Boyfriend Fashion

Steal your boyfriend's heart, not his clothing.

Sure, its fun taking clothes from someone else's closet, but don't you value the "fit" of a garment?  Let's be honest, baggy is comfortable, but it may not always be the best fit or flattering.  If you want a similar style to your boyfriend or husband you can simply go to a "women's" fashion store and hunt for their selection of "boyfriend fashion".

The fashion industry understands that some women want to wear clothing with a hint of masculine style.  Many years ago, it was determined by fashion designers that it would be a good idea to offer women what they want. Therefore, you can hit the boutiques for your masculine fashion fix rather than raid your boyfriends closet.  I am fairly certain, you would enjoy the fit better.

Boyfriend fashion is any style of women's clothing that was modified from a corresponding men's garment. Examples include boyfriend jackets, boyfriend jeans, and boyfriend blazers, which are often more unisex or looser in appearance and fit than most women's jackets or trousers, though still designed for the female form.

It is hard to determine the origin of boyfriend fashion.  Some people say the trend started after 2000, but their are clear signs of girls wearing their boyfriends clothing in the 1980's.  My guess is that it started long before that time.  However, when did women's clothing stores start selling apparel that looked like men's fashion?

The boyfriend jeans trend, which are baggy, typically destroyed, low-rise jeans look so comfy and effortless.  However, the style is not for everyone.  The nature of wearing baggy jeans can potentially be less flattering.  On the other hand, they are good at covering up, if you ate too much during the holidays...

To kick off the summer season, STS Blue will be having a “May madness” giveaway, where we will be giving away a pair of shorts every day, all month long.

The Ava Pali Fray short is star studded, literally. STS Blue teamed up with actress, photographer and designer, Ava Lane, who stars in the web series aptly named “Summer Break,” to curate a limited edition design collaboration. The Ava Pali is the newest body out there this spring, the curved hem elongates the leg and ups the cool factor.

Women’s Fashion in 2025: A Year in Review of the Trends That Defined the Style Landscape

If 2024 was about recovery and recalibration in fashion, 2025 was the year women’s style fully re-claimed its confidence—with bold silhouettes, thoughtful tailoring, nostalgic influences, and a strong undercurrent of “wearability” that didn’t sacrifice creativity. The biggest story of the year wasn’t just one trend dominating the runway or social media feeds. Instead, 2025 became a patchwork of fashion identities, with women embracing multiple aesthetics at once: soft minimalism, maximalist accessories, retro throwbacks, and hyper-modern cuts all coexisting in a way that felt surprisingly natural.

From the resurgence of refined femininity to the continued evolution of quiet luxury, 2025 was a year where fashion didn’t just ask women to look stylish—it invited them to express power, softness, individuality, and practicality all at the same time.

Let’s dive into the biggest women’s fashion trends that shaped 2025, season by season, aesthetic by aesthetic, and category by category.

Ultimate L.A. Makeover and Fashion Tips from Catt Sadler

Star-studded red carpet events will abound this spring meaning colorful and cutting-edge fashion trends will be front and center!  As always, the Apparel Search blog will help guide you through much of the exciting happenings of the season.

Apparel Search is not the only resource to help you stay connected.  Catt Sadler provides an abundance of trendy tips.

Connecting her love of fashion, celebrities and a healthy lifestyle, Catt is supporting the ProgressOh! Makeover Contest that celebrates the weight management journeys and will award three finalists with an ultimate makeover experience in Los Angeles.  To help fans experience those “Oh!” moments—those times when you feel confident, empowered and happy—Catt is dishing fashion tips for women who have recently achieved weight-management goals.  

Here are just a few of the many tips that she provides:

Tips for avoiding diet boredom:

Focusing on healthier alternatives is an easy way to get inspired and try new, adventurous meals!  If there is a new recipe you’ve been dying to make, go for it! Just make sure you look for opportunities to substitute healthy, lighter ingredients where necessary.

Sometimes the best way to avoid diet boredom is to make small changes. I enjoy checking out my favorite cooking blogs and websites for variations on dishes. For example, I love pasta so I went to www.Progresso.com and found a great recipe for vegetarian Italian pasta using Progresso Light Italian-style vegetable soup. 

Fashion Tips for Women Who Have Recently Achieved Weight-Management Goals:

This is NOT a time to blend in! To show off your new and improved body, choose bright colors and bold prints that help you get noticed and express the strong, increasingly confident person you've become! You can mix and match prints (which is still a fashion trend this year) and play with lots of textures, too. Those days of trying to blend in are O-V-E-R!

Often when we're unhappy with our bodies we tend to hide in our boyfriend jeans or oversized sweaters and jackets; it's time to tuck these away. Now that you're feeling fantastic, select more fitted silhouettes that reveal just how hard you've been working! It may be difficult to get out of the habit of "covering up," but embrace your slimmed down curves and don't hesitate to show off the goods with streamlined clothes and even sexier cuts that accentuate your body. 

Between now and Feb. 28, soup lovers can enter the ProgressOh! Makeover Contest at Progresso.com/ProgressOh.  Mar. 10 through April 10, 2014 consumers will vote among six finalists and the three winners will be announced on or around April 15, 2014.
