Inspired by Menswear

If you've been with me for any amount of time, you may have noticed how much I wear collared shirts, blazers and menswear inspired outfits. Once upon a time I wanted to be a menswear design and did attend college for a few years to make that dream come true.

I love suits and structured garments (Giorgio Armani is one of my favorite menswear designer) with clean lines mixed with flowy materials. I also have a massive jacket obsession due to my love of structure and construction.

I also love ponte knit as it gives a structured look with a lot of comfort, like my black blazer. I also like a lapel in which I can decorate with pins, like this rhinestone cleaver brooch by Kreepsville 666.

Do you have any menswear inspiration in your wardrobe?

Inspired by the Mods

I'm not a Mod, but I love the mod style and if I had a time machine, I would beam myself back to the 60s. Not only do I love mod fashion, but I find the subculture fascinating, love the music of the time (and the revivals) and all the sub-genres that surround the Mod. You can call me a subcultural nerd.

Elements of Mod fashion that I love are:

Scooter dresses

Black & white 

Geometric prints

A-line dresses and skirts

Peter Pan collars

Swing coats

3/4 length sleeves

Knee high boots

Cats eye makeup

Androgyny in women's fashion

I'm seeing this spring season that black and white Mod-inspired fashions are all the rage, oh goodie! Though I don't follow trends, persay, I like to see things that I love creep into the mainstream to become readily available to me.

Did someone say Mod!?

I'll leave you with The Specials *wink*

Thank you for reading!
