How many times have you borrowed his T-shirt for the night, or stolen his favorite shirt because it paired so well with your work-appropriate skinny jeans?

Speaking of jeans, the whole "Hey, his clothes looks pretty cool" concept led to the apparition of boyfriend jeans, which are basically baggy jeans that resemble those worn by men and which have an addictive masculine charm to them.

On top of that, designers have introduced menswear-inspired clothing for women as well, so if you like this sort of style, here are some tips to make the boyfriend trend your own.

Select a Shirt

Even if your boyfriend's shirts look quite appealing, you won't need to borrow them anymore.

Top designers like Alexander Wang and renowned brands including Seven For All Mankind, Old Navy and Gap are featuring their own versions of masculine shirts intended for women's use.

Menswear-inspired shirts are a bit slouchier, but some are still created in such a way they enhance a woman's curves.

You will be able to find crisp white shirts for whenever you feel like sporting a classic look, or you may also sport awesome button-down shirts featuring less neutral shades. How about prints?

The most popular printed menswear-inspired shirts come in the form of lumberjack-inspired pieces made of flannel.

While the red and black pattern may look incredibly suitable for a rockfish edgy look, black and purple plaids along with tan-and-pink combos make for excellent versions if you're looking for a bit more femininity.

Proportion is Key when Choosing

If you like the comfort of wearing baggy masculine shirts, you have got to make sure the rest of your outfit lacks volume.

You can go for the bare leg look and pair your boyfriend shirt with a cool belt to accentuate your waist; this way, you'll acquire a nice casual shirtdress for whenever you don't feel like compromising on comfort.

In addition, you can also match your menswear-inspired shirt with a pair of shorts, leggings or some skinny jeans.

Add some heels with that, and the whole masculine look will suddenly get a hell of a lot sexier.

Putting It Together

Don't Forget to Accent with Ultra-Feminine Touches

When wearing boyfriend clothes, you need to always show some skin to ensure a certain level of sexiness that will counteract the snooze that may affect your outfit when embracing the trend.

Whether you opt to pair your boyfriend shirt with shorts or a fitted mini, or you simply prefer to unbutton your shirt to reveal an appealing cleavage, always remember that embracing the masculine look doesn't have to turn your ensemble into a boring one.

Your accessories or the way you wear your hair can also influence the way the masculine trend looks on you.

Get creative to prevent your boyfriend shirt from losing its feminine potential.

For example, you can choose to give up wearing a blazer in chillier days, and favor a soft-hued cropped sweater instead.

A stiff collar can be counteracted through a beautiful pair of chandelier earrings whilst a pile of delicate bracelets will enhance your delicate wrist.

Don't forget to count on a slim belt to ensure an appealing slender look.

If you want your trendy boyfriend clothes to scream sexy, you can always bet on a red lipstick paired with a sleek ponytail hairstyle or you may wear your hair ruffled as if you've just rolled out of bed.
