One of the top trends for women’s wear this fall is the menswear look, aka schoolboy chic. This look pairs the sharpness of men’s lines with the sexy curviness of a womanly silhouette. I love it!
A few celebs have been rocking the look lately…let’s take a look, shall we?
Jennifer Lopez hardly ever goes wrong in my fashion book. In a recent NYC outing, she gave men in suits a run for their money with this look:
To get Jenny from the Block’s look, try these blouses from Banana Republic or To the Max
these vests from Costume National or Bloomingdales
and these trousers from Banana Republic or Theory
To elongate the legs and also save yourself from tripping over your fantabulous pant legs (falling is never cute), finish the look with some funky spectator shoes.
Rihanna has fallen under the spell of this fashion trend and was seen recently about the town in this menswear/school boy chic get up. She has become so stylish that you don’t even notice the “space boot” on her foot…
To get Rih-Rih’s get-up, try these tops from Diane Von Furstenberg or Bebe
or for the fashionista on a budget, this top from Forever 21
Try these vests from Express or American Apparel
And these jeans from Earl Sewn or 18th Amendment
Pair the jeans with either of these belts from Avignon
Top off the look with these newsboys caps from Diesel or this Forever 21.
Rihanna definitely has an affinity for caps. She is seen here along with Alicia Keys and Common all wearing caps from Common’ new line Soji. His new line launched this past January and has already developed an array of celebrity followers. Pass the hats, please! I’m not a hat person, but if Common chose to give one to me, I would surely accept (wink, wink, wink)!

A lil’ sumthin’ extra for my Common fans…
