✨Styling a Boyfriend Tee
From front-tuck to back-knot, here’s how to wear the tee that works overtime.
✨ Real talk, bestie...
If you’ve ever “borrowed” a guy’s t-shirt and thought, ugh, this is way cuter on me, you already know the vibe. A boyfriend cut t-shirt is like that: oversized in the right way, comfy without being sloppy, and ready to be styled a hundred different ways.
At Perfect TShirt Co., we’ve made it our mission to craft the perfect boyfriend tee—pre-shrunk, sustainable, and soft enough to make you cancel plans to stay in it.
❓ What is a boyfriend cut t-shirt and how do you style it?
A: A boyfriend cut t-shirt is a relaxed-fit, slightly oversized tee inspired by menswear but tailored for women. Style it with a front tuck, a waist knot, or layered under a blazer to balance the fit with flattering shape.
Now let’s style it up, shall we?
Q: How do you style a boyfriend tee without looking boxy?
A: It’s all about the tuck, knot, and balance. Boyfriend tees are roomy—so you want to create shape, add layers, or show off a bit of waist to keep the look intentional (not I-just-woke-up energy).
💡 5 Ways to Style a Boyfriend Cut T-Shirt
-
The Front Tuck (aka the French Tuck)
Tuck just the front of your tee into jeans or trousers for that effortlessly polished “I just threw this on” look. It adds shape without losing that slouchy cool factor.
2. The Front Rosebud
Grab the bottom hem, twist, and knot it at your waist (or slightly to the side) to turn your oversized tee into a cropped moment. Perfect with high-rise anything.
3. The Back Tuck
Knot it at the back to cinch in the waist while keeping the front clean and drapey. Ideal when you want flow but still want to highlight your shape.
4. Layered Under a Blazer or Cardigan
This is the perfect desk-to-dinner look. Your tee becomes the comfy base layer, and the structure of the blazer does the heavy lifting.
5. Oversized + Biker Shorts
It’s giving cool-girl running errands. Add sneakers and sunnies, with a long sleeve boyfriend tee and suddenly you’re brunch-ready and comfortable.
🧥 Bonus Style Tip: Use it to “tone down” fancier pieces
Got a silky skirt that feels too much for Monday? Throw on your boyfriend tee and sneakers. Suddenly it’s not extra—it’s fashion.
