everything in your set. Sometimes it’s nice not to have to feel constrained and contorted in your clothes and simply just comfortable.
15 thebeautyfile { 11.04.09 at 6:09 am }: I love the watch, glasses and blazer. I could never in a million years wear the shoes, as much as I would love to…or maybe I could?? Totally want to see how you style those shoes!
16 Melissa { 11.04.09 at 6:51 am }: LOVE the greys!!
17 Christina { 11.04.09 at 7:00 am }: Yea, I agree. All of these pieces either combined or used separately can look stunning on a woman.
18 Brianne { 11.04.09 at 7:05 am }: I think I need to get that watch! I also love the bag, but its a little out of my price range
19 Sally { 11.04.09 at 7:08 am }: I can never pull off the boyfriend/androgynous look myself … I always look like I’m in drag!
20 Couture Cookie { 11.04.09 at 7:16 am }: Funny, I almost see it as the other way around. I love it when guys wear feminine clothes (exception for my boyfriend, who I prefer to see in classic guy clothing)…. but I don’t care much for this fall’s menswear trend for women.
21 stacy di { 11.04.09 at 7:19 am }: I love all the looks…and am totally embracing the masculine trend…
22 Jacqueline { 11.04.09 at 7:39 am }: I love the shoes and the blazer, everything actually. What a great look!

Check out all my designer shoes and daily outfits at http://www.fashionsnag.com!
23 Tara { 11.04.09 at 7:42 am }: The “Stole my boyfriends clothes” look is fantastic! it is one of my favorites! Great Post.

24 Lexie { 11.04.09 at 7:45 am }: as long as the pieces are semi- tailored to fit my frame, i’d wear any of these!
25 mart and lu { 11.04.09 at 7:47 am }: i love it! that is totally how i am with my fiance…i particularly enjoy borrowing his oversized sweaters. that way i can just wear them over a pair of tights!
26 Liv { 11.04.09 at 8:08 am }: While I completely agree with you, and love to wear my boyfriend’s t-shirts and sweaters when he’s not around, now I’m gonna be stuck with that song in my head for the rest of the day!!! :p

27 CL { 11.04.09 at 8:11 am }: It’s absolutely gorgeous! I have a lot of the pieces shown, and I love wearing them – it’s a great look.
28 Gabrielle { 11.04.09 at 8:11 am }: i already do! but i like to rock the calculator watch!
29 Kelly @ Dare to be Domestic { 11.04.09 at 8:20 am }: At first I wasn’t feeling the whole boyfriend fit jeans… then I tried them on… heaven! And I wasn’t pleased about the cardigans coming back in boyfriend fit. Then I bought one and actually I’m really in love. It makes me feel like a kid again when long sweaters and stretch pants were all the rage!
30 Lauren Estep { 11.04.09 at 8:25 am }: I too love the look of a girl in what could be or are a guy’s clothes. In fact, today I am wearing a cardigan similar to the one in your post (it how0ever, was only $20 from F21!) Great post with some great finds
31 Jane { 11.04.09 at 8:32 am }: I love it because ironically, I feel like you have to be really feminine to pull off this look. At least, that’s how I feel.

And that tote. AHH I want it!

37 The Budget Babe { 11.04.09 at 10:17 am }: i love the masculine trend.. and feel it shouldn’t be called masculine since so many women embrace it!
38 Cafe Fashionista { 11.04.09 at 10:20 am }: Boys clothes always make me giddy. I will most definitely be embracing the masculine trend!
39 Kristie Bertucci { 11.04.09 at 10:31 am }: I love the boyfriend look and love those CE jeans!

40 Mara { 11.04.09 at 11:03 am }: sigh totally love those shoes! i need to find a pair that isn’t so expensive though
41 Bargain Bex { 11.04.09 at 11:10 am }: Oh yes indeed-y, I will most certainly be rockin’ this masculine style trend.

Already have the grey, patent leather-y oxfords and long tunic tees to prove it … now all I need is an oversized blazer/cardigan

42 sil { 11.04.09 at 11:22 am }: Haha, I have the shoes and the glasses :d

(also nice in combination with very girly dresses)
43 jaeve+tings { 11.04.09 at 11:26 am }: i’ve always wanted to embrace it but i think i’ll look like a dork.
44 Rachel (heart of light) { 11.04.09 at 11:43 am }: I’d take the watch in an instant! Although I own quite a few watches and I don’t think I’ve worn one in over a year.
45 Highdee { 11.04.09 at 12:10 pm }: Yeah, frickin great. Too bad I feel and look like a boy too much already sometimes, that people confuse me for a boy.

52 Marsi @ The Cottage Cheese { 11.04.09 at 2:49 pm }: 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!)
53 Jessica (Haute Teapot) { 11.04.09 at 2:52 pm }: 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.
54 Being Loving Doing { 11.04.09 at 2:56 pm }: 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

56 Nicole { 11.04.09 at 3:15 pm }: I wasn’t quite sure of the outfit but when I read your description I felt totally in love with it, I’ll try to pull it off one day, just to try and hear opinions from friends and new ones
57 Taylor { 11.04.09 at 4:01 pm }: Great choices Emily! I couldn’t agree more. I love the shoes you picked above!

59 Nicole Marie { 11.04.09 at 5:47 pm }: yes please! can’t get me out of my boyfriend jeans and i just bought a big micheal kors boyfriend watch that i’m completely obsessed with!
love all these picks you chose especially the chloe bag!
60 Shelly { 11.04.09 at 5:49 pm }: Oh great…just what I need ANOTHER Michael Kors watch! LOVE IT! The only thing I would do different with this look is wear some heels instead. I can’t be too manly!

65 Mrs. Sitcom { 11.05.09 at 9:43 am }: Love all those pieces. And, um, yeah…notsomuch with the men-wearing-feminine-stuff. Nothanks.

69 Mockoff { 11.05.09 at 4:59 pm }: Those glasses are so Brad Goreski (from Rachel Zoe Project).
70 georgina { 11.05.09 at 10:47 pm }: i think you’re so right. wear masculine clothes, but add femininity with red lipstick and messy hair. great post!

71 katie { 11.06.09 at 9:11 am }: i love this outfit – especially the shoes! however, they are slightly out of my price range – can you suggest any cheaper alternatives??
72 Alya { 11.08.09 at 2:24 pm }: Gosh that is so true. A man dressing like a woman is such a turn-off, but a woman dressing in men’s stuff is so cute. I wonder why!
73 Chloe { 11.08.09 at 11:54 pm }: Love the jeans and the cardigan.
