Hey Glamazons!
Women have always brought a smoldering sexiness to menswear, and this season's no different. The boyfriend blazer and the tuxedo jacket were all staples on the catwalk for the Fall season. The secret to wearing the look well is proportion; since you don't want to get lost in the fabric, pair the oversized menswear looks with fitted looks: pants, dresses and even skirts.
Leave the over-the-top menswear costume-y looks to the fashion divas, Rihanna and Chanel Iman (below).
This season's menswear sidesteps the three-piece suits and bowties, instead giving you two pieces to match with the more feminine looks in your wardrobe: (1) tuxedo jackets (2) boyfriend blazers.
Piece to Buy: The oversized men's blazer! It's so unbelievably versatile and when worn right, adds an effortless, unstudied sex appeal to any outfit. There are so many looks you can create with the blazer, let me count the ways: wear it with a sequined blouse, a black fringe cocktail dress, an oversized top and leggings, a white tank and skinny jeans, a black shirt and fitted pencil skirt, a bright pink sheath, the list goes on.
Piece To Buy: Unlike the oversized boyfriend blazer, the tuxedo jacket should be sleek and form-fitting. And since the satin lapels make it fancy, the full look should be dressed-up. Keep it feminine with a short dress, a racy corset or a pair of slim trousers. Add a red lip, layers of pearls and even lingerie (See Rihanna's amazing Balmain outfit above) for irresistible femininity and glamour.
