A great classic among feminine clothing styles, the androgynous (or masculine-feminine or even boyish ) look goes through the seasons without ever going out of fashion. And if the basics of this look remain the same or almost the same, its key pieces evolve according to men’s trends .
Focus on the men’s pieces that we will love to wear this year and our advice for incorporating these masculine trends into your feminine style .
The essentials of a trendy feminine-masculine style
Like every clothing style, the androgynous look has its key pieces . Essentials of the genre that embody style and serve as a basis for outfits. Here are the clothes that, in our opinion, should be in every boyish wardrobe this season!
Loose pleated pants
Very trendy among men at the moment, wide-leg suit pants are a must-have for those who want to adopt a masculine-feminine look .
We preferably choose it with a low waist, straight cut and long enough so that it hangs a little at the ankles. It must be wide enough to give you a masculine look, but not so wide that you drown either, be careful!
To play the androgynous card to the fullest, we favor the classic colors of the masculine suit : dark gray, navy blue, brown or even black.
The jacket
If there is one men’s trend that we see everywhere this season, it’s the vest (the sleeveless suit vest). Worn next to the skin with jeans for a chic-casual look or with matching suit pants for a much more dressy look, it is ultra-trendy, worth shopping without hesitation!
The thick knit vest
In winter, we curl up in a thick knit cardigan, a perfect masculine piece for a feminine-masculine style that is both trendy and comfy.
Combined with blue jeans and a pair of sneakers, this style of vest works real miracles! Don’t hesitate to put it on over a satin camisole with a lace neckline to get a slightly more glam outfit.
The oversized blazer
A trendy jacket if ever there was one, the men’s blazer rides on the androgynous and 90s trends , the hottest fashion trends of the moment.
We of course adopt it without hesitation, making sure to choose a model with disproportionate shoulders, because it is this extra-wide effect that we like. Besides, remember to look for this type of blazer in the men’s section of thrift stores, you will find some gems!
The XXL shirt
Finally, the last masculine piece that you absolutely need in a masculine-feminine wardrobe worthy of the name is of course the oversized white shirt or other XXL colored shirt . Extremely versatile, it will go just as well with high-waisted jeans as worn open over a tank top with suit pants. We love it.
Here are 3 easy-to-follow tips for incorporating masculine trends into your feminine style with class .
Take care to structure the silhouette
Who says men’s trends generally says oversized pieces in which we float. However, when you wear clothes that are too big for you, you absolutely have to take care to structure your silhouette to maintain a certain look, and not look like you are carrying a bag!
To do this, nothing complicated, you must rely on visual elements that provide structure : wear your oversized blazer with the sleeves rolled up, add a belt at waist level to mark it, create beautiful volumes with a shoulder bag. round hand for example, etc.
Keep feminine elements
Furthermore, it is also important to maintain feminine elements in your look when you are trying to obtain a feminine-masculine style . Also, when you opt for men’s clothing, try to combine it with a feminine piece, whether it is an accessory, a piece of clothing or even a beauty look.
For example, if you wear blue jeans and an oversized knit cardigan, add heels, a stack of necklaces, red lipstick or even a lace bralette, your choice!
Think about accessorizing!
Finally, whatever outfit you choose, remember to accessorize it! You can opt for masculine or feminine accessories, depending on what you are looking to achieve. We love, for example, wearing a very masculine oversized watch with a man’s suit worn without anything underneath; adding a thin animal print belt to an oversized blazer both structures and feminizes the silhouette; etc.
Don’t be afraid to have fun and try out combinations, you’ll always be in time to remove an accessory if the result isn’t what you imagined!
