Clothes and accessories to borrow from your boyfriend’s closet

We’ve all been in this situation at one time or another: you've either slept over at your boyfriend's house or spent too much time during the day there and now you need a fresh change of clothes. Do you travel all the way back to your house simply to get another shirt or hoodie? Definitely not!

One of the many benefits of having a boyfriend – besides the nighttime cuddles, constant companionship and dinner dates – is that it’s pretty much an unwritten law that you’re allowed to borrow any of his clothes and other accessories for unspecified amounts of time. So, with that in mind, what clothes and accessories would you borrow from your boyfriend’s closet?

His Plaid Shirt

There are few things more comforting than an oversized plaid shirt. Besides being overwhelmingly comfortable, there’s something wistful about wearing a piece of clothing with a texture and scent that reminds you of your significant other. Another benefit is the fact that it looks good! Depending on the color, you can easily wear his shirt with a pair of leggings or tights as an impromptu dress of sorts.

His Watch

This one’s a little hit or miss since it depends on what style of watch your boyfriend owns (some watches are just a bit too chunky to work with some outfits), but borrowing your boyfriend’s watch is definitely one way to add some variety to your look, especially if you’re tired of the same old accessories. If he’s not the type of guy who wears watches often, then this might also be a good opportunity to spy out a decent birthday present! If this is the case then opt for a brand that has a wide variety of styles, like Omega, Rolex, or Tag Hauer. You can even find some more affordable Omega watches if you look around on this site.

His Sweatshirt

If you’re looking for something that will be warm and look good then definitely see if you can borrow his sweatshirt. The great thing about these garments is that they’re super versatile – all of them have unique designs and can be matched with a variety of different outfits. It’s perfect with a skirt, a pair of jeans or even leggings if the sweatshirt is long enough.

His Denim Jacket

Another item that can be paired with almost any outfit – denim jackets are a classic staple of fashion that never go out of style. It’s the ideal piece to drape over your shoulders or wear with a summer dress.
