Masculine style is modern and the woman daring to adopt it is not afraid to express her sensuality. The masculine-feminine combination can reveal a chic style of the one wearing it. Every woman should have in her wardrobe a few masculine items.

The key element of masculine-feminine style is, without any doubt, the blazer. If you choose a boyfriend blazer, you can add a feminine touch to the outfit wearing a soft, silky shirt, a pair of high-waisted carrot pants and a beautiful necklace.

What do you say about wearing a boyfriend blazer with a mini ruffled dress? You'll look stunning and extremely feminine, especially if you complete the outfit with a pair of high-heeled sandals. For a night out or for a special evening event, think of matching a black boyfriend blazer with an uber-feminine, lace dress and peep-toe shoes.

When it comes to the boyfriend blazer, one can only think of its versatility that allows you to create a multitude of fashionable outfits. You can match it with denim shorts or a ruffled mini skirt, and a basic t-shirt, and high-heeled sandals. For a casual, daytime look, replace sandals with a pair of derby shoes. Accessorize your outfits choosing clutches or satchel bags. A sequined blazer in a more masculine cut can be easily matched with a pair of skinny jeans, a simple, white t-shirt and high-heeled shoes.

On the other hand, if you go for a feminine blazer, you can choose a masculine shirt. A masculine shirt can be matched to a pair of high-waisted pants or to a skirt. You can also wear a masculine denim or cotton shirt over a t-shirt, and match everything with skinny jeans.

Another important masculine element is the vest, which can be worn with elegant pants, shorts and even with a skirt, as its versatility allows you yo adapt it to any outfit. For a rock look, match a masculine vest with skinny jeans, tank top, fringed boots and a scarf. High-waisted pants, a vest and a feminine shirt can be the perfect combination for an elegant, office style.

If you love wearing masculine outfits, you should add some femininity by choosing different accessories, such as big earrings, a colorful scarf, or a clutch. Try going for strong colors, even neon ones. On the other hand, if you are more into the feminine style, opt for masculine accessories, like a hat with a retro feel, a pair of derby shoes, or tougher necklaces that can bring a chic touch to any outfit.

If you choose a masculine tank top, match it with a short full skirt, a long necklace, a pair of high-heels and a sequined handbag. Make sure you choose a sexy, feminine hairstyle and a discreet, natural makeup.

We cannot forget to mention the popular boyfriend jeans. You can wear them matched with feminine pieces or you can keep the masculine style. Pair them with shirts, tops and t-shirts, and also cardigans or blazers. As for the shoes, you can go for high-heels or flats.
