Androgony is a trend that features every season in one way or another. It's a woman's way of hinting at power, status and independence - "I can pull off a suit better than any man." I've got a friend that embodies this trend and does so faultlessly, but I cannot lie it helps too have a slender, quite petite frame. The blazer and trousers featured here are not of a set which makes the look a little less formal, with the casual wrap of the trousers complimenting the strong tailoring of the blazer. The nail and lip trend of the moment is ombre, so why not translate this to your outfit? This shirt is one of my favourites around is a refreshing take on the suit shirt combination. I prefer a bow tie to a normal tie for this look, but either could be used to round of the androgony trend. The frilly socks add a naive, feminine element that contrasts the strong lines of the other garments, and brogues after all are essential for this look. Androgony can be sexually endearing in a contrary way, just take a look at the images on the left.
