Boy Meets Girl



This year’s take on the Boy-Meets-Girl look is so simple to emulate and is ultra-stylish. 

We've seen it on the catwalks of Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Ferragamo and Celine and it's a look which works on all shapes and all ages. 

Aim for a playful take on boy-meets-girl style this season with masculine coats and elegant trouser suits. But remember to mix it up with feminine touches to avoid looking too manly. Gloss it up with jewellery or gorgeous high heels or work in feminine colours. 

This Zara blouse is perfect as it has the straight clean lines of masculine tailoring but the soft cream shade and silk fabric make it really feminine and glamorous.

This look couldn’t be easier to pull off. Think straight leg trousers and tailored blazers with clean straight lines. This suit from Whistles has just the right combination of boyish charm with the feminine touch of cropped trousers. 

Outerwear is a great way to work this trend into your wardrobe. This Crombie style coat from Reiss is on trend for this masculine look and will work in seasons to come because of its classic cut. 

For an added touch invest in a pair of loafers - either heels or flats or ultra on trend brogues to complete your boyish look. I love these from Clarks for a girly take on this mannish style.

Suited and booted...you're good to go.
