With all the fantastic color splash this season, we might find it easier to think of dress, skirt, neon handbags and a pair of bright blue shoes. Let’s take a risk and explore the boy in us. After all, it will only show how feminine we really are if we know how to boy it right.
Normally, boy meets girl is often seen in the fall. Twill and tweed tuxedo jackets are easy to wear when the temperature drops. We can wear pants more. We can accentuate the look with a thick scarf and smoky eyes. Black and white seems safer and more “in” than ever. True as it seems, but false. This summer, girls do it better.
We can start by analyzing the classic suit and think of ways to freshen it up for the warm weather. Adding the perfect accessories to this look bring out the girly boy in us. I highly recommend taking the black and white and adding multiple necklaces and bursts of neon that will bring you to notice that black and white is not so boring. That’s when it gets fun.
Taking a pair of scissors, needle and thread to what you already have in your wardrobe might re-invent some staple pieces that have been sitting there collecting dust. Try it and get surprised and inspired by what you can do. Cut the long leggings. Take the length off of your tuxedo pants to above your knee. Take the collar off of your uptight dress shirt. These are fun ways to make the boy fit your girly style. Taking a bobby pin to an old vintage feather and stamping it stylishly in your hair causes you to graduate into innovation. Let’s hope it’s canary yellow.
Loosely wearing girly boy celebrates street chic, and taking bits and pieces of this look gets you best dressed of the season. Street chic allows us all to show the up-most gratitude to our personal style, so think of elements when including boys into the streets. Prop it up with an over sized tee-shirt dress followed by a fitted cropped jacket with your favorite new clutch and your good to go. You can even add dark denim and statement heels and you will still be sweet.
Tips of the trade are everywhere including your favorite secret boutiques, flea markets, and your closet. Boy meets girl this season adds to the imagination of trends that are at large, and we can prove it by inviting the boys in to our circle of style.
