To create a sophisticated menswear-inspired look it's important to concentrate on the details.Pieces with tailored tuxedo and suiting elements are perfect for a day at the office, while accessories like a large men's-style watch, leather loafers, even squared-off, thick-rimmed glasses may be all you need to pull off the look. Collared dress shirts, sweater vests and tapered slim-fit pants are key items; just be sure to pay attention to fit so you avoid looking slouchy, sloppy and boyish in a bad way.
Resist the urge to raid your boyfriend's closet and find pieces that fit with just the right amount of bagginess.
