Boyfriend Watches

Manly Woman's Timepieces by Burberry Look Like Your Man's

First there were the boyfriend jeans, then we had the boyfriend shirt, and now we have the 'Boyfriend' tank watch by Burberry.

This silver-toned timepiece is very different from the usual delicate watches that women are so used to.

I know tons of girls out there who prefer men's watches, so there is no need to borrow your boyfriend's watch anymore, you can now have one of your own!

Implications - Modern females continue to embrace traditionally masculine style, which can be seen through the popularization of 'boyfriend blazers' and oversized mens watches -- like these Burberry watches. As opposed to dainty designs companies should consider creating more masculine, unisex products that allow women to borrow from masculine style.
