‘Why is this tiny piece of clothing SO expensive?’ You’ll find this statement very familiar if you’ve gone shopping for yourself with a guy friend even once. But hey! They’re not wrong in feeling so. Especially because the similar striped sweater that you own, he bought for much cheaper from the men’s section. Well, cheap clothes are not the only reason to check out men’s wear. Here are 10 fashion things women should buy in men’s section. Who knew you were looking for these essentials in the wrong section?!
1. An Oversized Sweater
Winters are incomplete and not as fashionable without uber cute and comfy sweaters. Instead of trying to find the *perfect* oversized sweater for yourself in your section, head to the men’s wear and you’ll find one so easily! You’ll find good quality ones that aren’t too expensive. Double bonus!
