One Of The Boys

The girls are swapping floral skirts for silk ties for one of this season's trends.

With the androgynous models who strutted on the autumn/winter 2011-12 runways, audiences were primed for a gender shake-up. This season, all the girls will be borrowing from the boys, with pinstripes, felt suiting, white shirts and trousers providing a fresh riff on tailoring, while silk ties, cummerbunds and overcoats pack a manly punch
Feminine curves were almost completely hidden under this masculine attire, as the super-sized, slouchy cuts and jackets and overcoats shown at fashion shows.For a feminine twist, add a plunging silk shirt or sparkly trousers and heels -  
The trend showed its more sensuous side at Dolce and Gabbana and Moschino, where monochrome was broken up with flourishes of ornate sequins and gilded embroidery. "The rigid line of tailcoats, tuxedos and riding jackets has been toned down with precious fabrics and decoration," explained Rossella Jardini, creative director of Moschino.
So, are you embracing or ditching this "one of the boys trend"
