Fashion Today- What women can learn from menswear

"Borrowing from the boys" is one of those fashion clichés we've never quite understood. But, having wardrobes full of unisex pieces doesn't mean men and women think about fashion in the same way.

Without being too essentialist about it, adopting a dude-like approach to fashion can lead ladies to some pretty major clothing revelations. 

Don't be afraid to have a signature look.
Rachel Tutera, the designer behind Bindle & Keep, a New York-based bespoke clothier for men and women, explains the appeal of a signature look: "I wear Levi's 508s or navy khakis every day with a blue or chambray shirt and Timberland x Woolrich boots. It feels really good to have an aesthetic.

Sometimes I wonder if having a uniform makes me look boring — or like I don't bother to change clothes. But, then I realize it's so representative of my identity and taste that I don't care what it makes me look like, because I know it makes me look like myself."

Don't think of a uniform's lack of variety as a bad thing — think of it like you're creating an indelible image that people can recognize for miles. Isabel Marant's slouchy tops and skintight pants or Kate Lanphear's blonde crop and black suits prove that minimal variety can make for maximum impact.
