60 Second Style: Menswear

Elle 60 Second Style

As a self proclaimed dress girl, I’m just learning to embrace the menswear trend. A great
tailored pant is a wardrobe staple but I feel to masculine in wide-leg trousers and a classic
men’s button-down. Here’s some easy ways to keep the look that give it a feminine twist.

ZARA Black Vest $39

Wear your favorite men’s button-down or tuxedo shirt.

JOSEPH ABBOUND tux shirt at century 21 $88

But instead of classic white try a colored stripe or a brighter solid.

ZARA Button Down $49

Your favorite tailor can quickly and inexpensively fit a men’s button-down shirt to your
proportions.

ZARA Black Trouser $89

Keep the slightly masculine coloring cuffs that define it for a nice balance. Ask them to
taper down the shoulders and the chest.

Black Ribbon from M&J trimmings $10

Finally, instead of wearing men’s cufflinks with your fitted shirt try fretting a small
velvet ribbon through the cufflink holes and tie them into small neat bows.

EMILIO PUCCI silk scarf $20
