A trench, a trouser, a bookbag, and some loafers...herein lie the building blocks to a man's wardrobe. Not a dude? No worries. Here at R29, we like to think that fashion is mostly a porous thing, which means borrowing from your boyfriend means just looking within your own closet. Pair your cognac flats with a cropped pair of black trousers (these Whyred ones come in an awesome cut—and you really can't beat the price). Find a boxy jacket and wear something silky underneath (preferably with a precious pattern). Voila! A perfect outfit good for anytime. Check out our finds below in case you're missing something to complete this look for yourself.
