With the preceding decade emphasizing the beauty of boyish fig- ures and the power of the working woman, it was only a matter of time before feminized flapper dresses were replaced by a more empowering way of dressing. This initial movement was only the beginning of subcultures turning to fashion in times of social change. Fashion photography of the 1960s created “the Single Girl”, a young, mobile and independent woman. Influenced by the in- creasingly employed and empowered women of the decade, the Single Girl ushered out the conservative femininity of the 50s and increased sales of culottes, go-go boots and tight jeans. Two decades later, second-wave feminism was on the rise as was the politicized (albeit stylistically questionable) trend of power dressing during the 1980s Now, as fights for inter-sectionalism are at the forefront, menswear-inspiration is experiencing a renaissance. Don’t fret, shoulder pads have been firmly left in the past and 21st-century masculine staples have an “easy to wear” ap- proach. Pair them with feminine details for a soft look or demand attention by skipping the jewellery and layering multiple menswear pieces. TREND no. 1: 1 Trousers 2 While wearing slacks is no longer some- thing exclusively associated with men, this trend is inspired by the “boyfriend jeans” craze of 2010, with these trousers looking like they were taken straight from the men’s department.
