Victoria Beckham in the Boyfriend Jean

One way to expand your wardrobe this season, sans credit card debt or working over time in cubicle farm, is to raid your boyfriend’s closet. A lot of the must have pieces, and some of the hottest looks of the summer, may be conveniently located in your beaus drawer’s (no pun intended). Jackets, jeans, shades, and watches are all killer perks that come with your package.

If you are going to try on this trend, be careful not to overdo the slouchy style. If you want to rock one his blazers, or a similar one you scored on your own, pair it with your favorite skinny jeans and a fitted tank. This Open Boyfriend Blazer from Urban Outfitters works well with shorts, or fitted jeans, and is totally sexy.

Since you love your man’s jeans, but they probably won’t fit you, Victoria Beckham has your back. Her Boyfriend Jean in Indigo is the perfect combination of casual and cool, and since they are intended to be worn loosely, they are super comfortable too. Joes Jeans came out with a pair of their own, perfectly dubbed The Ex Lover, that will make it easier for you to give back his jeans in the split. Wear them cuffed with a sandal or flat, or even paired with a heel for your date night out.

While on your search for style steals, by all means, don’t just stop at his closet. Scope out your man’s dresser top, nightstand, and drawers for accessories to top off your look. A lot of this seasons sunglasses are versatile for both men and woman, so it’s likely your man has a pair you can share. The classic Wayfarer by Ray Ban are a staple in several dudes' stash, and aviators are still running strong for both sexes. Does your man have a watch that you constantly eye? Now is the time to snag it, since big bold accessories are totally in. This gold chunky watch by Casio is totally hip, and if you’re single, you can still rock this funky female watch by Nixon that shares the same look.

To really pull off the boyfriend look, you want to appear as if you just rolled out of bed and borrowed his clothes. He’ll appreciate your new carefree, laidback look… and you’ll appreciate him even more for your scores.
