Boys to Men // Masculine style

Shop My Look Here:

Coat: Tuxedo coat // Top: White blouse with removable neck-tie // Pants: Red lace cropped pants // Shoes: Plaid pumps (old from Ann Taylor). Similar here // Headband: Rosette style headband

Dear friends, womenswear inspired by men’s styling has been popular throughout history. Think of the androgynous flappers in the 20’s and you get the idea. A completely masculine look can sometimes look too severe and contrived, so it’s nice to add a feminine touch to a look otherwise inspired by the boys. I’ve paired the blouse with a necktie and the supremely soft velvet tuxedo coat here with a stylish and comfortable pair of cropped lace pants. I recently purchased the pants and tuxedo jacket on sale. They’re still available. The pants are 60% off the already reduced sale price (and they’re also available in several other colors, including a vibrant teal and a gold-touched peach shade) and the coat is on sale for more than 50% off its original price! I’ve paired the look with plaid pumps, which are another riff on menswear.
