Do it like a dude

You know how dudes do it? Cheap, classic and high quality. Yeah, I'm talking about clothes. Brofashion.

For the most part, in the same stores that try to sell a ladies jumper for £35, girlfriend can jump an escalator to the men's department and find a near identical garment -- with twice the wool content -- for half the price. The cotton used in the production of men's shirts is invariably a heavier count, and the buttons stay on for longer than a single wash. Yes, jumpers and shirts are the mainstays of my argument, but aren't they worth it?

This writer's research suggests that a high street men's XS equates to a UK/Australian size 10 (... ish). Add a skinny belt and the broad cut of the shoulders and nipped waist lend an unconcerned elegance to the whole business. After all, it's the application of men's tailoring to women's wear that has defined modern fashion. Why not go right to the source?
