Shopping in Your Man's Closet - Modest & Casual Chic Outfit

Sometimes you feel like you have nothing to wear, but then the best part is head over to your man’s, brother’s, dad’s closet and you’ll find a trendy outfit waiting for you. Why are men’s dress shirts so comfy? I would love it if we could make more of these for women as well. The wrinkle-free, breathable and effortless dress shirts are just waiting to be worn since the pandemic. The more oversize, the better: more chic and more comfort.
