ANDROGYNOUS STYLE

Today I wanted to share the trend that is transforming ladies fashion. This hot new style embraces key elements of masculine and feminine flair, perfectly merging these into sleek, sexy and polished looks. This trend is referred to as 'Androgynous Style.' It highlights the masculine and feminine blurred boundaries not only in fashion but in today's society. Androgynous fashion has been celebrated in street style and on the runway by combining feminine colours and prints with sharp and tailored silhouettes.  I think the key way to truly master this style is to embraces its core fundamentals.  Choose feminine prints such as floral blazers, shirts or even playful and bright ties worn with a very tailored suit.  The Androgynous style can have great sex appeal particularly if your pieces are worn with a snug fit, almost creating an undersized appearance, remember this suits (pardon the pun) the top part of your outfit more.

I have styled several Androgynous style looks below. I'm excited to try out this style in Spring by layering a buttoned up shirt, worn with a preppy style cardigan, a striped tie and high waisted tailored shorts.

 I encourage you ladies to try adding a touch of 'Androgynous style to your corporate look. Start by simply adding a borrowed skinny tie from your partner and wearing it with your pant suit.
