If you do not own a boyfriend shirt, then you don’t know what you’re missing out on. The boyfriend shirt is a long, loose shirt that gives the impression that you’ve put on your boyfriend’s clothes (hence the name). You can create some very trendy and sexy looks with this piece of clothing. Not convinced yet? Well let me show you some interesting ways in which you can rock the boyfriend shirt.
The easiest way to wear a boyfriend shirt is with a pair of shorts. Tuck in the shirt to create a casual look that suggests you got out of bed and wore the first thing you could lay your hands on. A checked shirt with denim shorts is a classic look that you will want to try. Just make sure the shorts are really short and snug-fitting to counteract the loose fit of the boyfriend shirt. Here are some pictures that you can take as inspirations.

You can also wear a boyfriend shirt as a jacket, layering it with a bodycon dress or a summer dress. This will take your look from sweet and girly to edgy and rustic, creating an interesting contrast between the feminine dress and the oh-so-masculine look of the boyfriend shirt.
