Every time I travel to Europe I am heavily influenced by the fashion I see. The majority of both men and women take pride in what they wear and their sense of style always seems effortless, if not inate. I constantly find myself being the most inspired when I see women wearing more masculine outfits. When I say masculine I mean like menswear inspired pieces. I would love to find a good tailored suit to wear (currently eyeing this one) that is menswear inspired yet still sexy. There’s just something about it that says, “I’m really cool and IDGAF”. Sorry, there’s just no other way to put it.
Today’s outfit definitely has some European flare to it and it is really easy to recreate! If you have a blazer, button down, and a pair of faux leather leggings or skinny pants, you’re done! If not, everything I’m wearing is extremely affordable! I love the look of a classic blazer and this double breasted grey one is everything. It’s tailored while still having that relaxed boyfriend fit, it’s under $35, and it has POCKETS! Seriously so worth it. I have already thrown it on over a white tee, skinny jeans and a pair of pumps for an easy date night look. If you are a fan of button downs I highly recommend snagging this one before it sells out! It has the timeless feel of a crisp white button down with a fun peplum hem. Super flattering and a piece you can wear year round!

What do you think of menswear inspired pieces? Do you like this style or do you prefer to stick to more feminine looks?
Thanks for reading!
