monoxious_guide_to_wearing_shirt_as_skirt
Today, we’re offering an alternative to wearing your boyfriend shirt. You heard me right, we all know our wardrobe extends far beyond our own cause there’s always nothing to wearrrrr and we all know that boyfriend jeans/blazer/shirts and all the rage this season. It’s time to raid the boyfriend’s wardrobe for this DIY clothes tutorial.

We start of with a simple men’s shirt.

This one’s from Primark [omg cheapppppp!!!] and dare I say I bought a couple to rip up and deconstruct. A little wrinkly I know, it was fresh off from the packaging so yeahhh… let’s proceed.

Excuse the srs face. It’s about 1am when I took this picture. I’m not naked you pervs~!!

We start off with buttoning the shirt at your waist. Obviously it’s not going to start at the collar, I managed to button mine about 2 buttons down, it should probably be the same for you.

After that, we try and form a drape in the skirt so it doesn’t look that boring. Here we will be buttoning the alternate buttonholes to the buttons.

Follow the diagram drawing above and you should be able to get a the first drape going. We’ll now move on to the second drape.

And this is what you should end up with after the buttonholes are in place. So total, just 3 buttons.
Tip: if you have a longer shirt, the drape will be more obvious and thus more interesting when worn.

After that we tie the sleeves together. It also serves as securing the waist so if the buttons accidentally pop, you won’t be baring your booty to the world.

And there we have it~!!!

    Really great guide, and the result looks quite trendy and fashionable too. It would be an interesting theme to see what kind of cloths could be worn differently to complete another role.

    Julie: Thank you!! We love clothes that can be worn in different ways, we figured normal everyday clothes shld be able to produce the same results too.

    Love this! Love even more that it is no sew – great for those unexpected sleepovers where you have no clothes (but I wouldn’t know anything about those days since I’m married :)

    This is so genius! I’ve been trying to figure out chic ways that I can wear my boyfriend’s button downs, and this is by far the best!! I also like rolling up the sleeves and layering it over a more feminine dress and sometimes belting it with a vintage belt! Thanks for the awesome ideas!!

    I do this with my big flannel shirts and wear it as a strapless dress :D Just button it, step into it (I do it with the buttons in the back) and tie the sleeves behind your back
