Guys are always asking me to do more posts on men’s style and men’s fashion, so today’s post is dedicated to just that! Except… with a little twist. I thought, why not give a lesson today on how one of my ultimate fave men’s style and fashion and can be relatable to us girls as well?! Ladies, we’re always being encouraged to wear our boyfriend’s sweaters or our boyfriend’s jeans, but why stop there? As bow ties and suspenders have been on the rise for quite some years now thanks to heartthrob fashionistos like Chuck Bass, I got inspired for today’s look to throw a little bit of Blair Waldorf instead. Once I put this look and outfit together, I completely felt like I was the epitome of a little Miss Madeline— the ultimate Parisian schoolgirl. And as this post was originally supposed to support the arts and fashion of menswear and encourage you boys (or girls for your boyfriends) to wear more things like bow ties and suspenders… this kinda in return encouraged me more personally to want to incorporate them both more into my own life. Sorry Gossip Girl, you may have ended two years ago, but I’m bringing Blair back.

November 7, 2014Hi Laine,such a beautiful look, especially the skirt is so elegant.
Your outfit also inspired me to wear my new boyfriend jeans with suspenders. Since then I love them and wear them regularly. I am looking forward to seeing more examples how you incorporate suspenders into your outfits.
Thank you for encouraging me to wear suspenders!
