Effortless chic perfectly describes the boyfriend-inspired trend, which is perfect for a girl like me, who often oversleeps and runs late for work everyday. I am the queen of throwing a cardigan on over anything and calling it a day. As someone who rarely wears jeans of any kind, I took the plunge a few months ago and purchased a pair of boyfriend jeans from Torrid. I admit, they did sit in my closet for 2-3 months before I actually wore them for the first time. Now they have become a staple in my summer wardrobe and will carry me into the colder months. Perfect with flats or platform heels, they are quite versatile.
This trend is all about comfort and nothing is more comfortable than an oversized men’s shirt. Last fall, I was buying up men’s plaid shirts left and right to wear over my short black dresses and skirts. This fall, I’m wearing them with graphic leggings, platform heels, and tons of accessories (inspired by Kate Lanphear).
Here are a few pieces that you can add to your wardrobe this fall to acheive this look.

Evans Boyfriend Cardigan | Alloy Boyfriend Cardigan
Old Navy Womens’ Plus Weekend Jeans | Evans Roll Up Boyfriend Jeans
Dorothy Perkins Sequin Boyfriend Blazer | Evans Grey Stripe Boyfriend Shirt
