first fashion

Our Favorites from What's New
Fall promises to be awash with androgyny and menswear inspiration, a look I’ve been wading into very slowly. Not ready to completely cast aside my ladylike style, I tend to gravitate toward pieces that will give the ubiquitous menswear trends a feminine slant.

Our brilliant stylists have done it again. I usually steer clear of the overtly feminine nature of lace (I like my ladylike in more subtle doses), but they’ve changed my style mind by pairing this fluttery Beyond Vintage top with destroyed jeans. Beyond Vintage - Lace Batwing Blouse
There is nothing as sexy (and essential) as a pair of black pumps, and these have elevated the footwear staple to artistically inspired new heights. They’ll bring out the vampish side of a tailored suit. Barbara Bui - Mudguard Platform Pumps
We’ve written many a rhapsody to fashion’s favorite wunderkind, and it’s obvious why: each new style is more intriguing, unique, and fashion-forward than the last. This piece keeps with the designer’s tomboy aesthetic, but highlights a woman’s curves. Alexander Wang - Jacket with Leather Belt
Give your menswear-inspired looks a feminine touch with styles from What’s New.
