For hot summer style, try subtly inspired menswear looks: pair light, airy sundresses with a cropped tuxedo jacket, or loose pinstripe trousers with a chiffon blouse with ultra-feminine detailing.

As guys are cut differently than most of us gals,it’s unfortunately not so easy to raid your boyfriend’s closet (though, this shouldn’t necessarily be discounted as an option). However there are quite a few places where we can skip the ladies department and go straight to the men’s section.

Use this Gucci Money clip/case to hold your business cards; or toughen up a femme blouse with men’s cufflinks, like these lux onyx cufflinks from David Yurman. Try a men’s watch, like this rich chocolatey brown version from Toywatch.

Just play up the contrast as masculine overkill will give the impression you’re play-acting instead rather than making a fashion statement.
