One of my favorite, if not my all time favorite look in everyday and runway has got to be the androgynous look given in a male and female perspective. Although this rule only applies if done right, and not coming off looking too gaybar. I love the way I look at some Burberry ads and see a young man, probably in his late teens/early 20's, dressed in a pinstripe suit who happens to have the delicate features of a woman, but the questionable body stature of a man. We see it more and more often in everyday fashion culture, men wearing ultra-skinny jeans and fitted shirts, women wearing over-sized clothes and accessories giving terms like 'the boyfriend watch' and the 'grandpa sweater' new meanings in women's style. One esteemed English model, Agyness Deyn comes to mind when I think of the androgynous look done right for once, and not looking borderline transgender. She maintains a fun, 60's punk vibe and can manage to flip a script, instantly transforming into once being the face of Giorgio Armani. It's no wonder the gigs she gets when you take a look at her breathtaking features, that can easily be given the androgynous look with a spritz of moose, a conservative top, and a cig stuck between her lips for that attitude element. It's become the new black for men to have that certain...flair nowadays, go figure.
