5 Tips Borrowed from the Menswear: A Feminine Twist
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.
