Wednesday’s cover of WWD caught my attention. The whole Gender Bender/boy meets girl/girl who wears men’s clothing thing has been going since the days of (and even before) Annie Hall. It’s also been a look that I’ve come back to between being compeltely girly/frou-frou/pink and lace, etc.
I love the layering of the striped sweater dress with the sweater vest/cardigan belted around, bare legs, and the boots. The oversized and sloppy pieces work on her rail thin model body mainly since they’re knits and drape nicely on her. And I love the fact that the tongues on her boots just kind of flop… adding more of that undone sloppiness while the rest of her feet are constrained by the laces.
I actually somehow put together an outfit that slightly reflects this look when I was looking for a sweater to borrow from JB. By ‘slightly reflects’ I mean looks nothing like this, but same idea. I think I’m going to end up wearing it tonight, since this weather really won’t offer me many other options. Boy’s clothes are comfy.
