The Boyfriend’s Back
The boyfriend’s back! As modeled by Ashley Tisdale, pair this season’s destructed boyfriend jeans or more preppy boyfriend chinos with a cropped tee, hi-lo top, or open knit sweater. Layer on a bold belt buckle (we’re all about flaunting a logo), then add a chunky pair of platform sandals or wedges to add a decidedly girly edge. Oversized aviators keep the androgynous look going, since these classic frames are adored by both the sexes. Plan a date with the boyfriend for next weekend!

Much-loved classic. Current/Elliott gets the look right with their boyfriend cropped jeans. Just the right amount of slouch combined with vintage-inspired distressing and cute cropped legs ensure that this boyfriend has longevity.
2. Vince Boyfriend Chino Pants ($195)
Prefer preppy? Go for the boyfriend chino. Nab school boy charm with these blush-colored chinos. Straight legs with a higher rise, slant hip pockets, and back welt pockets guarantee an authentic menswear look. Try with flats and nautical stripes for a sweet, slouchy look.
3. Daftbird Oversized Pocket Sweater ($108)
All-in-one. Capturing many trends in one top, this sweater covers the bases with an open knit, hi-low hem, and relaxed fit. Pair back to your boyfriend’s then wear into summer with cutoffs or over your bikini. Short dolman sleeves and an oversized pocket add to its free-spirited nature.
4. Gucci Signature Leather Belt ($166)
Logo love. Sport your designer pride with a logo belt buckle. Not only does it showcase your good taste, its chunky size and classic brown leather are menswear-inspired, and therefore perfectly suited for boyfriend bottoms. Interlocking gold G’s on brown leather.
5. DKNY Jennifer Suede Wedge Sandals ($235)
Balance is key. Strike the right balance with a chunky platform or solid wedge. The sexy straps on these DKNY wedges also provide a feminine contrast to masculine jeans. Neutral taupe and comfortable elastic straps make these sandals wear-with-all’s.
6. Marc by Marc Jacobs Oversized Aviator Sunglasses ($110)
His or hers. Marc Jacobs does justice to the iconic aviator with these oversized frames. Fabulous style is in the details: metal frames and gradient lenses with logo lettering at left lens and at enamel-inlaid temples. Layer with any look!
