Not, not men’s fashion! We’re talking about men-inspired pieces made for women. This no-frills approach to business chic is perfect for the office. Look for cute oxfords, tailored blazers and structured handbags in luxe materials.
The menswear trend includes tailored suits, oversized double breasted jackets and blazers. The Boyfriend Jacket and Boyfriend Jeans are definitely a big part of this trend too.
Structured vests, houndstooth and tweed fabrics, trousers and tuxedo details. Go all-out boy style or add a few manly touches paired with more feminine pieces like a ruffled blouse or chiffon skirt.
Here are some of our favorites to add to your wardrobe:
NY&Co Sharkskin Belted Sleeveless Jacket – $50 and NY&Co Ruffle Tweed Vest – $45
L to R: JNY Pant Suit – $180, Anne Klein Houndstooth Coat – $220

Solo Vintage Leather Satchel – $88 and Earth Axxessories Gypsy Tipsy Satchel – $82

How many of you ladies are fans of the new menswear trend? Oxfords, blazers, relaxed or pleated pants, button-ups shirts… Which of these pieces do you actually have in your closet, and which of these trends do you refuse to wear?

I like the menswear trend. I bough black patent oxford heels and a menswear vest last fall. Glad to see the trend continuing! I’ll have to add to it this fall.
I love the menswear trend! especially in the business world. I love to wear nice black slacks a crisp white shirt and a vest
very professional!
I’ve always loved this look! Done the right way, it actually looks so feminine and sexy. I’m coveting the houndstooth coat and tweed pumps.
I have never liked menswear for women besides the workplace! I think its feminine and sexy to have women look like women!

This look allows women to explore fashions that were previousely unheard of. The tailored look of converting mens clothing into a more feminine fitslooks stunning. This is an extreamly professional style that looks great in the workplace and business meetings or dinners. You can also wear a great boyfriend jacket or blazer with jeans for running errands. I will deffinately be investing in a vest and blazer this fall!!
