So what are you waiting for ...Go girl and Raid your Boyfriend, Husband, Brother or Mom's Wardrobe and you will surely end up with high-end fashionable items.. ..bcaz fashion travels full circle and what goes comes back in a while...plus its easy, fun and cheapest way possible to revamp your wardrobe,what you need is just a good eye and a creative mind:-)
List of useful items that can be raided:
His-Jeans: Baggy jeans have made a comeback, called as "Boyfriend Jeans" these days, they are loose-fit, rugged looking jeans that has quickly seduced all fashionable women. They are comfortable and practical and can be accessorized in so many ways. These jeans should be worn with a tight tank or t-shirt to reveal your feminine shape.
His T-Shirt : A man’s worn-in and oversized tee is the most comfortable and comforting piece of clothing on the planet And even better, it’s a perfect addition to your wardrobe! You can dress up the oversized tee by adding leggings, boots, and some glamorous accessories like chunky jewelry or an equally large colored scarf. Or you can keep the look totally casual and summer appropriate by wearing it with simple jean cut-off shorts.
His Button Down Shirt: Men’s button down shirts can look quite sexy when you show a little cleavage and cinch your waist with a good belt. Worn with anything from leggings to skirts, these shirts provide comfort and there’s something so fun about turning your boyfriend’s serious work shirt into your own casual look. The classic way to wear his button down is as a shirt dress. So throw on his shirt, add a belt at your waist, and some girly sandals or heels. Adding the belt is key to defining your body beneath all that fabric, try rolling the sleeves and wearing it as an oversized shirt with skinny jeans. Add a necklace on top and you’ll look totally chic.
His -watch: I love a man’s watch on a woman and what better way to try out the trend than by just borrowing your Bf's/Hubby's watch for few days? I raided my Dad's closet a few months back and got hold of a gold titan watch which has a vintage look to it...and I completely adore that watch..it's one of a kind classic ways to accessorise any outfit.
His -Accessories:You might also want to try borrowing his sunglasses, as many styles are now unisex, and different frames can help mix up your look. Also, if your boyfriend is one the rare few who wears Scarfs/Hats/Caps,definitley borrow them and look cool this summer with men's worn in your own way.
His-Blazers: Oversized Vests and Blazers have have made a huge comeback and every fahionista in town is sporting a new chic look with these blazers.,and the best part is it's so easy and versatile peice of clothing. You can Roll up the sleeves as some best blazers have interesting linings like white with a striped pattern. Preferably you can leave the jacket open.A best pick is to find one that fits you really well in the shoulders, but is loose elsewhere and pair it up with Skinny Jeans,white tee,Sailor stripped tee, a summer dress or even a denim short.
Her-Clutch: I absolutely adore those Vintage Bags ,Oversized Clutches ,Framed Mini purses that our Mom's and Granny's use to have.Go and raid the closet, chances are that they have a fabulous bag that must be lying unused for years somewhere in the closet.Suddenly the fashion scene is crowded with oversized clutch bags which are considered as better alternative over the strapped bags by many fashion chics.The oversized clutch bags can be a great daytime bag and are available in a variety of choices from some of the coolest brands.
Her-Jwellery: If your mom/Mom-in -law is a jwellery lover ,her jwellery box would surely have the finest of oversized rings and pendants ,long multipurpose chains, and charm bracelets,brooches and Pins.Mix and Match old with the new ,wear an old pendant with latest linked chains,use a watch dial as a pendant ,an old pendant as a brooch,mix gold and siver bangles, wear goldwatch with colourful fingerRings,Kundan kada with bronze and metal bracelets,it is surely a lot of fun to be your own stylist!!!
