Elena Miro dresses and skirts

Here’s a slight break from the day wear inspired by menswear. Here I’m exploring Elena Miro’s dressier looks for Autumn ‘08. I really like her use of shimmery fabrics and fuzzy knits (or is that fur? If it is, I hope it’s faux). I’d wear every last one of these looks.

So let’s talk about the [...]

Polyvore set: Menswear #3

Here’s another menswear inspired outfit. The influences here are a little more subtle and the overall feel is softer. The top has some pintuck detail at the bust that reminds me of a tuxedo shirt. The waistcoat worn open adds another color to the look and the bag, though metallic, is not over embellished and has clean lines.

Feist Is Feeling Menswear Too!

Feist must’ve gotten the memo that it’s Menswear Week here at Fatstylist! She appeared last night on the Colbert Report showing us her take on this week’s theme. She performed wearing a suit inspired outfit. She simply accessorized her dress shirt, vest and slacks with an awkward but stylish chunky red tie. Although her frame [...]

Menswear for day time

I really do dig menswear for women. Can you tell yet? I especially love menswear for plus-size women because it translates nicely. Lapels and woven fabrics fit nicely on our frames. You can see just how well it works with what Elena Miro designed for their Autumn 2008 collection.
These day looks are very strong in [...]

Polyvore set: Menswear #2

For this menswear inspired look I thought I’d do a summer outfit. To create a masculine look, this set mostly relies on the watch, glasses, shorts and hat. The white banded v-neck top and red flats both signal touches of feminine detail.

Polyvore set: Menswear #1

It’s back to the basics with this set. Taking a cue from our menswear theme this week, I decided to put together this black and white combination. I think the watch makes it decidedly menswear, but there are masculine touches throughout– like the no-frills bag. The scarf, worn around the neck, is a relaxed version of the tie.

This is a man’s world

For the last couple of seasons, and especially the coming Fall 08 season, menswear has ruled as a source of inspiration for many runway looks. Elena Miro’s ready-to-wear collection is no exception. I first learned of Miro while reading Too Fat For Fashion and was instantly won by the designer’s love of masculine foundation but [...]
