A mostly-tough look gets a little femme from a gray ruffle blazer.
I love mixing girly and tough elements. All-out girly usually isn’t my thing (one of those trends I love on everyone else, but then never seem to reach for when picking out my own looks), but I do dig some femme features here and there. A great case in point: a boxy + retro gray glen plaid blazer with a few cute ruffles as afterthoughts. This gray ruffle blazer is so 80s, right? Moonlighting, for sure. A pair of roughed-up black jeans (raw hem and everything) with my favorite snakeskin pumps were a good match. I kept the rest of the look simple, just throwing on a trusty pair of Ray-Bans. (As if you’d expect anything else.)
Shop the look:
I actually sized up in this gray ruffle blazer in order to really get that cool retro vibe. I’m thinking it will also work over a sheath dress or with cigarette trousers and a blouse for office outfits.

These ruffles are the perfect touch! This jacket would have been totally menswear inspired but with the pockets, it’s a fun mix of feminine & menswear!

I am the other way round and can often be too girly when it comes to my styling. A blazer like this would be a great way for my to toughen up my style a little but still keep some girly touches š x
This is gorgeous – I love the look and it’s perfect for those in between days when it’s not too warm and not too cold!!
Beautiful! š
