Trend Talk Tuesdays: Borrowed from Boyfriend
Love it or hate it, the borrowed-from-boyfriend look is definitely making its mark on the trendsetters' must-haves lists. First, there was the boy-leg shorts which was patterned after the boxers (both worn as innerwear), Then there was the boyfriend jeans that girl were going crazy for – even if she was san male companionship. So if you thought designers and fashion hungry women would draw the line there, boy were you wrong! It seems man-coats, work shirts and Oxford shoes have also been given an update to fit the fairer sex.

We found out rummaging through your boyfriend’s wardrobe can be fun especially when you run out of things to wear.

Boyfriend shirts straight off the runway.
After using their shirt, we try on their jeans as an alternative to skinny jeans. Those baggy jeans are to be topped with something to accentuate our feminine curves. And they also look nicer rolled up and paired with heels or flats.

Take a cue from Katie Holmes who were among the first to be spotted with the boyfriend (or in her case husband, Tom Cruise’s) jeans.

The boyfriend jeans can also be spotted on runways.
Then we have the boyfriend blazer with celebrities like Kate Moss and Agyness Deyn pioneering the look.
The sleeves is best rolled up to give a more laid-back look rather than a formal one.

After stealing all their clothes, we just had to use their accessories as well. The bows, suspenders and ties, you name it. The latest trend to hit us girls are the boyfriend watch!

Spotted on celebrities like Sienna Miller and Ashley Olsen, the face of the watch should be bigger to look more chic.
Luckily for us, we might not need to nick our clothes and accessories off our brothers/boyfriends/male friends anymore ever since Swatch has come up with a unisex watch called Chromo Automatic in two colors: black and silver.
Here’s a few look on how you can wear the boyfriend watch
Do you think it's too boyish for us girls? Will you wear this trend?
