The Masculine Trend

A strong trend we identified for this year for women was the masculine trend, with stores like Gap introducing "boyfriend" collections and the fall runway shows featuring masculine touches in the form of tweed fabrics, leather jackets, blazers, and studs. This trend includes slouchy cardigans, oversized T-shirts, blazers, military jackets, and cuffed jeans that could've been stolen from your boyfriend's closet. The look is comfortable and casual, but feminine details keep it from being frumpy. The following are examples seen on the fall 2009 runways and in mainstream retail store lookbooks:
