Menswear in women's fashion


Years ago it was unheard of for women to be wearing men’s clothes. Women were to stick to the conservative skirt, a blouse, pantyhose, and pumps. Today women are taking the world by storm and turning the tables. Men’s wear is one of the top Fall 2010 fashion trends in women’s fashion.

Women have taken the slacks and bowties out of the men’s closets, added a feminine touch, and invented a new style. Weather the cause of this goes back to sexism in the workplace and women trying to get noticed and respected as much as men, will never be known, but what is known is that this trend is getting women noticed in every kind of way. Menswear has found the way into the hearts of many women, though a sense of femininity is lost there is something sexy about a women confident enough in her own skin to wear a man’s clothes.

The fedora hat was originally a women’s fashion in the 20th century, but then the fedora came back in use in 1919 as a men’s middle class clothing accessory. We see today that the fedora has become versatile and accepted among men or women. So how do you pull men’s wear off? The answer is simple; accessories, colors, and confidence. Any men’s wear item can be dressed up with the right necklaces, bangles, and belts, but keep it simple. Less is more! Colors are also important. If you are pulling off a black men’s blazer add a pink or purple shirt under it to add a feminine touch. And the most important thing is confidence. If you don’t have confidence when wearing men’s wear then you will just end up feeling masculine. With confidence you can successfully pull off any article of men’s wear.
