Thanks to genderless and androgynous pieces, women have boldly crossed the line from womenswear into menswear. The coolest thing about this look is that you don’t necessarily have to buy new outfits, burrow some fashion ideas from your boyfriend, husband, father or brother. Rock crisp white shirts, pin stripe suits, and menswear inspired shoes like loafers or sag your pants a little and let your boxer like underwear peep through.
