No offense to Dsquared2's Dean and Dan Caten, but we've been taking our style cues from another set of Canadian twins lately: Indie darlings-turned-pop tour de force Tegan and Sara, identical twin sisters from Calgary. And while raiding the closets of our female counterparts isn't our usual m.o., just look at their clothes! Exhibit A: Their music video for "Boyfriend," which shows off some drool-worthy vintage tees paired with bomber and leather jackets.

We caught up with the sisters ahead of the release of their eighth studio album, June's Love You to Death, to talk about the impetus for their style, their music, and the many levels of crossover between men and lesbians.

It's a big moment right now for women's looks influencing how men dress—there's Phoebe Philo, Kristen Stewart, Eunice Lee, you guys. You always seem to have the coolest shoes, the coolest hair, the coolest clothes.

Sara: It's funny that you say women influencing men, because Tegan and I have always taken a lot of our cues from menswear.

Tegan: We say it in our style sheets: "You should be bringing us more structured clothing. We like male fashion."

"There's this joke in the lesbian community about how everyone wants Justin Bieber's haircut. But actually, Justin Bieber always has the haircut lesbians have been sporting for a year."

Sara: We're always much more interested in dressing like boys—whatever that means in 2016. But I've always been much more interested in what's going on in men's fashion and what's happening on the men's runways, looking for ways to be androgynous and sort of play with the ideas of gender. When I see men playing with more feminine silhouettes or more feminine ideas—even just the layering and the longer shirts and the longer jackets, things that almost start to look like skirts or dresses—it's weird, because I'm like, "Maybe I want to do that! Oh, is Kanye gonna wear a skirt? I can wear a skirt!"

The look in the "Boyfriend" video runs parallel to a lot of the current trends in menswear.

Tegan: Before we shot the "Boyfriend" video we had a huge production meeting about clothes.

Sara: We were talking about sort of flipping the silhouettes from the last album cycle, which [our stylist] Turner referred to as "Tank Girl"—really tight pants, big clunky boots with oversize shirts, or a button-up with a leather jacket. We talked about purposely trying to reverse that. Having a longer jacket or a thin, more streamlined shoe on the bottom.

Tegan: Matching blazers or more fitted, structured jackets with ripped-up T-shirts.

Sara: Instead of it being tight pants, it's more of a slim cut. No matter if it's dress pants or a suit pant or whatever it is, not just having skin-tight jeans.

Tegan: Sometimes you can get caught in your own little style bubble. I kept being like, "You guys are sure the tapered pants with the Chelsea boot is not weird?" Because I live in skinny jeans.
