Late Afternoon's Styling Tips:

Want to add menswear stuff to your stuff? Here are her tips.

Key Pieces:

1. Trousers = CHECK.

2. Blazer = CHECK.

3. Button Down = CHECK.

4. Men's style shorts = CHECK.

5. Oxfords = DON'T LIKE, but I do have old-school PENNY LOAFERS.

Tips on styling the Key Pieces:

1. Pick anywhere from 1 to 4 of the key pieces for the skeleton of your look.

2. How many key pieces you choose will depend on the level of androgyny you’re going for.

3. Pick Key Pieces in neutral tones, save the color for accessories.

4. Create a strong shoulder with a blazer and some shoulder pads.

5. Avoid wearing a dark pant and matching blazer or you run the risk of looking too businessy.

6. You can pair these pieces with different textures and fabrics like lace and silk to play up the feminine qualities of the look.

Key Accessories:

1. A men’s watch = WANT.

2. Fold over clutch = CHECK.

3. Scarf = CHECK.

4. Socks = CHECK.

5. A tie = CHECK? I have skinny scarves that can work as ties.

Styling tips for the Key Accessories

1. Keep accessories to a minimum to maintain the clean and simple lines associated with menswear.

2. Choose statement pieces like a structured clutch or a large watch.

3. Use accessories as a way to add color or pattern to the look.

Styling Tips for Hair and Make-Up

1. Consider the hair and make up to be like the frosting on a cupcake.

2. Keep make-up in the neutral color palette.

3. A pink lip and disheveled hair can be a great way to add a little softens, while a slicked back bun and nude lips will do the opposite.

The main rule to remember is “Have Fun!”, it’s only fashion.
