GIRLS WILL BE BOYS

There’s something women love about a crisp, white, tailored shirt. Paired with a smoking jacket or cropped pant, a-la-Katherine Hepburn; age need not apply, it’s impossible not to feel sexy in this timeless ensemble. Diane Keaton set an example for every woman for generations to come when she donned those great pant suits in Woody Allen’s 1977 production, Annie Hall. It’s feminine to feel a little masculine every once in a while. Pea coats inspired by Amelia Earhart, Katie Holmes’ boyfriend jeans and Agyness Deyn’s short hair styles all pay homage to women stepping up to play the part of men (minus the testosterone). Convenience and confidence, enough that is, to fit in with the boys, be it in a trench coat, loose fit slack or saddle shoe.
