Skinny jeans weren't right for most of us, but now there's a trend that's giving us a little hope: the boyfriend shirt.

Boyfriend jeans, made famous by Hollywood mom Katie Holmes, were kind of cute -- if you were painting the house or doing errands. The boyfriend shirt, however, is the latest take on wearing your husband's button-down, but tailored to fit a woman. The good thing is that it's still supposed to be roomy and comfy, not tight! So rather than hiding those extra 10 lbs. under your husband's shirt, this will be a little more flattering.

Wear one over a swimsuit, with leggings, or with jeans for a timeless, classic, and not too faddish look. Add pearls and you're good for the office!
