Wearing:
Leather Jacket – Zaliah | Wide Brimmed Fedora – Khirzad Perth | Slouchy T Shirt – COS Stores | Aidan Boyfriend Jeans – J Brand |
Brogues – RMK Shoes | Antigona Tote Bag – Givenchy | Earrings – Rue Gembon | ID Bracelet – Porter Lyon

I need extra digits to count the number of times I’ve gotten my outfit inspiration from Grease – that leather biker jacket, white t-shirt and worn to death jeans combination gets me every time. I’m speaking, of course, of those up turned collar, slicked back hair and pitch black sunglasses T Birds boys, who make me want to dress like a boy all day long. There’s so much epic coolness ripe for the stealing from the boys, and here are just a few of my favourite menswear inspired styles.

The leather biker jacket

Ever heard that a leather biker jacket can change your life? Well it’s absolutely and unequivocally true. And talk about versatility. Juxtapose masculine and feminine by throwing a leather jacket over a summer dress, or go for edge with a pair of jet black jeans. Hardware detailing and quilted panels are essential, both of which are eloquently articulated by my leather biker jacket from Zaliah.

The fedoras

The fedora is old world glam made new world edgy, a contextual quirk that makes the fedora a menswear inspired accessory that takes any outfit to the next level. There’s no need to approach this item with caution because the fedora simply needs to be thrown on as you’re rushing out the door. Mine is from Perth boutique Khirzad (on Kings Street).

The brogue

Why is it that comfort is a key consideration in men’s shoes, yet for women discomfort is practically a job description? Well, we can always steal his shoes. The menswear inspired shoe is preppy and rock chic rolled into one. For spring, nonchalantly slip on a pair of brogues with your denim shorts or mini dress. Even better, go double menswear inspired by adding an androgynous trench coat.
