Last week marked the first ever Men’s New York Fashion Week. According to Today.com, “Over 60 designers and brands showed their collections for next spring.” The trends exhibited on the runway included Hawaiian shirts, varsity sweaters and linen suits, of course.
While it’s still questionable to have guys wear “girl’s” clothing (a la Jaden Smith wearing a non-gender conforming skirt), girls can easily wear the same menswear styles. Many female celebrities have worn fitted suits on the red carpet. There has been a surge of girls abandoning a feminine look for a more masculine one, which just might be the move for summer. Since most menswear pieces tend to be looser and relaxed looking, what better way to be comfortable in the unbearable summer weather? Hey, I’m all about comfort and this summer, it’s all about comfort and style merging into one.
This Fashionista had a very trendy menswear-esque outfit. The main piece that makes this look menswear is the slouchy, navy denim pants. Her simple, striped black and white shirt is also relaxed and tucked in, which is also very menswear. Her gold necklace and leather and black bucket bag are the perfect accessories for this look because they are simple.
How To: You, too, can rock this look. Try browsing the thrift store like this Fashionista did to buy some wide-leg pants, cut if needed. Next, pair it with a basic T-shirt that has a relaxed style (you will find plenty here at Gap). Finally, complement the look with a simple silver or gold necklace, and a leather bag.
