Do you like menswear as much as I do?

A female actress that really rocks menswear would be this fabulous lady…

 

There is also this smashing woman that does a great job of sporting menswear…

 

Or this lovely lady…

All of them are over 40 BTW…

Just sayin’.

 

It might be strange coming from me, because you know I love my dresses…but nothing makes me feel more badass than when I’m wearing a menswear inspired outfit.

I feel like all I’m missing is a holster in the shot below.

Chambray shirt – TJ Maxx (similar), Jeans – thrifted (sim) Boots – Miss Moos (really nice wedge booties!), Vest – TJ Maxx (sim), Tie – Le Chateau (sim), Hat – Gift (sim), Leather jacket – Danier (sim this one in blue is GAWgeous!)

Go ahead! Make my day punk!

I enjoy menswear inspired outfits because

they make me feel powerful.

Eeek.

I know.

But they do.

What does that say about society? What does that say about me?

I don’t want to think about it too much.

They’re just clothes after all.

Over analyzing details in life can rob you of simple joys.

When I see a women dressed head to toe in menswear I personally identify her as confident, creative and daring. I’d love to be considered any one of those adjectives.

What do you think of when you see a women dressed in menswear inspired clothing?

Could you see yourself wearing any of the outfits I put together below?

 

 

 

Note that you could switch out any of the jeans with a pencil skirt or any of the shoes for a colourful pump if you wanted to “fem” up the look at bit.

In the same sense you could switch out the button up shirts for a silk blouse (even a tie blouse) and each of these looks would still be great. I switched out the t-shirt for the blouse and some heels here.

 

 

 

I’ve got this whole look hanging in my closet right now…must give it a try.

Here are three more of my masculine styled outfits…

Wearing polkadots with a fedora and vest…it works!

Rocking another tie and faux leather pants.

And one last look… I think this is my favourite with the gingham and red tie.

Are you attracted to menswear inspired outfits? Have you ever worn a men’s tie? 

My husband owns quite a few great bow ties and I’ve love to put together an outfit with one of them for fun, just to see if I can pull it off.  I like a challenge : )
