Let's Hear it for the Boy


I'm so inspired by this. Yes, it is a men's look, but so many elements are so right and so applicable to us ladies. I love the idea of a simple gray top and pants paired with this frayed brown blazer, brown leather belt, tucked just so, and weathered brown clutch. Don't forget the gold accessories - a classic watch like this or a charm bracelet or simple gold ring would do.

My mind is racing figuring out how I'd translate this look, with pieces taken from my own closet and also how I'd recreate this look for you, my dear readers. It's finally started to get hot here, so I can't really wrap my mind around a blazer, but a lightweight cardigan for when the air conditioner is on full blast sounds about right. Add a slouchy gray tee with equally slouchy tapered trousers to round out the clothing portion of this ensemble. For accessories, try this incredible briefcase-inspired clutch, Marni-esque platform sandals and a great gold watch, styled after a classic men's style. Et voila, a his and hers style look in classic somber shades done in summer-appropriate cuts and fabrications. How would you interpret this inspirational getup?
