This is a man's world

Its that time of year again where the flirty florals transform into the masculine outlines of the autumn/winter collections.


Every year the shoulders get broader, the suits become even more manly and the hair and make up become even more androgynous. this year is no exception. Its time to trade in the brogues and chinos from the summer and swap them for the crisp white shirts, the black peg leg trousers and the oversized tuxedos. the hair is cropped and slick back, the make up is dark, cold and dramatic. It is all over the catwalks this year and is stronger than ever.  


Donna Karan has managed to update this 'manly' look with the comeback of the pencil skirt this Autumn/winter with the use of grey instead of black. this look is still strong yet still feminine The collection this year features more feminine features than many of the others yet its still so statement.

The highstreet is evolving rapidly and getting better with every season. This trend dominates the hightreet with the likes of Topshop, Zara and River Island making this catwalk trend ready available on the highstreet.

It's time to become one of the boys!
