Trend: One of the Guys

One of the Guys...

Girls, get ready to borrow from the boys this season; because with designers such as Ralph Lauren and Paul Smith bringing out collections of white shirts, boyfriend blazers, bow ties, braces and brogues, there's no hiding the fact that the boys are back in town!
The Boyish look is all about the right trousers, shirt and shoes. Take these Miu Miu velvet cropped skinny trousers for example; they are not in any sense girly, however the fact that they are skinny fitting and do not fall past the ankle give them a slightly more sexy feel.
The trick to getting the perfect white shirt is not trying to find the one that looks most like a mens' work shirt, in fact this Topshop button down is the complete opposite! It is oversized, not fitted, which gives the whole look a more casual feel - even with the Canali bow tie!
Finally, the article that makes the whole outfit: the shoes! These Kurt Geiger leather brogues finish the look off and give the outfit an elegant and classy feel.
Take a look at the trend on the catwalk! -
