There’s a difference between being a tomboy and dressing in chic outfits with a masculine touch. You can still maintain your girliness while rocking these rough pieces by accessorizing with feminine earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and handbags. Marc Jacobs’s Spring collection at Fashion Week (as seen in PaperMag) was an overly dramatic interpretation of masculine women’s gear. Style Bytes notes that the latest masculine look is sexier and more laid back, but don’t try stealing your boyfriend’s duds to pull off this look.

Key Takeaways: This season was about unusual pairings of color, patterns and texture: We spotted jersey on satin, burnt orange combined with plum, and prints mixed in with plaids.
Color Palette: Orange and blue, chocolate brown and lime green, plum, burgundy, orange, champagne.
Silhouettes: Wide-legged pants, boxy jackets, slimming jersey wrap dresses and long, flowy skirts.
Accessories Report: Scarves–tied around the head, around the neck, around the waist–anywhere you can dream up.
What’s Wearable: Virtually everything, particularly the beautiful champagne evening gowns included in the collection, as well as slimming wrap dresses and cropped jackets.
What’s Not Wearable: A fringed poncho channeling the year 2004.

Key Takeaways: Volume is key: puffed sleeves, bubble skirts, and wide legged pants. Oversized collars, deep v-necks, 3/4 sleeves, and double breasted coats make us feel like we’re watching NY Fashion Week.
Color Palette: Neutral shades, with splashes of green, purple, maroon, and mustard.
Silhouettes: 3/4
length tops, high waisted styles, deep-v necklines, long sleeved
styles, hemlines at the knee, bubble skirts, and a lot of
layering.
Accessories Report: Boots, colorful scarves, sweater caps, and dare we say a poncho!
What’s Wearable: Most everything. Love the slouchy cardigans!
What’s Not Wearable: We’re not fans of the dark stockings–they make the looks older than they have to be.

When it comes to collars these days, it seems that Bigger is Better. Everything from sweater collars to blouse and jacket collars are expanding, so use the look to make your outfits more dramatic. Style Bytes predicts that the look will take us into fall, so if the weather gets cold, make like a snail and tuck your head into your colossal collar.

Key Takeaways: Nothing about this collection was dull. Loads of shine and asymmetrical patterns made this the perfect ending to the GenArt fashion show.
Color Palette: Black and white were prevalent, but not boring. Purple, yellow, red and blue were interesting diversions from the black and white.
Silhouettes: The whole enchilada: miniature booty shorts, loose summer shorts, deep v-neck stretch tops, belly-baring crop tops, sleeveless tops with frills at the ends, boatneck dresses with full skirts, and dresses with asymmetrical bottoms.
Accessories Report: Bright-colored and studded handbags. Sandals and pointy pumps adorned the models’ feet.
What’s Wearable: About 3 or 4 pieces were definitely street-worthy: a white boatneck dress with full bottom, a similar white boatneck minidress, a black studded loose dress, a v-neck black miniskirt.
What’s Not Wearable: Some of the color combinations might save you a spot on a "Fashion Don’t" list.

We are indeed referring to the same shapes you were sporting circa 1995. This time, though, the look isn’t just limited to dresses: Babydolls will be infiltrating everything in your closet from hoodies and jackets to tank tops. To pull this off without looking like you stepped out of the mid-nineties, keep the look to one piece only. Don’t be too literal–no canvas sneakers, bowties or stockings allowed. You don’t want to look like an overgrown Raggedy Ann.

Backyard Luau dress | $328 at Anthropologie
Malicious Designs Danielle dress | $200 at Stars + Infinite Darkness

Spring is here, and all is getting brighter…including
handbags. If you want to look spring-y, yellow is the perfect hue, for it is radiant, sunny, and not too serious. So go on, catch yellow fever or opt for a more mellow yellow.
Spotted by Omiru at Mr. Smith’s Nightclub, San Francisco.
The Look: Bright at Night!
