Runway: Boyfriend blazers and cardigans, ties, baggy jeans and other menswear looks crossover to the women's area.

Reality: The boyfriend look is at its best with crisply tailored classics with a feminine twist, like shown here at Ralph Lauren with a bomber jacket in gold metallic. The key to pulling off this look without appearing too androgynous is to balance menswear pieces with something feminine: a tuxedo jacket over an evening gown, slouchy rolled up men's jeans with a soft shirt.
