One Of The Boys
Boys will be boys, but now the girls can join too
Attention,
Attention: baggy jeans and shirts are back in style, and us gals could not be
happier! I mean who doesn’t want to ditch their skinny jeans for a pair of
oversized, destructed pants? Lucky for you, one of the biggest trends of the Spring and Summer 2017 season will be the “boyfriend” style. We’re here to tell you how to work it, and
where exactly in Toronto you can be sure to find what your inner tomboy is
looking for.
The Basics:
Let’s start off
with a staple that you will need to complete the overall look. The “Plain White
Tee”, and no I am not talking about the band that had a one hit wonder a
decade ago. This “PWT” should be a little loose fitting (maybe go one size up
from your regular), and have an informal neckline (try a “v-neck” style). For
the perfect fit, try Artizia’s “Talula” brand tee, which comes in a variety of
other pretty colours to suit your preference. The shirt is made from a silky
soft jersey, which means you may never want to take this baby off. It retails
for $35.00, and it is worth every penny.
The Holey Grail:
Finding the
perfect fitting jeans is like finding a needle in a haystack, it takes way too
long and most of us give up before succeeding. Well, thankfully for this style,
boyfriend jeans are flattering on any body type. On top of that, there is an
added bonus of being able to cheaply thrift jeans and distress
them yourself. Adding authenticity and individuality to an outfit is of the
utmost importance these days, and this is the perfect way to start. Check out
one of the many Value Villages in the downtown core and pull your favourites.
Steal His Sweater:
Did we mention
this look would keep you cozy on those cool summer nights? Of course, if you
have a significant other you could ask to raid his closet. For everyone else,
no fear! Urban Outfitters has that oversized varsity sweater that you have been
dreaming of. Now you can live out that high school fantasy of dating the
football star and becoming prom queen. Pair this with those distressed jeans
and you have really got something. This Urban Outfitters exclusive is priced at $69.00.
She’s Gone Country (not really though):
Another essential
that you will need is a baggy plaid shirt. Don’t worry if you’re not into the “country”
look per say, you’ve got more options. There are plenty of solid coloured
button ups that will do here as well. Our favourite store to shop for plaids
has got to be Brandy Melville. Every store some unique styles and they come a
little “pre distressed” so the shirt does not look so brand new. Prices range
from $30.00-50.00.
Cropped:
We have to bring
back a little girlyness to this look somehow. That is where the crop top makes
its comeback. Since we are talking summer here, showing a little skin never
hurt anybody! This shirt can be worn underneath the baggy button up or on its
own. And yes, this is another great staple that you can thrift by cutting and
making your own out of any shirt you find, or if you want – head to any cheap
department store.
