Tough Femininity
Embracing feminine pieces while staying true to my style
I’ve avoided overly feminine pieces for a while, but with the recent Gucci resort show, I found myself drawn to elements that are missing from my wardrobe
The mix of leather and lace, the florals, the romantic blouses—it’s the perfect combination of tough femininity.
Styling, textures, and proportions are important when adding a feminine touch to your look—for example, adding a blazer and chunky loafer to a feminine dress, a leather jacket over lace, or a romantic blouse teamed with vintage denim will add the much-needed edge I crave.
“It’s about adding femininity back into my wardrobe, but with a twist”
“Embracing a more feminine look of florals, lace and silk, but adding chunky loafers, a leather bag and statement jewellery to create that tough femininity balance”
