The masculine look

Okay, so women's clothes used to be super girly and whatnot right? Well, nowadays many designers are making women's more based on the men's look. Personally, I think it's so super awesome that women are walking down the runway in suits and blazers, to show that not only men get to wear these cool clothes. It also caters more to women who are more tomboyish, who despise dresses and heels. Even super girly girls love to dress up a blazer or oxfords (such as Taylor Swift).


Trending masculine clothes are oversized blazers, military inspired outfits(boots, skinny cargos), tuxedos, leather jacket, the buttoned up shirt, bow tie, baggy and ripped boyfriend jeans, the classic v neck with a plaid shirt underneath, ties, plaid shirts, oxfords, and more. I find these new additions to womenswear so exciting and fresh, because it's quite nice to have a change.The designers also slick back the runway models hair to create an even more masculine look, which often has the point of showing a woman's beauty even though she is wearing an androgynous look. It's beautiful.

Many women are wearing pixie cuts these days(like myself), which many consider masculine, and sure maybe it looks a little boyish, but I think it highlights a woman's face, showing that women don't have to have long, glamorous hair to be beautiful.



 This masculinity is essentially stripping a woman of her "feminine" accesories, showing her raw, true form, that she is still gorgeous without makeup, fancy clothes, long hair or jewelry.

  1. Yea, I too like the idea of women dressing up as you described in what is said too be more masculine clothes. All though there's like a limit in my opinion, as long as their wardrobes consist mainly on manly clothes after all! Pixie cuts look great too! Good blog :)

  2. As long as it's flattering it really doesn't matter what a woman wears. I think it's interesting that you give both sides like for example your comparison to Taylor swift who is girly but is fine with wearing androgynis clothing. I like your blog! :)
