Unisex fashion has come into the trends in a big way: think comfortable clothing and shirts that your boyfriend would wear. It’s a great way to add a bit of androgynous flair to your outfit. Here’s how it can update your look without you having to shell out money for new items.
1. You Make Your Clothing Versatile
Don’t you hate it when you have to figure out your weekly outfits for work and get stuck by the time you reach Thursday? By having a few staple unisex items in your wardrobe, you can make your style much more versatile. Unisex items really do go with everything and they’re usually in neutral colours which makes mixing ’n matching with them a breeze.
2.You Can Wear Your Boyfriend’s Clothes
If something looks really good on your boyfriend, you might get away with wearing it too – think long tops, high top sneakers, funky hoodies or even a tie. In fact, you could add a cool spin to the idea: wear a long shirt and strap a belt around it to rock the shirt dress trend this summer.
3. You Can Use it as Foundation
Since unisex fashion opens you up to different elements, you can really use it as a great foundation for your personal style because all you need to do is add an accessory or two to the look to show off your individuality. Less thought has to go into your outfit because unisex fashion is simpler, but that doesn’t mean you have to lose your style personality. Actually, just the opposite happens: you gain more items than you ever considered before.
4. You Upcycle Clothes You Don’t Like Anymore
A cool by-product of expanding your style horizons is that you might be able to re-wear clothing that you had thrown onto the wardrobe backburner. Perhaps that striped shirt that was a little too big after your recent weight-loss can now be brought back into your style file because it’s comfortable yet trendy, which is just what androgynous fashion ordered.
