With just a
few styling twists, the classic cues from menswear fashion can be tweaked to
suit an effortlessly chic and feminine look. With the menswear fashion weeks
coming to an end, the new collections of western wear brands provide a whole
new source of styling inspiration for not only men but also women that are
fascinated by an androgynous look. While it may seem hard to make such new
trends a part of your wardrobe, it’s really not as hard as it may seem. It’s
quite literally time to borrow from the boys. Here’s a few simple ways to style
your masculine steals in a feminine way without clashing the two styles.
1. Accentuate Your Waist:
The simplest and chicest trick in the book of feminine fashion is
accentuating your waist by using an accessory. With shirt-dresses on a trend
rise, this is the perfect time to borrow an oversized shirt from the boys.
Don’t limit yourself just to a basic white shirt, try stripes or different
colors and instead of using the usual belt to cinch in your waist, try a funnypack
for a vintage touch and if retro isn’t your style, go for a corset belt or even
a printed scarf.
2. Suit Up The Frill:
The women’s suit has been a staple since the 1940’s but the volume of a
man’s suit is a trend-setter like none other. Pair your borrowed from the boys
suit with a frilly shirt in a contrasting color to add a hyper feminine
contrast to your otherwise androgynous look. If a frilly shirt isn’t your style
try rolling up your trousers and wearing a pair of frill ended socks with a
killer pair of heels.
3. Dressed up Boyfriend
Jeans:
While some might say that a dress over a pair of jeans
is so last century, but from a stylist’s point of view, as long as you carry it
with confidence a fashion trend no matter how old can always be brought back. Click to continue...
