May a woman wear her husband’s jacket or socks?

Assalamualaikum

Regarding the prohibition of women dressing like men, is it permissible for a wife to wear her husbands jacket or socks temporarily if she can’t find her own?

الجواب حامدا ومصليا ومسلما

In the aforementioned scenario, it would be permissible for the wife to wear her husband’s jacket or socks provided it is not worn with the intention of imitating men. 

والله اعلم

Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala knows best.
