Have you got nothing to wear again? Or do you simply not have the money? Next time you want to upgrade your wardrobe, you can help yourself to your better half's wardrobe.
I don't know about you, but my husband is constantly stealing creams and hairsprays from my bathroom cupboard. For my part, I return the favour by "borrowing" things from his cupboard. So it's not unusual for him to ask me if it's his shirt. Not that we're the same size, but I've always been a fan of oversized clothes. I just don't like skin-tight clothes. If I do, then only my skinny jeans are form-fitting. The top can be loose - the airier, the better. I'll tell you which pieces you can steal from his wardrobe the next time you have nothing to wear:
#1 The white shirt
This classic piece of clothing is particularly cool and anything but staid if it's not tight and fitted. If the shirt is too long for you, tuck the ends into your waistband or let them peek out cheekily under your denim mini. I always roll up my sleeves. The look looks particularly casual when paired with high heels. [[productlist:9521720]]
#2 The blazer
Why should I buy an oversized blazer when my husband already has several jackets in his wardrobe that are too big for me anyway? Exactly! I combine the jacket with jeans and sneakers or in the evening, draped over my shoulders over a Kleid.
#3 The belt
He certainly won't mind if you make another hole in his "hip belt" with a pair of hole punch pliers. As the saying goes: sharing is caring. [[productlist:6610737]]
#4 The bomber jacket
I'm a fan of pilot jackets, but only if they're not feminine and cropped, as is unfortunately the case with women's styles. It's just a good thing that my husband owns a model that he doesn't wear very often.
#5 The wristwatch
Dear chronometer manufacturers: why do you actually design the nicer models for men? That's why I occasionally grab a watch from my husband. And because it's too big for me, I wear it casually on my wrist over a jumper or blouse. [[productlist:6961076]]
#6 The trainers
If you're the same shoe size as your partner... at least you can steal their kicks. So you're in luck. [[productlist:6347941]]
My personal highlight: With his clothes, not only am I stylishly dressed, but I also have no expenses. After all, it's my husband who constantly tells me to spend less money on clothes. A win-win situation for both of us. [[image:15417887,15417888]] [[small:]]
