Will You Borrow From the Boys? (Style.com)
December 2, 2009

Sorry guys, but it looks like your girlfriends will be stealing your clothes again this season.  Spring 2010 will prove to have more and more girls wearing over sized menswear.  Over sized is a trend that has been in the making since Fall 2006 when leggings and skinny jeans needed made a comeback and desired something loose to contrast with a tighter leg wear.  The trend has evolved from 80's remake to baggy chic.  Similar to Fall of 2009, boyfriend style button downs will be the thing to wear except with a minor twist.  Instead of wearing a cozy plaid, warm weather will have girls stealing lighter colors such as stark white and pastel colored button downs of the like.  Always opt for large sizes too, because the baggier, the better.
