Androgyne
I think you can pretty much guess why I named this "androgyne" huh? The electric blue masculine shoes and the white shirt make it understable paired with the gold cuff and feminine lace vest make it understandable! But really I think it's because when you look close into it, you see that every particular item is androgyne on its own. Take the shirt for example : at first glance, it's a typical white shirt which you would totally see on a man with a tux. But take a closer look and notice the sleeve lenght and detail. Isn't that just so much more classy? And the lace vest : totally girly (maybe even oldy) (I'm not quite sure if "oldy" exists but you know what I mean). But who wears vests in the first place? Men! So the lace, even though it covers the whole piece, is just a feminine detail. And the gold cuff reminds of those things men put on their shirts' sleeves you know? In french they're called "manchette" but I have NO idea what they are in English. The shoes too have both a masculine AND feminine feel. The gladiator vibe toughens the heels and the electric color reminds me of spring and flowers (and withough being sexist of course) which make me think of a woman's smile. And finally (DRUM ROLL PLEASE) the master, central, most important piece of the look (dadadadadaddadam) THE SHORTS. Ahh yes, now these Alexander Wang shorts have got us talking haven't they? They're super feminine (laced up, bow, and they're SHORTS you know so the feminity part doesn't really need to be justified) yet totally masculine! The fact that they're in black leather (personally I think it's like a wink to bikers and their usually hot chicks) toughens up the whole thing and really de-feminises them.
I'm rather proud of this look :)
