But seriously...try it! You may be surprised at what you find. With a bold mindset and the help of some feminine accessories, dressing with masculine inspiration can be a fabulously unique choice. The mens section offers scads of great apparel from blazers and over sized sweaters to bold striped rugby polos. Mens watches are also a great thing to check out...why buy a "boyfriend" watch from the womens watch department when you can simply borrow your boyfriend's watch? The mens section offers a variety of enticing apparel, but be cognizant of how you put your "man inspired" outfits together. A great way to keep your feminine silhouette is to belt an over sized polo or t shirt and pair it with leggings. If you are going for a mens blazer or sweater, wear it with some tight fitting skinny jeans or jeggings (jean leggings) to balance out the volume of the top. Another great way to maintian your femininity while rocking the manly apparel is to throw on your favorite pair of pearl earrings or diamond studs. I love the contrast between a large mens top and the daintiness of a girly earring. There are so many possibilities!
A great thing about working the man inspired look is that there is a low probability of another girl showing up with the same shirt. We all want to avoid that dreaded exchange of looks you share with the girl across the room who is wearing the same ruffled blouse. Darnit! You were so excited to wear the cute new top that you spent your birthday money on. Another point to be made, women have the advantage of being able to work the opposite genders look...if a guy showed up wearing a dress we would all be very quizzical...so embrace this freedom and work that over sized oxford...you know you want to ;)
