Pink Panther

I didn’t want to start off with a complex outfit like this one. But when it comes to the matters of heart you’re just powerless to resist. This post is an ode to menswear.

   I’ve always been a firm believer in learning by following in somebody successful’s footsteps. One of the most successful ground-breakers in fashion was Marlene Dietrich, who brought menswear into the women’s world. Indeed, there is no easier way to stress one’s femininity but to envelop oneself in male clothes. Not to mention the feeling of a protecting embrace when wearing men’s suits.   

   This outfit is a perfect example of a true feminine spirit wrapped in a men’s robe. I do not actually know a single one self-respecting heterosexual man who would be willing to wear pink trousers. And, normally, I am not a big fan of pink either, but in this case it works perfectly to emphasize one’s playfulness and inventiveness. The pink on the male cut doesn’t make you look girlish, but it actually works for your advantage creating the literal “bright-woman-in-the-men’s-world” impression.  

If you want to try this look out, just remember that the clothes have to be not much larger than your actual size. Mix it with some extravagant feminine shoes and accessories and don’t forget a belt. All in all, have fun with it.

Sincerely yours,

E.R.
