  • The secret to wearing masculine style (without looking like a dude) is to balance menswear-inspired pieces, like a boyfriend blazer or full-leg pants, with fitted and feminine flourishes. A no-nonsense blazer softens up when worn with a silky, patterned blouse and trim, lightweight sweater. Or pair ladylike high-heel loafers with slim pants to keep a handle on the schoolboy charm.

    A feminine kisser, dazzling smile and gorgeous locks easily add girl power to any menswear look.

  • WOMAN OF THE HOUR

    A built-for-the-boys timepiece is the must-have accessory. Whether you prefer a metal link or leather strap, choose a size that makes a statement on your wrist without engulfing it completely.

  • FLAT-OUT CHIC

    Shoe styles from bygone eras have made a major comeback and offer another way to get in on the menswear trend. Brogues, saddle shoes, oxfords and penny loafers are all stylish options, with the most fashion-forward of the bunch boasting deep hues, velvet touches or a glossy finish. A natural match with jeans or pants, they’re also surprisingly chic with full skirts or dresses.

  • A LEG UP

    While most designers showcased slim, cropped pants as the silhouette of the season, it’s not for every body shape. If you have fuller hips and thighs, wide-leg pants will be more figure-flattering and are big on style. This fall, choose ones in weighty wool, tweed or glen plaid fabrics — a great match to a soft bow-tie blouse.
