7 Menswear Inspired Street Style Looks to Lust after ...

The top part of this look (the button down and tie) is clearly menswear inspired. But the bottom half, with the lemonade yellow pants and heeled sandals, is feminine. I love the combination of the two. The belt adds a final element of manliness, while the super cool shades complete the feminine vibe.

This look uses basic wardrobe pieces, making it simple and classic. The shorts break up the outfit a bit, adding some girlie appeal. The shoes are more masculine, but don't make this girl actually look like a guy, which is key to any menswear inspired look.

The most unique thing about this outfit, if you ask me, is the suspenders. They're so subtle, but they really add depth to the look. I love that the button down is sheer and more feminine, but the pants balance out the look with some masculinity.

When I look at this outfit, I see Minnie Mouse, thanks to the red, white & black color combo. And really, the only thing that gives this look a menswear feel is the bow tie. Both men and women can wear white button downs, jeans and converse shoes. I do like that the pop of red with the blazer adds some life to this outfit.

This look has elements of men's style in more ways than one. First, it uses pieces like trousers and a fitted v-neck sweater that are common among men. Second, those pieces are in neutral colors that most men wear. And yet, the shoes and pretty girl downplay the manliness of the ensemble.

My favorite part of this look is the mixing of stripes and plaid. The vest is super cute, and the combination of blue and white looks classy. Without the vest, the outfit would look more masculine, but it's still a great way to do a double print.

Here's another look using double stripes, but in this case, the pieces are different colors. The lace heels give the look a hint of sexy, and the tucked in shirt ups the fancy factor. The shirt, while definitely a menswear inspired piece, looks really nice with an open collar. That extra bit of skin showing keeps the womanly vibe going.

If you're feeling like you need a break from the girlie part of your wardrobe, put together some menswear inspired pieces and add one or two feminine elements. You'll make men all across the globe envious, and you'll inspire other women who need a dose of dude in their wardrobe. What pieces would you use to create a menswear inspired look?
