I once read an article in Cosmopolitan that guys find it sexy when a girl wears a scent that is similar to theirs. In other words, when a girl coats the back of her neck and wrists with men's cologne. I'm not sure if I'd borrow that from a boyfriend, since I'm not trying to smell like Abercrombie's Fierce, but I wouldn't mind stealing some items from his closet...

This year us girls have managed to keep looking feminine despite the fact that we've dug somewhere besides our own closets. We thought outside the box and took inspiration from our fellow guys. Designers got in on the action too taking it a step further with items like harem pants and leather jackets that are bad to the bone and borrowed from the boys.

BOYFRIEND BLAZER

Who said a blazer was meant for suits? The boyfriend blazer is a casual twist on a professional key piece in anyone's wardrobe. What makes the boyfriend blazer so appealing is its laid back fit and its contrasting dressy look that classes up an otherwise boring ensemble.

BOYFRIEND-FIT DENIM

Alright, tight jeans do emphasize our assets and are bought for the sole reason of making out legs look long and lean. But, sometimes the tightest things aren't the most comfortable. Although jeans are our daily bottom of choice, we can't help but wish our legs had some breathing room. Boyfriend fit jeans give us that loose fit we secretly crave, yet look somewhat neater and fashionable than gym sweats.

LEATHER JACKETS AND BIKER BOOTS

James Dean, the Fonz, John Travolta, and now you rock the classic leather jacket. It has a sharp shape, tailored trim, and bad vibe. Combine it with a romantic dress and offset typical girly style. Guys on motorcycles, look out because we rock it better than you ever could.  As for the boots, mid calf to over the knee is the height we aim for. No heels takes things down a notch and eliminates all signs of femininity from the shoe. Buckles and studs only make this look hard and merciless. Own the road, ladies.

HAREM PANTS

MC Hammer gets the credit for this one. Although his single tells us we "Can't Touch This," we couldn't help but ignore his words and get our hands, or should I say legs, on this distinctive pant. Almost like a trouser, we are given some chic, simple tailoring, but the silhouette is certainly unique. Guys can get away with wearing loose fitting pants, so why can't we? Harem pants were the answer in 2009. Combined with a cropped blazer, a tucked in blouse, and statement belt, you've got yourself a perfect harem-pant-centered look. Don't worry boys; maybe designers will create more options for you as well in 2010...

It's really amazing to know that boys like if a girl use a perfume that is similar to theirs. These pictures are nice in the sense that dresses which the models are wearing are looking very good and attractive. Thanks, keep on updating with such information.
