The fashion industry is constantly changing with new trendy ideas being brought out into the light. The styles can slowly be linked back towards the 80s as we begin to bring back the fashion trends of high waist jeans,velvet dresses, and the use of a lot of hairspray. The issue is: what about the romantic fashion trends?

Not all women, or men, feel the need to find someone just to follow with the romance of wearing the significant others’ shirt. That’s why it’s easier to just go out, create an imaginary boyfriend and just buy the shirts you like!

Normally, I’m on the same page but it’s also okay to use it as a scapegoat to avoid having to choose what to wear. Every one or two days, I tend to wear a men’s shirt styled together with high waist jeans and shoes based on the activity. It gives me the freedom to feel comfy but still retain that casual look; also, not hurt my wallet as much as women’s clothes do.

A trick that I do is tucking in my shirt then taking out a little bit of it to for a slightly baggy and casual appearance. Light colors, or light stripped patterns, tend to be a little easier to fashion since sometimes, Dark colors tend to actually be a little awkward to style. With Men’s shirts, you can mix and match the pants and colors to give a different comfortable style.

Also, having one or two bra free days; who is going to notice, right?

Having a nice styling combination tends to be a strong point in the decision making which is honestly not bad. Some women prefer to style their outfits with booties, heels, combat boots and vans. However, I tend to wear sneakers when I’m wearing a casual light, or stripped, V-neck men’s shirt since this brings on the sporty and casual vibe. Also having a pair on Toms on hand, preferably white, also can combo perfectly with the light and casual theme. My personal preference are my black flats, due to my lack of ‘grace‘ with heels.

Another reason is: You don’t have to hurt your wallet for men’s clothing (Unless you’re buying from an expensive store). I normally enjoy shopping at stores like Target, Walmart, T.j.Maxx, Marshalls (just bought 3 shirts for $7.99 the other day) and the Express Outlet store. I give myself a budget and outfit ideas prior before I go all in.

Now, if you really want to take a step forward then the tricky part is finding certain jewelry accessories to really pull off the “I’m taken” style. Most people would first target the ring department: promise rings, engagement rings, purity rings and wedding rings (I wish I was joking about that one). A few places to find rings, so you’re not hurting your wallet too much, would be Claire’s, Icing and Wanelo. A two ring stackable can also trick the people into thinking that you’re not on the market; trust me, I have done it before. It’s honestly not about having to spend a fortune on a ring, let your future fiancée decide that one, it’s being able to find a ring that matches your style.

Sweet and simple or Overly dramatic and detailed; it’s your story and stylistic choice.

I think, besides the jewelry, shirts, pants and shoes, you also need to make some picky decisions on your purse and hairstyle. You can target having short, wild, frizzy hair for a comfortable, happy ‘I came from the beach’ vibe. Or, bring your hair up in a classy but slightly messy bun for that content, workaholic look. For some women, they also enjoy either having a long side bag in tan or black, preferably matching their shoes, or having a simple hand bag.

I only have about 2-3 bags and 2 pairs of shoes that combo together with my outfits therefore, I tend to have a small routine placed for the days that I would like to wear my outfits. I started wearing this style more often, since I enjoy wearing baggy shirts to sleep, you can sleep in these shirts as pajamas, and began experimenting a bit with my jeans, shorts, belts and bags then bam! I have created a style that I feel comfortable and confident in, doesn’t really hurt my wallet at all and let’s me be creative in my own way. Having an imaginary boyfriend that enjoys light colors, a few stripes in his wardrobe, watches anime and enjoys have a bit of class in his imaginary life.
