What to buy for a girl in the men's department

Why you should pay attention to the men's department

As soon as oversize and slight negligence began to come into fashion in the 2010s, glamorous magazines began vying to advise you to look into the closet of your boyfriend or husband. But boyfriends come in all sizes and their clothes don't always fit. So it's easier to go straight to the store and buy what you need. There are several reasons for this.

Men's clothing is longer

Men are taller on average. Therefore, the length of the sleeves, legs and the product itself will be longer even with the same volumes. This is an important advantage for tall girls. A foray into the men's department is often the only way to get, for example, a sweatshirt that will normally cover the belly.

Men's clothing has functional pockets

If you put a smartphone even of the "plus" format in the pocket of men's pants, it will fall almost to the knee and will not go anywhere from there. Women's pockets are shallow and small, the phone simply will not fit into them, like anything else. And sometimes you want to free your hands and not take your bag with you.

There are interesting colors and prints in the men's section

Until recently, there was a dominance of black and gray, and red and blue were not considered brutal enough. Fortunately, the guys decided that it was enough to endure it, and color appeared in their departments too. Moreover, these are often very interesting options. For example, if pink is bright and uncompromising in the female part of the store, then in the male part there is a chance to stumble upon an unusual shade. It's the same with prints: they are simply beautiful or ironic and beautiful right away. So if you are looking for a T-shirt all over the sales floor at once, the chances of leaving with the purchase increase.

Basic men's clothes are truly basic

Let's try to find basic white t-shirt in the women's department. It will not be so simple: either the material is too thin and does not hold its shape, then the sleeves are narrowed, then it was made fitted, then the neckline was modified, or some kind of ruffles were sewn on. In the men's department, the chance to see the basic item is higher.

Menswear is cheaper

Of course, the cost will vary from product to product. But on average, the pricing is different. Blame for everythingPink Tax: Why Do Women Pay More? "Tax on pink". Clothes for women are more expensive. Moreover, the differences begin with products for babies.

The choice is wider

Previously, you were limited to one department, but now you can search for cool items throughout the store.

What can you buy

Backpacks

The main advantage of men's backpacks is their size. In such, everything will fit. Laconic design without unnecessary embellishments, wide comfortable shoulder straps and durability are additional bonuses.

T-shirts and T-shirts

We have already talked about the advantages of classic T-shirts from the men's department. They are dense, keep their shape perfectly and are generally good for everyone. True, without trying them on, you should buy them with caution, especially if you have outstanding breasts: you can miss the size.

An additional joy - alcoholic T-shirts. It is in the men's section that you can find large-sized options with huge armholes and wear them over a sports top in the gym and anywhere else - it all depends on your style. Pay attention to elongated T-shirts, which can become dresses in a woman's wardrobe.

Shirts

Now that it's in vogue oversized, loose shirts are also found in the women's section. But more recently, there were completely fitted flirty blouses on the hangers. And in the men's department, both then and now, there are shirts for every taste - conservative and with crazy prints. Due to their shape and length, they can be tied in a knot at the waist, and wide sleeves can be casually rolled up.

Questions can only be to the fastener on the other side. But, as practice shows, no one will poke a finger at you and shame you for buttons on the wrong shelf.

What to buy

• Shirt with a print from Jack & Jones Originals, 2 190 rubles → 
• Brown shirt with a turndown collar from ASOS DESIGN, 990 rubles → 
• White shirt from Pull & Bear, 1 199 rubles → 

Hoodies, sweatshirts, sweaters, turtlenecks

Men's jersey is good for a looser fit, sleeves and the length of the product itself. The material is usually thicker, warmer, and more comfortable. And the turtleneck collar does not threaten with suffocation, because it is wider.

Men's clothes often look a little too big on girls. This is due to the fact that the guys have wider shoulders and the seam connecting the sleeve to the product goes down. But there is a trick that will allow you to get all the bonuses for menswear and not go oversized. The raglan sleeve is cut without a shoulder seam, so it will not be clear what shoulder width the designer was counting on.

What to buy

• Hoodie pink from Weekday, 2 590 rubles → 
• Hoodie from New Look, 1 990 rubles → 
• Hoodie MARVEL from Pull & Bear, 1,599 rubles → 

Bombers & Denim Jackets

Images are popular when deliberately feminine clothes are complemented by a jacket as if from the shoulder of a boyfriend. You don't have to force a guy freezeif you can buy yourself such a thing and wear it for your pleasure.

What to buy

• Blue jacket with a print on the back from Bershka, 3 999 rubles → 
• Pink bomber jacket from River Island, 2 690 rubles → 
• Denim jacket from Bershka, 2 799 rubles → 

Hats, caps and caps

A great option for girls with a large head size who cannot pick up anything in the women's department. Flirty wide-brimmed hats and berets will not be here. But you can find stylish caps, fedoras, panamas. Also, pay attention to the usual beanie hats. They are also larger than women, and therefore they do not press down the hair so much - there is a chance to maintain volume.

What to buy

• Burgundy beanie hat from ASOS DESIGN, 690 rubles → 
• Reversible Panama hat from ASOS DESIGN, 1,090 rubles → 
• Hat from "Red Heat", 1,090 rubles → 

Pants

This is the most controversial point, because finding the right pants in the men's department is not easy. It all depends on the characteristics of your figure and store patterns. If you easily find yourself jeans (including boyfriend models) in the women's department, do not bother. But if each trouser hike is a multi-stage quest, you can add several additional points to it. Pay attention to this.

• In men, the difference between the waist and the hips is not that great. So if you have a tight waist, high-rise jeans may bubble around your belly.
• Men's elastane jeans are very tight because they are much denser than women's jeans.
• If you are under 180 centimeters, you will probably have to cut your legs.
• You don't have to worry about the codpiece: there isn't much extra space.
• If you have wide hips, you will likely need to wear a larger pants size than you usually wear.

What to buy

• Skinny jeans in black and white stripes from ASOS DESIGN, 2,590 rubles → 
• Blue jeans of a free cut from Bershka, 2 999 rubles → 
• Blue jeans from Weekday, 3 490 rubles →
