Man Up!

Suits, trousers, and oxfords aren’t just for the men in our lives.  Ladies, we can be very fashionable with menswear inspired trends.  I know most of the world is tired of hearing about the Kardashians, however, these ladies can really pull off the menswear trends!  Not only can we incorporate some more masculine pieces into our wardrobes, but we can also draw inspiration from the way men dress.  

Menswear pieces can make an outfit looks very trendy.  You don’t have to go too far with the trend either.  Structured shoulders or blazers are an easy way to pull off this look.  If this still seems like too much for you, add a blazer to a more feminine flirty dress or top.  This will still be trendy while keeping your look feminine at the same time.  Another great way of incorporating menswear trends is with color.  Colorful blazers have really exploded on the scene for this spring and summer.  Two great color options are bright pink and mint green.

Not only do these pieces add interest and fashion flare to your outfits, they are also very versatile.  A simple blazer can be worn in so many different situations.  It can be worn as a very casual piece and also easily dressed up depending on what it is worn over.  A black blazer is an item that every woman should have in her closet.  After the black blazer is conquered move onto color!

Don’t be afraid of the menswear trend.  The key is not going too far and wearing a complete menswear look.  Adding one piece to your normal wardrobe or a feminine outfit will add some contrast and help you to stand out with your look.  Not all looks are for the guys.  Menswear should inspire us!
