Forget the skirts ladies, it’s all about menswear

A new year is indeed the perfect definition of a fresh start, not only in our everyday living but also in our own little fashion world. Let’s for a minute think about all the fashion trends that you have tried over the last couple of months, you might most likely think of Midi skirts, leather jackets, denim on denim, flare dresses, etc. Those are all flawlessly great styles and very lady-like, however, there are many more styles that are worth considering. How about if we take another minute and step out the box and look at all those other possibilities? When you hear the words- natty tailoring, narrow pants and slim fitted jackets what’s the first thought that comes to mind? If your guess was menswear than you’re definitely on the right track.

Creativity in today’s menswear has inarguably been accelerating, We can take a look at celebrities like Rihanna who without a doubt has adopted this trend as her own by adding her personal sense of style to make it look amazing.

The very talented 29- year old singer Janelle Monáe who’s signature black and white wardrobe has set her apart from the rest of the crowd, sure knows how to perfectly incorporate the menswear attire into her looks. Monáe has explained that she wears tuxedos/suits to pay homage to the uniforms worn by her working-class parents and to “help redefine what it looks like to be a woman”.

The point here is to look well put-together, cool yet effortless with a feminine touch. Think about sporty jackets, plaids, suits or even ties, Make it’s fun and interesting.

Having a wardrobe with a few unisex pieces doesn’t mean you’re committing a fashion crime, it only means you’ll save yourself a lot of time when trying to get ready. And lets face it chicas, we all know it can literally take us a lifetime trying to find the perfect outfit. The best part about menswear inspired fashion is indeed the shoes, that is of course if you’re opting to wear moccasins or flats rather than heels.

Which better way to incorporate the menswear trend into our look than with a duster coat? This coat with sharp tailoring and longline silhouette will definitely be the key piece to complete your look.

Just because its menswear does not mean we can’t accessorize! Remember chicas, we’re giving this trend a feminine twist. This chiffon bow neck tie will be an interesting addition to your already fabulous look.
