Unisex fashion has been in trends for much longer than we might have thought. Its beginnings were controversial, and over time, they became boring and predictable. However, today unisex, genderless clothes are a way to create a unique styling. So what is worth borrowing from the men's wardrobe to look super stylish? Content: Once, unisex clothing was associated with wide dresses and blouses that reached the knees. Naturally, women much more often borrow clothes from their partners' wardrobes, although contemporary fashion does not completely exclude the opposite. Genderless fashion is becoming more and more relevant, practical, and interesting in its design.

Men's collections are shown together with women's ones, and the clothes presented on the catwalk often lack gender distinction. However, unisex also means borrowing typically male clothes and styling them in your own way. It is from these elements of the wardrobe that the best sets and outfits often come.
Unisex Clothing—from Coco Chanel to Calvin Klein
So what is worth borrowing from his wardrobe? Coco Chanel discovered that borrowing classic elements of men's wardrobe and styling them in a feminine way can bring a very intriguing effect. The designer based her innovative style on trousers, which she often borrowed from her partners' wardrobes. She tightened them with an elegant belt and added a string of pearls. The whole looked revolutionary in Paris, quite controversial for the first decades of the 20th century. However, to this day, the way Coco Chanel wore men's trousers remained current. Not only Parisians, but also women around the world follow her example. Unisex clothing is not only dresses but also very elegant trousers, which can be easily incorporated into your own wardrobe.
The boyfriend jeans model was first borrowed straight from the men's wardrobe, but then it smoothly transitioned into women's fashion. Wide, distorting the silhouette, quite hard to style, these trousers have become a favorite part of many fashion lovers' outfits. Why? Boyfriend jeans are spunky, have a distinctive character, and create a great contrast duo with high heels. Sexy, comfortable, and stylish, what more could you want?

Unisex fashion, i.e., add a pinch of nonchalance
Unisex fashion also looks great in other parts of the wardrobe. Men's shirts worn with women's trousers or as a dress, belted, are already classics. Here you don't need many fashion tricks, just a good quality belt, effective jewelry, and a white shirt from your partner's wardrobe. Rolled-up sleeves and an unbuttoned collar will add nonchalance to this outfit. After all, there's a reason why the most popular fashionistas dress like this.
In recent years, what gained the fame of unisex fashion? Clothes that conquer fashion catwalks and city streets are, of course, oversized men's jackets, which went straight from men's wardrobes into women's stylings. There are no rules here—the bigger the jacket, the bigger the "wow" effect, so in this case, you can borrow clothes indefinitely. A men's jacket goes well with both tight women's trousers and looser ones, also taken from a men's wardrobe.
Pair this with high heels or loafers, also in a unisex style. You can also go for the soft version, i.e., a women's suit inspired by men's fashion, but of a much more tailored cut. Yves Saint Laurent started doing this in the '70s, and since then, no one has dressed women in a more stylish, elegant, and overwhelming way.
