Man Up

THE DAILY LOOK
Nothing says menswear quite like a white button down. Short in the front and long in the back, this blouse is made for a woman on the go. (Tuck it in for sophistication; knot at the waist for a flirty flair.) Sand-colored jeans are a fun alternative to khaki pants, while a wide, camel-colored leather belt  finishes off the laid-back outfit.

OUT ON THE TOWN
Pairing a cotton tee with loose trousers keeps this look fun and casual. The key to tackling menswear is fit. Choose pants in a ladylike fabric, such as silk, with a cut that flatters a woman’s figure, such as tapering at the ankle. Add open-toe booties and a leather-trimmed cardigan for a little edge.

OFF TO WORK
Style masculine items (such as this hunter green jacket) with feminine details (like the chunky wooden bead necklace) for a softer touch. Pair it with textured snakeskin pants and a white blouse for a more tailored look.
