It’s a known fact that some women tend not to dress for men—but do love to dress like them from time to time. And on a number of occasions, we have found ourselves perusing the men's department on the hunt for that perfectly oversized oxford shirt. O
r, sometimes, just stealthily swiping one from our significant other’s closet. So it's no surprise that the oversized shirt has earned a star role in our wardrobe rotation.

Take notes from Scandinavian minimalism and look to match your big shirt with slim-cut jeans and loafers (we recommend ones of the backless variety). Or for the perfect balance of carefree femininity, pair it with something overtly girly like lace or ruffles. To make a full-on statement, 
opt for a striped number with the top few buttons left undone so it hangs loosely off your shoulders, channeling those trendy off-the-shoulder shirts (you know the ones). The rule of thumb here is to keep the rest of your outfit streamlined to avoid looking like you're drowning in your clothes.  

The best part? A few oversized shirts hanging in your closet will take you from spring to summer flawlessly. C
asually throw a crisp white button-down over your new one-piece suit and you're instantly ready for that poolside barbecue over Memorial Day weekend. Just add a slick pair of shades.

And in case your boyfriend keeps a close eye on his closet, w
