Tired of frilly skirts, lace shifts and feminine dresses? It's a good time to get the "dude" look, which is no longer about borrowing your boyfriend or your partner's clothes, but picking up men's clothes that are customised for you.
The new trend, which is a nod to androgyny, is about wearing masculine looking attire that makes you look sexy, despite the severity of the style. As the buoyant, boyish mood continues through the season, more and more women are opting for tailored clothes in masculine cuts and accessorised with bow ties, smart satchels and men's shoes.
Though menswear touches being infused into women's styles has been around since the days of Coco Chanel, it is now increasingly being used by fashion designers and fashionistas to make a quirky style statement.The way to get the look right it to wear the right clothes, so that you reflect an androgynous style and not look like a cross dresser. Experts suggest wearing plus sized shirts, loose men's trousers, Oxford shoes or loafers. A tie looks good too, as also a manly cardigan and a man bag. If you are looking at a more casual look, go for turned up chinos or cotton trousers, informal vests, turned up collars and chunky belts. Wafarers, Aviators or round sunglasses also look masculine and yet you can exude a feminine elegance too. Structured silhouettes, a white, buttoned up shirt, a lot of hardware on your clothes or even a sharp pair of black suit trousers can help you get the 'dude' look right.
Stick to colours liek navy, grey, brown and black. To retain the feminine side of your personality, wear plenty of mascara, scrunch up your hair and wear pale makeup. The key to getting the 'dude' look right is to remain understated, even while wearing clothes that look totally over the top. The idea is to wear men's clothes elegantly and look totally feminine too.
