One of the hot runway trends this year is masculine-inspired clothing for women. This trend started with Spring’s safari look and belted jackets and tops. For fall, the trend is very similar, though there are some feminine touches, like ruffles and rouching.
A lot of designers are carrying jackets and suits this fall. Nic & Zoe and Yuvita both carry great belted jackets and matching trousers or skirts, and KLd Signature carries a swingy cropped houndstooth jacket. Kld Signature’s jacket would look fab with one of the ruffled tops below and a simple black pencil skirt or black pants.
Cino makes a great assortment of long-sleeve tops that work as pretty layers under your cardigans and suiting pieces. All have exquisite detailing, like hidden buttons covered with tiny ruffles or tuxedo pleating on the neck area. These shirts are feminine and pretty, and compliment your masculine looks perfectly.
As always, pants are the foundation of your outfit. One or two great pairs of pants can carry you through the whole season. Anac’s Rocky Mountain wide-leg pants juxtapose nicely with a fitted top or belted jacket. Complete the look with black heeled boots and simple silver jewelry. Or, for a punch of color, try Nic & Zoe’s trousers in tarnish. With a more fitted silhouette and slightly higher, belted waist, they’re a work-appropriate way to show off your curves. They would look perfect with one of Cino’s ruffled tops and a jacket or cropped vest.
While this trend isn’t novel or new, it is a great trend for a variety of body types. The ruffles and pleats help fill out a small figure, while belted and tailored waists are great for creating definition in a fuller figure. Plus, this trend really compliments your workday staples, while still allowing you to have fun with your fashion.
