How to Shop in the Men’s Department

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Utah chapter.

Shopping in the men’s section has so many great benefits. There is double the amount of clothes to choose from, they are made from softer and comfier fabrics, and they tend to be perfect for achieving a laid back style. Here are some items you can snag from the men’s department (or your boyfriend’s closet) to incorporate into your wardrobe:  

T- Shirts.

These are great for pairing with leggings or wearing by themselves. When you pair them with leggings it creates a slouchy look, since it will have an oversized effect. You can also wear the t-shirts by themselves to get the perfect t-shirt dress. 

Sweaters.

Like men’s t-shirts, men’s sweaters make great dresses especially when it starts getting chillier outside. Pair with sheer tights or knee high socks to give a more feminine feel to the outfit. 

Flannels.

Flannel is everyone’s favorite. Of course, you can buy flannel in the women’s section, but men’s flannel tends to be thicker. Since there is less of a shape in men’s, you can also use it as a light jacket in the fall!

Graphic Tees and Tanks.

The men’s department has the best selection of graphic tees and tanks. You can cut them into crop tops for a more playful look, or you can tuck it into your favorite high-waisted skirt. If you need help on turning it into a crop top, here’s a tutorial!

Button-ups.

For a fun and quirky look you can tuck a men’s button up into your favorite high-waisted shorts or pants. There are all kinds of exciting prints to pick from. You can button it all the way up, or you can leave a few unbuttoned and roll up the sleeves.
