    Borrowed-From-The-Boys: 5 Menswear-Inspired Pieces For Your Next Power Lunch

    written and edited by sarah morrison

    This season, take a page out of your nearest GQ magazine and turn to a chic, borrowed-from-the-boys look to close your next deal. Clean and effortlessly sophisticated, this tried-and-true trend lends just the right dose of structure to achieve that elusive, feminine meets masculine aesthetic. Reach for these 5 essentials and you’ll not only become the envy of all, but you’ll nail the pitch too.

    1. The White Button-Down

    A foolproof option for 9-to-5 and beyond, a crisp, white button down has the power to transform any outfit. This version by Misha Nonoo takes a cue from menswear with its longer hem and cuffs, which can be worn tucked under a black blazer for a prim and proper look, or styled simply on its own. Throw a lace camisole underneath for a feminine finish.

    2. The Tailored Trousers

    Put your best foot forward with a classic tailored pant, made feminine with a slim fit and a slightly cropped, flared cut at the ankles. Juxtapose the piece with an oversized dinner jacket to achieve the perfectly balanced, borrowed-from-the-boys look.
