Borrow from the Boys: 3 Ways to Make Menswear Work for You

The shape and tailoring of a man’s blazer mean there are plenty of opportunities to create a powerful silhouette. Juxtapose structured shoulders with slim trousers or flares. Stay on trend in a vibrant animal print, or wear layered gold jewellery to add shine to the seriousness of a man’s blazer.

A men’s button-down is a comfortable and effortlessly cool way to elevate your classic shirt and jeans combination. Play with proportions by wearing your oversized men’s shirt with straight-leg jeans and a classic heel. Rolling up the cuffs of your sleeves and trying out different ways to tuck in your shirt are a stylist’s tricks of the trade to create detail in your outfit.

This look is as easy as it gets when it comes to clashing masculinity and femininity, and is a great way to make dressier pieces work for daytime. Simply grab a men’s T-shirt (a little on the large side) and tuck into your favourite skirt. This looks great with anything printed, whether it be a flirty mini-skirt, or an elegant silk slip. Finish with a street style favourite – this season's essential kitten heel.
