If you haven’t already tried shopping in the men’s section, it’s time to start now. Here’s one GOOD reason to: you could actually be able to save a couple of dollars. According to The Business of Fashion, one of the factors why clothing in the women’s section can be marked up is because women shop more and are willing to pay more for fashion than men.
Apart from the price point benefit, another perk is that you get the “cool factor” from borrowing from the boys. Fashion is having an androgynous moment that’s really easy to create using men’s apparel. Here, we’ve listed all the pieces you should seriously consider getting the next time you go shopping (in the men’s department).
We’re all about slouchy button-down shirts paired with denim jeans or shorts for the ultimate casual chic get-up. Bonus? The men’s ones don’t come with those bothersome seams — usually found in women’s clothing — that make it look more fitted.

This one from Zara comes with a polished polo-collar.
Looking for the perfect comfy, oversized sweater? Get them at the men’s section. Sweaters are one of the rare items that you might find a wider selection in the men’s section rather than the women’s.

This patched sweater comes in a baby blue shade and would look great tucked into high-waisted bottoms.
Boyfriend jeans aren’t anything new in the women’s fashion scene. But why get the imitation when you can buy the real deal?

This pair features quirky patch details all over. Dress it up with a pair of strappy heels, or down with sneakers.
The fall runway was flooded with oversized blazers. So why not get one at a portion of the price at the men’s section?

There’s something so sophisticated and put-together about a woman wearing a chunky and large timepiece on her wrist — and the men’s version is the perfect way to get that look.
