Perhaps it’s because I grew up playing baseball and ditch ’em and with the neighborhood boys, or the fact that I have a brother and no sisters, but I’ve always been drawn to style with a quirky androgynous edge.
Pretty much any look that incorporates menswear-inspired trends totally intrigues me, and even more so when the contrast is increased by combining it with flirtier, feminine items. I couldn’t help but notice that I’ve been pinning a lot of these types of looks lately, and I thought I’d share some of my favorites here for a little Spring inspiration.
Two-tone wide-leg trousers are genius by themselves, in my book,
but a floral peplum shell topped with a quirky vintage bowler hat
(plus a kick-ass hair cut) make the look a creative take on simple basics.
Tess is always so great at pulling off these wonderfully inventive style experiments,
and her vintage floral mini layered over a little boys thermal (!),
looks great paired with classic low-top Chuck Taylors.
Claire knows how to mix in some great boyish basics,
and this is one of my recent favorites of hers.
Not easy to do denim overalls well, but she totally nails it here;
A drape-y cardigan and delicate jewelry complete the look.
What are you thinking about these tomboy-ish trends… are you going to be working in any menswear pieces into your outfits this season? Which look above is your favorite?

I love incorporating menswear into my style (read: rummaging through husband’s closet). :)

I have white wide leg pants like the ones in the first pic. They have a black waistband and black stripes down the sides. I LOVE them!
Love these girls especially Claire.
I NEED those pants!
