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”
