grew up thrifting and i think it cemented my love of menswear hahah. pretty much all of my button downs (other than silk) are men's shirts - i just always prefer how they fall!! also wow love that first massimo outfit w/fisherman sandals 💗
Ye yes yes! Love me some soft masc styling. Also feel like menswear in general, you can be more subversive with it since there’s still so many weird rules in play. I will ALWAYS prefer men’s summer shirts to women’s. So chill and vibes it’s a shame we still gender them tbh.
I mean, as a longtime chic-crusading raider of the men's (and occasionally boy's) section of shops, we women always do it better in menswear-inspired looks! 😄
Ooh I love the word picture of poison because it captures the element of grit/wrongness. I’m glad to hear the menswear inspiration is strong in MY inspiration (YOU!).
**opens Massimo Dutti app to check men’s section**
Right?! Like perhaps that’s where I’ll be shopping from now on.
Great post Kelly! x
Thanks Jenny 🫶

I think anyone who thrifts has an inherent appreciation for men’s because their button downs/blazers and (if you can fit) shoes are top notch!
yes whenever i find tiny men's shoes i am over the moon haha!
I love a good menswear moment!
I'm obsessed with this take!
I’m obsessed with you for reading!!
I love this!! Thanks for breaking this down so well!

AGREED! We just need button down shirts that aren’t men’s or women’s.

You are part of my tribe, I see 😉 we really do!
Had that same thought about the loafer!
Loafer does not equal chill (the rest of the outfit needs to do that if you have a loafer on).
