60 Second Style: Menswear

60 Second Style: Menswear Elle 60 Second Style Alia Ahmed-Yahia Contrbuting Editor As a self proclaimed dress girl, I’m just learning to embrace the menswear trend. A great tailored pant is a wardrobe staple but I feel to masculine in wide-leg trousers and a classic men’s button-down. Here’s some easy ways to keep the look that give it a feminine twist. ZARA Black Vest $39 Wear your favorite men’s button-down or tuxedo shirt. JOSEPH ABBOUND tux shirt at century 21 $88 But instead of classic white try a colored stripe or a brighter solid. ZARA Button Down $49 Your favorite tailor can quickly and inexpensively fit a men’s button-down shirt to your proportions. ZARA Black Trouser $89 Keep the slightly masculine coloring cuffs that define it for a nice balance. Ask them to taper down the shoulders and the chest. Black Ribbon from M&J trimmings $10 Finally, instead of wearing men’s cufflinks with your fitted shirt try fretting a small velvet ribbon through the cufflink holes and tie them into small neat bows.
