Masculine

The feminine-masculine battle has moved on the catwalks. On one side there are the ladylike trends with long romantic dresses or the '50s sexy outfit that exude femininity at its highest level. On the other hand, there is the masculine trend with clearly structured and clean cuts, neutral colors, and clothes that seem to be borrowed from your boyfriend's wardrobe, yet reinterpreted in a feminine way. If you want to know in what pieces to invest, take a look to the fall/winter 2010-2011 feminine vs masculine trends.

Masculine pieces matched with feminine ones can help you create a bold, provocative, yet sensual style. Using masculine items means reinventing and adapting masculine clothing to the feminine silhouette, without forgetting to add a touch of femininity to the outfit. Playing with contrasts works great whether you are the classic type or the non-conformist one.

Masculine hairstyles are usually made for strong, active and self-confident women who love to take chances and experiment. As a masculine haircut means short hair, it would never flatter a woman who lacks self-confidence and always feels like hiding behind her long hair. Therefore, you should avoid this type of hairstyle if you find yourself in this category as this might not be the best look for you.

Masculine style is still a source of inspiration for big fashion designers. And this season makes no exception. It's time for pants with masculine cut, vests, shirts and jackets. For a more classy outfit don't forget to accessorize everything with ties, bow ties, brooches and derby shoes. The female dandy trend should always remind us of the 18th century aristocracy. Dolce & Gabbana, Ralph Lauren and Roberto Cavalli took elements belonging to that period and created outfits that express power and strong attitude, as well as femininity and sensuality.
