Steal Her Style Part 2

As I said in the last Steal Her Style post I was going to do this feature in two seperate posts, one for Casual Mens Wear and one for Red Carpet/Black Tie/Night Out Mens Wear. So here is part 2.
I chose Janelle Monae for a few simple reasons, firstly she rocks Menswear as her signature style. She doesn't do casual, it's red carpet, uber stylish always. Secondly it is such a high fashion look that I can only do it justice by using someone that is Style through and through.




So here's my picks to replicate her style

Asos Tailored Contrast Lapel Cropped Tux Blazer
E65.60
Asos Fitted Shirt E14.43
Asos Linen Tab Detail Wide Leg Trouser E39.36

Alternatively if you don't want to go all out you could team the jacket and shirt with your staple black skinnies or a little more dressy with a pair of leather look leggings. You can also substitute the plain white shirt with something more you, like a white silk blouse or vest.
The outfit above Blazer, Shirt and Trousers can be all tied together nicely with the following neck tie. 

Asos Chiffon Bow Neck Tie E10.50
Asos MARKY Mono Leather Lace Up Brogue E45.92

To rock it just like Janelle team the outfit with a pair of large stud earrings in a black, gold or white, just like is shown in the pictures above. The House of Harlow 1960 14ct Yellow Gold Plated Sunburst Button Earrings are fab.

So what do you think, are you Man enough to rock this style? Do ya'll like Janelle Monae's personal style?
That's it for now with Menswear, next trend....Urban Sport/Utility

Who's wearing it like a man

With this trend I find it only fitting to put together a play list of supa tunes to listen to as you scroll through the pictures. (Jessie J do it like a dude EXPLICIT)


 For the Menswear trend I have compiled a list of Celebrities to give you a better idea of what it is and who's wearing it. For Red Carpet Syle these celebrities have gone for the full on Tux/Mens Suit look. This is a great look when it's a real red carpet event or for us mere mortals our Saturday night out.

Janelle Monae has chosen for the menswear look to be her trade mark style and rocks this trend throughout her public appearances and any media/photoshoots she does. Even giving a ballet tutu her menswear chic edge for The Atlanta Ballet Presentation of "big" by Antwan "Big Boi" Patton in which she also performed.

When translating this trend to your daily wardrobe, unless you are a fashionista through and through rocking red carpet style on the runways of the Dublin streets on a daily basis, then we need to dress this style down slightly. Taking cues from the celebrities daily style gives us a better idea of how we can rock it.

I will follow on from this post with the best highstreet finds from this trend, how to accessorize, A Steal Her Style and for this trend I will do 2, one for dress up and one for dress down and also a must have piece from this trend and 5 ways to wear it... Ya'll enjoy!
Any feedback is really appreciated and if any of you have any ideas let me know. Also if there is any one celeb that you love rocking menswear, that you would like to steal her style, hollar at me :)
