He's not just for companionship- the boyfriend-inspired look

Good Morning!!

Boyfriends, Friends, Homie-Lover-Friends whatever you call them; they're not just for companionship anymore...they're a part of fall's fashion inspiration! The boyfriend-inspired look has been around for awhile, but most of us usually just use his clothes until we can change into something of our own. Not anymore... elements of this look have popped up all over the place as a fall trend!

I experimented with this look by accident the other day- I had on jeans, a cami and cardigan, I went for a pedicure and when it was over I didn't pull down my jeans-when I got home I walked past the mirror and said "Oh, I like this". So then I put on some heels to match and I absolutely fell in love with this look! Since then I've funked it up a bit- adding a cute belt over the cardigan to give me the illusion of a waist.... seriously this is a good look!

It's an easy look to pull together, making it an ultimate "effortless" look - here's the "recipe" :

One part boyfriend jean

Distressed Weekend Jean, Old Navy $36.50; Distressed Boyfriend Jean, Lane Bryant $69.50; Calvin Klein Gibson Jean, Nordstroms, $69.50

(Also look at Torrid's selection, here)

One part cardigan or blazer

Boyfriend Cardigan, Old Navy $34.50; Necessary Objects Open-Front Boyfriend Blazer, Macy's $79; Blue Boyfriend Cardigan, Evans 28 GP


One part chunky heel or flat

Dollhouse Tan Simone Heel,Torrid $92; Sassi, Nine West $79.99; Steve Madden Marlene PlatformPump, Endless $76.90

Add cami or tee of your choice, blend with accessories & mix well! Walk out the door, & Enjoy!

If you like to keep it comfortable then this look is worth trying- it's a cute mix of feminine & masculine - allowing you to keep it basic but then letting you play with colors and accessories... Think this is look you'll be willing to try out? (at least in the mirror?)
