Boyfriend jeans and button-up shirts – the must-have, easy-to-wear style for this season is borrowed from the boys. Why not take some styling hints from the men in your life and add some masculine lines and shape to your wardrobe? Here are some of our favourite ways to wear one of the most wearable trends around right now.

Navy shirt dress, £19.99, New Look

Get the boyfriend style with this blue shirt dress from New Look. The masculine lines combined with the feminine silhouette, created by the pulled-in waist, and gold detailing makes it essential for the transition into spring.

Monki Imoo boyfriend jean, £40, ASOS

Easy to wear and ridiculously chic, boyfriend jeans are the jeans to be seen wearing, especially when teamed with the right pieces.

BDG oversized shirt, £20, Urban Outfitters

This oversized, laid-back, loose fit white shirt is spot-on for the mannish trend. Its versatility means it’s a key piece to add to your wardrobe.

Alpaca and wool jumper, £55, Cos

The smart chicness of this alpaca wool jersey plays right into the hands of the straight-cut masculine luxe trend.

Black suede loafer, £68, Office

There is nothing more delicious than a classy loafer. The mixed textures and penny strap of this Vibe loafer means that this is shoe you can wear with a whole host of outfits to give them a little androgynous touch.

Stripe print shorts, £32.00, Topshop

Just because it’s cold outside it doesn’t mean you can’t don a pair of shorts and have a little fun! These blue striped boyish boxer-type shorts are spot-on trend (and really cute too).

Timex tortoise unisex watch, £60, Very.co.uk

Opt for the sleek sophistication of a manly watch. Look for interesting textures and materials like this tortoise strap watch to really give your look a (ahem) timeless feel.

Bouclé coat, £49.99, H&M

The boxy, oversized look of this grey wool jacket works well thrown over almost any outfit. It’s smart and elegant, not to mention it’s the jacket to be seen in this winter.

Tartan scarf, £15, New Look

Tartan blanket scarves are everywhere right now – go for a thinner version and wear it loose over a blazer or tailored coat to give your look a manly twist.

Masculine style blazer, £29.99, Mango

The epitome of the mannish luxe look is the suit blazer. Go for unstructured, oversized cuts with dropped shoulder seams for the some-guy-has-just-lent-me-his-jacket-because-he-thought-I-looked-cold vibe.
