Girls Will Be Boys: Yay or Nay?

There's been a lot of talk in mags and (thanks to a certain Mrs Beckham) on telly about the Winter trend for women dressing in men's style tailoring, but most high street stores seem to be staying clear of it, preferring instead to push us all into shift dresses, smocks and leggings. However, a select few are taking the risk and bringing us affordable versions of the mansize look. See these offerings from Zara and Oasis for details.

So the question is...would you give this look a go? Are mainstream stores right to bypass the look on the assumption that most of us will be giving it a wide berth? Or are you dreaming of the perfect pair of slacks and a great men's shirt? 'Girls Will Be Boys' - Yay or Nay?

Girls Will Be Boys: Yay or Nay? - Comments

    yay, i like it and think that it goes good with any figure as long as u pickt he right pieces of mensware.

    Yay! I think it's very sophisticated and elegant, and a woman can finally express herself differently via her attire. I also agree with Carlene, it allows women more freedom in their expression. I personally love it.

  • Yay, but I hate the pic on the right witch looks bland and shapeless. Menswear inspired clothing on women can be empowering and sexy, think Marlene Deitrich. I think this trend is a logic retaliation to all the frou frou and babydoll bows we've had for the last several years.

    YAY! I find men's tailoring more comfy for pants. However, I don't like to wear all men's clothes. I'll wear the pants and jacket with a lacy top and killer heels.
