Maybe it’s because I have two brothers, but wearing “girl” clothes was never something I cared that much about growing up. Even today, I will wear borrow shirts from my boyfriend to wear out or I’ll scope out things to try on in the men’s section of stores.
You can find your style inspiration anywhere and it doesn’t have to run down gender lines. Girls can totally wear “guys” clothes! The thing with fashion is that you should be able to wear whatever you want, regardless of how it’s divided up in the store.
So shop how you want to shop, amirite? Here are ten items I found online that were listed in the “mens” departments, but that I would totally wear this summer.
Canvas Jacket
One summer vacation, I watched all of Freaks and Geeks... repeatedly. Ever since I saw Lindsay Weir sporting a green, military-style jacket, I've been on the look out for one just like hers. This one seems like it's coming pretty close. Buy it for $53 from Old NavyGraphic T-Shirt
This. Yes. I wear pretty big glasses, so I appreciate that this giraffe has similar style. Also, it's a giraffe! It's just so out there that I want to wear it now and be glasses twins. Summer is about being carefree and this is perfect. Buy it for $24 from Urban OutfittersSocks
I default to wearing sneakers year round, even in the summertime. These socks were listed in the men's section, but these would be amazing on anyone's feet. Fun socks are the best and ones with dinosaurs set a pretty high bar. Buy them for $8 from Urban OutfittersSweater
I love a good cardigan. I mean, who doesn't? This one looks super cozy and perfect for summer when it's too hot for a real jacket, but there's still a little breeze. Buy it for $49.50 from HollisterTank Top
Sadly, I do not live particularly close to the beach, but pops of neon color are always welcome in the summer months, as is a surf theme. Buy it for $19.95 from American EagleHat
Real talk: I own way too many hats. This one has a fun pattern that makes it great to keep the sun out of your eyes when you're outdoors this summer. Buy it for $9.80 from Forever 21Button Down Shirt
A white button down shirt sounds cool (both literally and figuratively) for the summer months. Plus, I'm a sucker for anything with stripes on it. Buy it for $39.95 from American EagleGraphic T-Shirt
I actually am not that big of a cat person, but I dig the vintage look of these kitties. I think the patterned top would look cool paired with some jeans. Also, I remain fond of a pocket on shirts which is handy for keeping change to buy snacks. Buy it for $24 from Urban OutfittersWatch
Yes, you can check the time on your phone, but I still enjoy a nice watch. This one seems a little more durable for everyday wear during the summer months, without having to shell out big bucks. Buy it for $24.95 from American EagleSporty Jacket
I wanted a varsity letterman jacket so badly in high school. One might say I was obssessed. Anyway, I dig the sporty, throwback vibe of this jacket which would be perfect for heading out for some physical activity this summer. Buy it for $32.80 from Forever 21Do you wear things that are considered “guys” clothes? Do you ever shop in the men’s department at stores? Would you want to wear any of these items?
