When choosing an outfit for my boyfriend's birthday dinner, I struggled a bit with the balance of sexy and classy……a combo which is difficult to pull off! I ended up choosing a denim Rag & Bone button down top with leather trim, and my favorite leather shorts. In order to amp up my somewhat “conservative” outfit, I chose my knee-high, suede, Calvin Klein boots. Because, as we all know, there is a difference between looking attractive and stylish according to our fellow females, and sporting a “hot” outfit for the men in our lives. By accentuating my legs and remaining more conservative on top, I was able to master the male appeal and the female style I always aim for!
As a lover of fashion, I always want my boyfriend to look good. But shopping for him doesn't necessarily mean there is no benefit for myself. For years now, menswear inspired womenswear has been seen on the runways and in the streets. And now, conquering this style can be made even easier by "borrowing" from your significant other. This simple concept will allow you to sport the hottest trends, without of purchasing a whole new wardrobe for yourself. Everyone knows that being a fashionista on a budget isn't easy, but doubling your wardrobe, in this case, will cost you nothing. My simple trick to keeping the look feminine is a pair of leather leggings and a heeled bootie. As long as one womanly feature is emphasized, your menswear pieces will look edgy and chic, without overpowering your figure. All of the mens clothing above is from Rag & Bone and can be found on their website. The accessories are from a selection of designers found on saks.com. And lastly, the leather leggings are by Helmut Lang.
