Fall Winter Fashion Formula #12: Tough Girl Chic

March 13th, 2009

Mix the soft and the hard to create a look that mixes masculine and feminine elements.  Perfect for the tomboy–or any woman who aspires for a bit of adventure.  Here’s how to get the tough girl chic look:

1.  Start with a feminine knit blouse–note the drapey neckline and the ever-so-slight gathers at the sleeves.
2. Slip on a pair of rugged pants; a pair of jeans works, as would a pair of military pants.
3. Add a tough jacket–a peacoat with hardware detailing or a bomber jacket would work equally well.
4.  Mix the soft and the hard with your accessories: a cozy knit hat contrasts with a chain draped belt, a buckled bootie, and a purse with heavy hardware.

How would you mix masculine and feminine elements?  Share your style with us in the comments!
