Ladies it’s time for us to step off of our fashion soapboxes and take a lesson or two from the great men in our lives — and yes, this might require taking a peek into their closets for inspiration.
The best thing about menswear is its streamline and classic cuts that never go out of style. The key to pulling this off is simple: look for tailored and proportional pieces and pair it with the fun accessories you already have and love. We guarantee you’ll be thanking them — and maybe even purchasing a thing or two from the men’s section the next time you go shopping.
