Menswear...........for Women!

*This suit is from Gucci 

I love this trend that pops up every so often. Menswear for women, power suits, vest, ties, fedoras, and so much more!
Just a brief history. This trend originated in the mid 1970's but it really hit its stride in the 1980's when more women started to work more prestigious job. They were no longer being seen as fragile creatures only meant for the kitchen. they call them power suits for a reason. This is where "power dressing" started. I'm just glad they've gotten rid of the outrageous shoulder pads.
Now if you plan to rock this bold, professional statement the best way to do this is to keep it feminine. make sure you accentuate your silhouette by using cinched waist vests or jackets, high waist pants (if you have the right shape for that) or a pencil skirt. you can also use soft fabrics for a blouse like chiffon, silk or satin. A neutral color suit with a bright or floral blouse or tie makes a great statement.
   I love this look if its kept feminine!
