STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Borrow From The Boys

Women have been borrowing looks from boys for decades. You see your favorite celebrities like Rihanna and the Olsen twins work these looks effortlessly. Menswear for women can be a tricky trend, but this Fashionista I captured would make you want to embrace your inner tomboy! I’ve chosen a couple of items to add into your wardrobe to give you your menswear inspired look:

You could thank Pharrell and his Vivienne Westwood hat for making the fedora popular again. A fedora is a perfect way to add a menswear touch to any outfit. You could find an affordable fedora at any fast fashion retailer like Forever 21 and H&M. Pair with your oversized sweater and busted knee skinnies like this Fashionista did.

Sneakers are not just for the gym anymore. They are great way to look stylish and super comfortable for those long walks to class. Sneakers come in many styles and colors to choose from. They can give your outfit a cool and easy menswear look.

To push your look even further, add unexpected menswear accessory: a statement bag! Instead of carrying your books in a tote or in a plain backpack, step it up a notch and try a leather backpack.  You can even try a suitcase if you are feeling daring like this Fashionista. The possibilities are endless.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Be more daring with your looks. Step out of your comfort zone and try something new. Add an unexpected accessory to give your outfit a tomboy touch!”
