Janet Jackson and Gwyneth Paltrow prove men’s tailoring has an edgier side.

Think hard lines, muted tones and an over-all polished look. However, don’t be fooled into thinking that you can’t be versatile when playing around with mens clothing. Put your own spin on it by wearing bright colors, a cute tee under a blazer (a la Gwyneth) or invest in a pair of braces (suspenders) and team with a fitted shirt to add a feminine twist to your look. I love the ‘ankle shoes’ by Kurt Geiger, they’re the perfect example of feminine elegance fused with masculine chic.
I definitely love this look and picked up a pair of heeled oxfords earlier this winter. I should think about getting a pair of masculine trousers--with a pinstripe or something to play it up a little more.
ReplyDeleteI love tailored clothes with pinstripes. Let me know if you find a great pair of pants ;)

i like this look but i doubt i could ever pull it off
ReplyDeletei am in love with suits. can't wait to find a cool pair of tuxedo pants and i really want a polo tie for the great, fun and colorful stripes!
ReplyDeleteI will never understand why some people think Paltrow is a style icon. She looks like a trailer park lottery winner.
ReplyDelete^^ Really? I love Gwyneth's style though admittedly that is not the best pic of that outfit. She's not my favorite style icon but to me she has a little sumthin' sumthin' going on!
ReplyDeletei think Janet pulls this look off much better
