Back To School Look: Boyish Chic


The boyish chic look is all about using menswear and adding a girlish touch. Below is a look that I think will look great for school.

A Striped Boyfriend Shirt like this one from forever21 for $11.50 or this one from Hollister which comes in several colors but for $49.50.

Menswear inspired shorts (just check the length if your school has a strict dress code) like these or even these which come with suspenders. Both are from Forever21 and cost 17.80.

There are also tons of menswear shoes on forever21 right now but personally these for $24.80 are my favorite. A cute feminine touch would to buy some ribbon color of your choice and use them for lacing up your shoes with instead of just plain laces.

This Rhinestone Glasses Necklace from Forever21 comes in gold, silver and black and would add a cute studious flair to the outfit and it's only $1.50.

A Cute Hair Bow clip in a coordinating color like this. There are tons of hair bows for cheaper but I liked the ones from American apparel because of their size.

Also a cute pair of thigh high socks likethese also in a coordinating color.

The total cost of this look is either going to be 71.40 or 125.60 depending on which shirt you get and that's without tax. If you look really hard you might be able to get it even cheaper but this is what I found.

Here a just a few extra things that I like for a Boyish Chic look

A cute graphic tee like this one with suspenders and tucked into shorts would be darling I think.

Add a bright colored cardigan to add a touch of preppy like this.

A vest like this is another cool menswear staple that you could girly up.

These Lace overall shorts from amiclubwear come in cream and white and would be a super girly way to do the boyish chic look with.

ThisChain Mail Tie Necklace would be super cute done the right way!

A watch like this would definitely add a boyish touch to an overly girly outfit.

A fedora like this is always good for adding boyish charm.

If you want to go the extra mile adding a pair of readers like this is a good way to go.

Then there are suspenders, I tried to find cute girly ruffle suspenders but couldn't find any so there are these ones from wet seal. Be careful to not look to costumey.
