HOW TO PULL OF THE ANDROGYNOUS LOOK

There’s something undeniable about that Androgynous look: it is awkwardly delicious! It makes us kind of curious and definitively makes people’s head turn (Shock Factor!). If you don’t feel satisfied with range of options defined for your traditional gender role or you simply want to try something different without being too bold or too sexy, it could be a great choice to look modern and confortable. Androgyny is the balancing of feminine and masculine traits. If you are female and wish to look androgynous, you are seeking to minimize some of the feminine aspects of your personality and appearance, and maximize many of the masculine aspects. Yves Saint-Laurent started the whole "tuxedos for women" trend and I’d say that it’s a look that plenty of women are apprehensive about trying out, so we can work our way up by incorporating pieces that bring out your masculine side in a very chic way.

Let’s get things straight: straight leg pants, button downs and cardigans are always a great choice. You necessarily have to buy a two piece trouser suit to get that androgynous look. For example: pairing high-waisted blue jeans with a super soft white tee and minimal accessories, perhaps a chunky metal watch; this works great for a casual look.

Important: Make sure everything is well-fitted and figure-hugging to lift the outfit from basic to awesome. These days the masculine tailoring on feminine textures is a most, so don’t be afraid to mix elements. You can step out in crisp white shirt dresses with oversized grey coats and blazers in the finest wool or of course, navy cropped boiler and mid-length pleat skirts with multi-pocketed clutch bags. Be careful with the accessories, ‘discrete’ is the keyword for this look.


So, what do you think??
