For whatever reason, guys clothing always seems more comfortable and warmer. Pre-worn, sometimes still smelling like a person close to you, there’s nothing like it! Here are my personal favorite pieces I’ve stolen from the guys in my life — and recommend you do the same as it gets colder!
Flannels
(stolen from: a guy friend)
Tied around your waist for going out, or thrown over a tank top with a pair of leggings, guys flannels are always softer and have a more relaxed look than girls flannels. Â
Sweat pants
(stolen from: my dad)
I’m pretty tall (6 feet to be exact…!) so guys’ sweats hold a special place in my heart because they actually fit me! Besides that, they’re almost always thicker and hang in that perfect I-couldn’t-care-less-because-I-am-warm-and-comfortable way.
Extra large t-shirts
(stolen from: my brothers, or bought)
I actually don’t tend to steal these: I just buy men’s t-shirts. For fall and winter, they’re perfect to throw on with jeans or leggings for class, or booty shorts for home.
Long-sleeve t-shirts
(stolen from: my dad, and guy friends)
Like the extra large t-shirt, these are extra cozy on cold days — especially the ones that include staying home and Netflix-ing.
Sweatshirt
(stolen from: my brothers)
Plain and simple: nothing beats the comfort of a too-big sweatshirt!
Varsity jackets
(stolen from: my dad)
I have stolen many a piece of vintage frat clothing from my dad, but my favorite by far is his varsity-style fraternity jacket (lovingly nicknamed the Fracket). Bomber-style jackets are universally flattering and work with any outfit — from relaxing a skirt and heels, to making leggings and tennis shoes look more complete.
Bonus: 80s jean jacket
(stolen from… my mom!)
Ladies, raid your mother’s closet! Odds are, you’ll find pieces they have stolen from guys through the years. The perfect balance of pre-worn comfort and vintage style!
Embrace being a clothing thief this season, beauties!
