I want to rock a full length skirt with a men's business shirt I prefer to wear men's clothes to women's.This is mostly because men's clothes are often cheaper and cut in a way that i feel more comfortable.For instance, the sleeves on men's shirts tend to be elbow length instead of ending above that as women's clothing often do.I also find that if i buy men's clothes and throw them in the dryer, they shrink to my perfect size. Ralph Lauren Down Jackets (I am so tired of hanging my clothes up to prevent shrinkage)I prefer my clothes to be a bit baggy instead of tight fitting. The problem is i don't want to send the wrong message.I know it's much easier for a woman to wear men's clothes then the other way around, but i still don't want my co workers thinking negative things about my clothing style. I work in higher education academia, so the only dress code is a loose"Business casual".Could i buy a couple of these, or would it scream that i'm wearing men's clothing? How about henley shirts?And what exactly is a pique polo? I'm not really looking for advice on pants. (I am a heterosexual female with quite a few homosexual family members and friends.I'm not worried about"Looking gay"I'm worried that people are going to look at me and instantly go: "Omg, she's wearing men's clothing!What is she thinking? !

Posted by empath at 10:13 AM on September 8, 2011 Something like this maybe. Posted by empath at 10:14 AM on September 8, 2011 Men's clothing is going to look like men's clothing because it's men's clothing.Particularly with shirts, because they aren't cut to the female frame have you looked into women's clothes from more traditional stores like talbots or lands end?You might find clothes for women that fit the specifications you lay out above. Posted by thepinksuperhero at 10:16 ralph lauren mens polo shirts AM on September 8, 2011 [2 favorites] You know how there are basically three types of polo shirts, material wise?The smooth kind(Jersey), the rare and fuzzy kind(Terry), and the regular lightly textured kind?The regular kind is piqu. Posted by jeb at 10:19 AM on September 8, 2011 If you wear unfitted men's shirts, then, yes, everyone will be saying or thinking that you are wearing men's clothes for no good reason.If you get fitted or, at the very least, a slim fit in a larger size you could pull it off.You might need to get the shirts tailored(Probably at the waist and shoulders)For a few more dollars, but if they are of a good fit and good quality(Read:Expensive), it will be worth it. Also, if you're going this route, don't buy shirts online.At the very least, go try on the shirt you want at a store and then buy it online(Nb:This is considered a dick move by many people, ymmv. ) Posted by griphus at 10:19 AM on September 8, 2011 If you wear ralph lauren accessories sale unfitted men's shirts, then, yes, everyone will be saying or thinking that you are wearing men's clothes for no good reason.

Posted by griphus at 10:22 AM on September 8, 2011 Yeah there is absolutely nothing wrong with women wearing men's clothes, imo, as long ralph lauren sale uk as a)They fit and b)You do it with confidence. Posted by empath at 10:23 AM on September 8, 2011 [1 favorite] Ditto tps.Mostly, men's clothing worn by a woman will always look like men's clothing worn by a woman, even if it"Fits".Stuff like the way the armscye is cut, the side the buttons are on, broad dropped shoulders, etc.Which isn't necessarily a problem, but it sounds like you don't want that.I think inexpensive women's clothing with classic, less fitted lines(Land's end, etc)That you can wash/dry/wear would fit the bill for your particular needs better.

I don't disagree at all, but it can look good and obvious and unless i'm misunderstanding, the op seems to want to avoid the latter.
