While your sartorial tastes may lean toward the feminine and floaty, the season’s design aesthetic also points toward wearable, androgynous fashion. Borrowed from the boys and revamped for the fashion girl, the latest take on tomboy chic style features loose layers accessorized with ladylike finishes. Whether you’re heading to work or to play, follow the examples from the season’s runways and embrace this trend now.

Casual Chic

Although you may think of a pantsuit as an essential ensemble for the corporate world, try taking your cues from the Kenzo catwalk and trading in your typical black suit for an edgy, casual alternative. The look of a dark plum boyfriend blazer paired with loose straight-legged trousers is a funky, playful approach to the suiting trend. To finish off your Saturday style in true cool girl fashion, pair your suit with a basic black leather tote and chunky shoes.

Work Wear

Your work wardrobe may scream “alpha female”, but you can always channel menswear inspired style for a day at the office. Style a crisp white button down blouse with an oversized camel-coloured ribbed knit sweater, as spotted on the runway at Michael Kors. Complete your versatile yet entirely professional outfit with flowing grey slacks, a neutral plaid cape coat and brown leather loafers.

Evening

As you step into party girl mode for the evening hours, bring a hint of boyish charm into your sartorial statement with a loose-fitting grey coat (as seen at Sally LaPointe). For a bold wintertime ensemble to keep you warm as you escape on another Friday night adventure, swap your black bodycon dress for a subtly sexy grey skirt with daring car wash pleats. Add a snowy white turtleneck and a pair of textured black leather ankle booties, for a night out look which is effortlessly chic.
