Welcome back to the ever-evolving world of fashion, and this week we’re taking on a personal favorite of mine: menswear for women. Whether you’re fashion forward or not, I promise you this is a trend you can rock. It’s such a flattering look. I have super-broad shoulders and a tummy and these looks leave me looking long and lean.
I wanted to dive into three recent looks that encapsulated the essence of mastering men’s style. Well, at least I think I did! Plus, these were relatively easy to piece together, and I wanted to share how I did it. So, grab your style notes because you’re in for a treat!
Look 1: All About Neutrals
Neutrals. They’re timeless, IMHO. I paired a cute Target set that featured a sophisticated tan vest paired with matching pants. The material was a thicker linen that kind of looked like tweed rom far away. I wore this for an understated but classic, elegant look. But you could wear this so many ways. I paired this set with some classic adidas to add that cool girl style. Whether it’s a formal event or a casual dinner, this look effortlessly strikes the right balance between sophistication and simplicity.
To nail this look:
- Choose well-fitted pieces for a polished appearance.
- Elevate the ensemble with accessories. I picked earrings and cool shoes, but you could always add stylish belt and chunky necklaces.
- Embrace the versatility of tan and brown shades for added depth. A brown leather purse would have looked so gorgeous with this.
Look 2: Dare to Be Bold 
If you’re more into making a bold statement, my second look incorporates the neon trend. For me, neon is a brand color so it isn’t just for streetwear…this eye-catching combination of a neon vest and pants is designed to make heads turn. Perfect for those who want to stand out from the crowd and embrace the vibrancy of current fashion. Neon is everywhere you look – this set is from Express.
To rock this look:
- Keep the rest of your outfit neutral to allow the neon colors to shine.
- Balance the brightness with subtle accessories and shoes.
- Confidence is your secret weapon – own the look with style and flair!
Look 3: Classic with a Twist
Closing our style triad, I present to you a classic look with a modern twist – this white/pinstripe vest paired with jeans. This was a NYC-inspired look (for a speaking event in the Big Apple) – and this ensemble seamlessly merges formal and casual elements, offering versatility for a range of occasions. Pair your choice of shoes and you can literally go anywhere. This combo is from Rent the Runway. Use our code to get 30% off your first month of a Rent the Runway membership!
To ace this look:
- Opt for a pinstripe vest to infuse a touch of old world sophistication.
- Choose well-fitted jeans that complement the vest’s style and shape.
- Experiment with different shirt colors to customize the overall vibe.
These three distinctive men’s fashion looks are here to inspire your style journey. As you can see, these looks are all on opposite ends of the spectrum – and I like to think I killed all three. I also love The Drop for the latest in current fashion trends (including menswear!)
Whether you’re drawn to the timeless allure of neutrals, the boldness of neon, or the classic with a twist, always remember that confidence is the ultimate accessory. Which menswear look resonates with you the most?
