Womenswear as Menswear

Menswear inspired ensembles for women have been a trend in the fashion industry for decades. Women have incorporated slouchy trousers, suspenders, ties, and suit coats into their everyday wardrobes. The new age man has abandoned overly masculine fashions and opted for a more feminine style. Men are now incorporating popular female fashion trends into their daily wardrobes.

Man bags vs. Murses

Most people use the terms “man bag” and “murse” interchangeably. I however see a difference in a “man bag” and a “murse.” A “man bag” by my definition is any bag that a man carries for the purpose of being fashionable or stylish. Examples are premier label backpacks, leather backpacks, messenger bags, and leather satchel style briefcases. I am intrigued by a man that carries a "man bag". A “murse” on the other hand is a male purse. Examples are male evening clutches, handbags, and shoulder bags. I am all for a man that is stylish and up to date with current trends but a man that is carrying an evening clutch to dinner serves as a problem for me. Let me know your thoughts on the “man bag” vs. the “murse”. Is there a difference or are they one in the same? Is it fashionable or taking it too far?

"Man bags" and "murses" have been quite the rage among the celebrities here are a few followers of the trend.







Scarves

Scarves on men is not a new trend, it is however among younger males. This trend is one that I love. It can have an urban edge or a more sophisticated feel.

Here are a few male celebrities that wear their scarves well.





Skinny jeans

Male skinny jeans and pants are quite popular. I must say I am not a fan of this trend. I think a man’s jeans should be fitted and not sagging to the floor, I also think there is a fine line between fitted and skin tight. Skin tight being the male skinny jeans. Let me know your thoughts.
