"Since women borrow from men's wardrobes all the time, that men should borrow from women is, arguably a trend overdue", so wrote one of my favourite fashion writers, Laura Craik, of Burberry's AW14 menswear show in The Times. It's a brilliant observation and one that is particularly fitting in a week when it was not just Burberry silken scarves repping womenswear on the men's catwalks. There were also dresses (long and kaftan-like) at Christopher Shannon and Craig Green plus handbags and high heels at J.W Anderson. Aside from these obviously "feminine" style references though, there were so many clothes on show at LC:M which would make a woman just as happy as a man that it sort-of became the week in which girls-wanted-clothes-made-for-boys-inspired-by-girls. It's enough to make you think that there will surely be some point in the future when fashion is whatever sex you want it to be. In tribute to this, here are seven of my favourite looks from LC:M chosen because they would look gorgeous no matter what your sex.
1. E.TAUTZ
Incredible coat and genius copper/ red sheen combo.
2. JONATHAN SAUNDERS
A cricket jumper for winter and jazzy trousers
3. RICHARD NICOLL
Untucked shirt = way to break up the polish. Lovely shade of pink on the trouser stripe.
4. AGI & SAM
What a chic suit! Especially the flared crop of the trousers.
5. SIBLING
This year's Christmas jumper sorted already
6. NICOMEDE TALAVERA
Sporty, sci-fi sharpness from the Fashion East newbie.
7. J.W ANDERSON
Scruffed up sleeves and giant bangles look like a modern kind of elegant. Bag is very Celine.
