One of the biggest styles that I saw over and over at New York Fashion Week this year was menswear inspired. I think it's such a fun style for any woman to try, and today I've teamed up with Zappos to share two ways to wear it.

1. Boyfriend jeans and heels. I love the look of boyfriend jeans paired with heels, and for this look I took it a step farther and wore them with a white button up -- another piece that feels a little masculine.  I've tried a lot of boyfriend jeans over the years, and this pair is my absolute favorite. They're so comfortable and are perfectly distressed (I have a tutorial on how to patch the thigh hole if you need it).

I paired them with these velvet heels that I had to have the second I laid eyes on them. They're stunning and so great for fall, and make a statement with this very basic look. I added a large, simple bag and some funky sunglasses, and feminine/masculine outfit number one is complete.

2. Sneakers and a dress. If you've read my blog or followed me on instagram for the last year or two, you know how obsessed I've become with sneakers. They're an absolute closet staple for me. I wear them with everything, including dresses, because I love the mix of masculine and feminine that it creates.

Typically I choose shorter dresses to pair with my sneaks, but this midi dress looked so great with my velvet superga's that I just couldn't say no. Add a leather jacket for a little bit of edge, and you have one of my favorite outfits ever.
