I know we are all ladies here, but c’mon every once in a while it’s kind of fun to channel your inner testosterone and what better way to do that than through your fashion choices? All across the runways for Spring 2014, menswear inspired pieces could be spotted. Ralph Lauren, Tom Ford, and Helmut Lang all showcased structured blazers, fitted trousers, and monochrome pant suits in their collections.
How do you sport this trend you may ask? Well, if you’re not the boldest fashionista out there try incorporating one menswear inspired piece in your outfit. That could be anything from a leather pair of brogues to an oversized blazer that resembles a men’s sport coat. Or if you are comfortable being a bit more daring, I suggest a full pant suit (either a blazer/trouser combination or a full length romper).
When you’re out shopping or even just looking through your closet, here’s how to spot menswear inspired pieces:
- Look for tailored pieces that define body shape. Nothing that is drape-y or loose. For example, fitted blazers, blouses, trousers, cropped pants and a-line skirts.
- Focus on fabrics as well as muted prints/patterns. Keep an eye out for plaid, houndstooth, and pinstripe prints along with tweed, wool, and linen fabrics. However, a pop of color can’t hurt either!
- The trend even extends into footwear. Target flat shoes such as loafers, brogues, and booties in neutral colors. But don’t be afraid to wear your favorite heels to add a girly touch.
