I love the idea of borrowing a shirt from G's side of the closet—in theory, wearing one of his tailored shirts with skinny jeans and pumps sounds like the perfect casual, but sexy outfit. In practice, I more often looked like a slouchy, potentially hungover mess. Pretty much the opposite of sexy-cute. This blouse from Rag & Bone has the look and feel of a man's tailored shirt, but plays with the off-the-shoulder trend in a sophisticated, preppy way. When worn with skinny jeans and pumps it creates a polished (not laughable) borrowed-from-the-boys look for Saturday afternoon oysters with friends. Looks like G's shirts are safe for now.

I've always admired menswear, to the point where I'll click on the Men's section of a website just to peruse (even if I know there's nothing there for G). When I came across the brand, Capulet, I was instantly drawn to its background story—it's owned and designed by three men ...read more
