Men are in...

Though it is usually a look saved for tailored suiting and office-only wear, menswear-inspired pieces are a great anytime look this spring. Classic men’s pieces like the jacket, the vest, the tailored trouser, and the button-down shirt are given ruffles, pleats, and other shaping devices to make them woman-friendly.

For a cute casual look, a vest over any type of top is different and fun. Try it over a plain white tee with jeans or a denim skirt with sandals for a day of running errands. Or, wear it to the office over a classic white button-down with lightweight flare-leg pants or khaki city shorts. This vest from Kersh is available in ink blue and pomegranate, both of which compliment a variety of colors.

Jackets are back again in a big way. Though not typically a spring and summer trend, they are perfect for spicing up your workday look and will be great transition pieces for fall. They also make great outerwear for those cool spring nights. This jacket by Yuvita is made of a soft cotton fabric with a metallic thread blended in for shimmer. The deep neckline and wide lapels, complimented by a waist-cinching tie front are great feminine touches that make the jacket perfectly suited to your shapely curves.

This smocked top by Nic & Zoe is a modern take on the classic button-down. The ruching at the waist adds slimming definition and the ruffled sleeves make it even more feminine. The lightweight fabric is perfect for the warm spring weather that is on its way. This is a very versatile piece; it can be worn with jeans or skirts, under a suit, or with simple dress pants for a variety of looks.
Stop by soon to see even more great looks!
