Jenna Lyons Does "Borrow from the Boys"...

This week's magazine issue of Net-a-porter features asks its readers whether their style was more like "femme fatale" or like a "guy" with two guests perspectives.  Mr. Porter's styling director Dan Mays says "man up" and features who do you think?  Jenna Lyons of course (page -5-)!  I am glad this trend continues to be featured because I love such femininity mixed with a masculine staple.  Featured are 5 androgynous pieces such as an ankle boot, masculine blazer, cropped pant, masculine parka and buttoned shirt with beautiful details.

I love an ultra fem blouse paired with masculine-looking pants as shown left in Stella McCartney (pants) and Alexander Wang (blouse).

I think it is all in the details.  If you are going for that masculine look accessories become just as important as the clothing.  A beautiful stripy heel (loving J. Crew's Medina shoes), feminine clutch or a piece of jewelry can make an outfit.  J. Crew's recent capsule collection features Lulu Frost with some gorgeous bangles this one shown with a turquoise stone.  Love!

Happy Pairing!

  1. Cool! Thanks for sharing! I love the feminine menswear look too. Kinda wish I had to dress up like that for work. The medina shoes and orange bangle are super cute too.
