This trend is all about the layers and accessories…button-down shirts, sweater vests, blazers, ties, bow ties, oxford shoes, dress pants and chunky watches are just some of the items necessary to pull off this trend. But don’t just slap all of these items together and expect people to think you look sexy and chic. You need to balance out the boldness of the masculine items with pieces like miniskirts, tights, heels, jewelry and, of course, simple makeup and hair. Kate Lamphear (pictured in the third photo), fashion editor for Elle Magazine, is the world champ for rocking this look. If you need some inspiration, take a gander at this stylish lady!

Kate Lamphear, fashion editor for Elle magazine, was looking pretty fabulous around Bryant Park during New York Fashion Week. I absolutely love the masculinity she throws in to counter her delicate, feminine aesthetic. The fitted blazers and the basic colors have got Ms. Lamphear looking like Karl Lagerfeld’s twin! And if you ask me, Kate Lamphear rocks the bleached, edgy cut better than Agyness Deyn! If only Nina Garcia had this much style…and better hair…

Thanks London. Paris. Milan. New York!
