The tomboy trend continues apace for Spring. You saw it in the
plethora of
pantsuits, and it surfaced in some of the active sports
references to linebackers and latter-day Jacques Cousteaus. But the
crisp white men’s shirt will always be the easiest (and, for us,
coolest) way to get the look.
Giambattista Valli topped a fanciful fringe skirt with a
utilitarian button-down, and
Limi Feu whipped an oxford into wildly oversized proportions.
The tuxedo shirt, meanwhile, was reimagined by Nicolas Ghesquière
at
Balenciaga and Phoebe Philo at
Celine, among others. “A tux shirt on a girl always looks
great,” says
Rag & Bone’s Marcus Wainwright. “It has the obvious
connotations…girl in boyfriend’s/husband’s/one-night stand’s shirt
the morning after a black-tie ball. It’s very James Bond.” That’s a
good enough reason for us to button up. What about you?
Check out the slideshow and tell us whether or not you’ll adopt the
trend.
