Okay, everyone. It’s menswear week. This is part two of a two-part Esther Quek theme. I like menswear-inspired looks independently from her fashion choices, but girl was revolutionary in the modern take on menswear. Bright, primary color suiting, fitted in a feminine way. It’s such a beautiful balance of men’s and women’s stylings, that is both professional and interesting.
Esther was doing this stuff like 5 years ago, so I’m coming a little late to the party. But, to be fair, I’ve been choosing menswear inspired fits for most of my life.. so who’s borrowing from whom, really?
I’d like to go on record saying I loved this theme. I had some very high-level meetings at the end of the week, so my Wed-Fri outfits are a little more stepped up than I would usually do it. Still managed to make them my own, I think.
What’s bizarre is that I actually own and regularly wear several men’s shirts. I chose to wear none of those this week, as I was going for truly feminine silhouettes, while borrowing outfit ideas from my well-dressed brethren (shout out to Connor, who I’d like to believe would appreciate these fits)
Monday
I loved this look. It’s cheetah print, something I never see on men in my office, but it’s such a masculine silhouette. I love it.

This was probably my favorite outfit this week. I really enjoyed the femininity of the pink contrasted with the black blazer and shoes.

Yes, this is a velvet blazer. It’s amazing.
