Chameleon Soul x Bonobos

Suit Jacket: Vintage
Leather Joggers: Forever 21
Bandeau: Urban Outfitters
Shoes: Nike 
Glasses: DIY

Menswear in womenswear was quite the rage at the most recent New York Fashion Week. Iconic fashion names like Public School, Rag & Bone, and even J.Crew featured androgynous looks on the runway with models strutting around in masculine silhouettes and oversized outerwear. In celebration of all the cool girls wearing boy clothes, I snagged this vintage suit jacket from my dad's closet and teamed it with a bandeau (a la sports bra + blazer street style inspo), leather joggers (holla Kanye), and Nike running shoes (cuz sports shoes are still in for the season). I know I said that, as a former competitive athlete, I'd never wear running shoes in a non-running setting, but then I wrote an article on Nike Frees for work and fell for the trend. Because my ensemble still felt a bit bare, I plopped on my former 3D glasses that I popped the lenses out of. I usually hate how I look in glasses (which is why I never let people take photos of me when I'm having a glasses day), but these ones were so weird and worked with my outfit so I made an exception. That being said, this is probably the only and the last time you'll see me in glasses on my blog because I really do look super derpy in glasses and get all self-conscious in them. 

If you're inspired by this blogpost and feel the urge to give menswear a go, Bonobos has a great selection of sharp suit jackets here. They recently emailed me about their upcoming Fall 2014 Men's Suit Collection, which features signature Italian wool suits, charming tweed blazers, and well-tailored tuxedos. The suits come in standard and slim fits, and short, regular, and tall sizes. If wearing men's suit jackets and blazers is too daring for you, then you should still take a peek anyways for the dudes in your life. Whether it be your dad, brother, or boyfriend, a man with style is always warmly welcomed, so Bonobos would be a great place to lurk for birthday or early Christmas presents. I mean, if television has taught me anything (cough cough Chuck Bass cough Barney Stinson), it's taught me that you can never go wrong in a high quality suit. So check out the Bonobos Men's Suit Collection. Now.
