The fall 2017 trend to wear now: Men's shirting with a twist
Oversized, striped, and boxy in the best way. Button up!
The trend towards men's inspired clothing has been growing for the past few seasons, thanks to labels like Monse and Vetement reimagining staples, like the striped dress shirt, into fantastical frocks and tops with frills, exaggerated sleeves and more. So it was no surprise when strict button-ups with a twist were seen in most of this season's fast fashion lookbooks, each brand putting their own spin on the classic.
To get ahead of the season, grab one of the following options to update your closet and emulate the likes of Hollywood darlings Meghan Markle, Emma Watson and Taraji P. Henson, who have all graced the red carpet wearing the trend.
White collar
With a wide-open neckline sitting on top of proper dress shirt proportions, this version of the men's inspired shirt is definitely more glamourous than its predecessor. Just add statement, dangly earrings for a runway-esque take, whether for office or a dinner date.
