A rainy day.

   From my opinion, women wearing oversize or neutral style outfits look even more atractive than the slim ones. I remembered when I watched Coco’s documentary, she said trousers and long skirts are the most elegant items. As the first fashion designer who designed trousers for women, she shows how amazing and elegant the women could be in neutral outfit. I have to admit I am quite obsessed with neutral style, especially the old fashioned gentleman’s look. The cut of men’s suit was a little bit loose during 30s, that’s the loveliest thing to wear, don’t you think so? Be a handsome but attractive woman is my new aim. This look paid tribute to Coco and the icons of women’s neutral style-Katharine Herburn & Marlene Diretrich.

  ps: It is rainy all the time in Berlin now…

    I love this look! There’s no label to my style, I always wear what I like whether girly, vintage or men’s inspired. I agree too that a woman who can pull off menswear is just as elegant and attractive, perhaps sometimes more so. =)
    Some day I’d love to have my own three piece suit, topped off with bow tie and perhaps a top hat or bowler hat.

    There are SO many lush colours in your outfit, I love how surprisingly well they go together, from your pants to your wedges to your coat. I think it really helps that you wore a grey coat to hold the colours together. Thanks for sharing your inspirational photographs and you look quite happy despite the rain (:
