20 October 2015 www.womanthismonth.com FASHION | trend Masculine tailoring is back on the scene. Pinching your man’s uncomplicated wardrobe is tempting and adding their style to our sometimes complicated, everyday wear may be a smart solution. Since Diane Keaton played the main character in Woody Allen’s movie Annie Hall in 1977, we’ve all been trying to master this style. The boy-meets-girl look had a moment a couple of years ago in a casual way; however, this time the whole trend is much more serious business. Straight cuts, blazers, vests and flat silhouettes are the styles to go for. Manly panache is welcome in offices and governmental departments (and is easily spotted in these places), but how to take it out of that environment and onto the streets in an interesting way? There are two successful solutions: one is to dress up in masculine style from head to toe and the other is to add one element as an eye-catching surprise component. Saint Laurent went formal, taking its inspiration from tuxedos and sharp cuts. Michael Kors visited the eighties with long jackets and wide shoulders in grey wool. Paul Smith and Dsquared2 found their creativity in a more modern approach. Get inspired!
