In the same vein, their style has been evolving and elevating as well. As it is currently the latest fashion trend is all about adapting a masculine look, or more precisely, about striking a balance between feminine and masculine elements. Here are some interesting and stylish ideas to consider when putting together an outfit.

Nothing beats the classics, and the pinstripe suit is a classic symbol of masculinity. However, following the entrance of women into the formerly masculine world of work and business  (the empowerment of women hyperlink seem to lead to a dead end), the boundaries between Men, Women, and their business wear have started to fade away gradually. Just out on the street women can often be seen in chic pinstripe suits, which are a perfect choice if you want to visually convey that you are a decisive, and professional woman.

Another choice is to take the opposite approach, and start by choosing some feminine clothing pieces to center your look around. For example, you can go for an elegant gown, and combine it with a pair of sophisticated stilettos. However, even though this may seem like a perfect combination for a formal occasion, we advise you to shatter the monotony of a traditional look, and rock some glam rock accessories which will add that alluring touch of strength to your appearance.

However, this doesn’t mean that you should wear something only because it has been promoted on the covers of world-famous magazines. Instead, try to create your own personal style and keep in mind that it’s most important that you like what you see in the mirror.
