Androgyny Is Sooo Hot




Top to bottom, three icons of androgyny: Annie Lennox, David Bowie, and Grace Jones.

Each of these musicians were popular in the 80s, and they were part of a long list of artists who decided conventional depictions of gender just weren't cool anymore.

This sort of unisex style has mad a minor comeback recently as well. For instance, I work in a women's clothing store, and many young men have come in to purchase our skinny jeans. It's to the point where I no longer find it strange, although it is strange to walk by a guy wearing the same pair of jeans as me.

Also, it's become more acceptable for guys to rock some guyliner. That's just eyeliner for guys by the way, makes sense right? Rock stars like Jared Leto (singer, 30 Seconds To Mars), Pete Wentz (bassist, Fall Out Boy), Brandon Flowers (siner, The Killers), Billie Joe (singer, Green Day), and loads more, have been seen wearing sexy bedroom eyes for guys.

What about hair? I've seen way too many boys with hair prettier than mine lately. How to they get it to flip so beautifully when they toss their heads? It just isn't fair.

But it's not all just the fellas stealing the ladies' looks. Tailored suits cut in men's style, and cropped jackets paired with high-waisted pants that play with the female figure, are very trendy this fall.

The brightside:
  • You can stay at your boyfriend/girlfriend's house and not worry about lacking a change of clothes in the morning, because they already borrowed your pants!
  • The same goes for makeup. Just use theirs.
  • Office uniforms can be even more uniformed. Everyone must wear the same pants, jacket, and collared button-down shirt. Perfect for the company that wants everyone to look the same... although, I'm not particularly fond of that. Individuality people!
Where can you find it?
Wherever your significant other shops, now you guys can actually have fun shopping together! Or for some nice women's suiting, check out Express. They also have a sweater called "the boyfriend sweater," coincidence? I think not.
