BOYFRIEND MATERIAL: Nail the ‘borrowed from the boys’ trend

This playful-but-powerful trend blurs the lines between masculine and feminine dressing - and it’s easier to nail than you might think.

Our love of ‘80s-inspired fashion isn’t fading any time soon (we’re looking at you, blazers, big shoulders, and loose jackets), and boyish dressing is its natural next step.

Want to go all in? The fashion-forward can take on this trend with entirely outsized outfits: a softened play on the full city-boy suit. Think boxy button-down shirts in loose fits, worn alongside wide-cut trousers in coordinating colours. Get practicing your Windsor knot technique: our pinstripe, faux leather or suede ties are guaranteed conversation-starters.

Prefer to ease in? Just one outsized piece—like an oversized trench or boxy blazer—easily gives your look that borrowed-but-better energy. Try playing with proportions: a close-fitting tee looks fresh and flattering with those loose-cut bottoms. Our Head of Styling, Natalie Fuorvito, suggests a baggy blazer cinched in with a belt for instant impact.

As for the perfect shoes, turn up the contrast on your boyish ensemble with a pair of kitten heels, or go head-to-toe masculine with a chunky brogue. Gold-toned jewellery is our favourite finishing touch for that pulled-together polish. Who says boys have all the fun?
