Starbucks in hand, Taylor Swift got into the holiday spirit by wearing red suede shoes recently in Tennessee. The rest of her look was decidedly more somber — long, black v-neck sweater, faded black jeggings, and a cross-body bag. Shop the shoes, and everything else, now.

Girls Will Be Boys: Get Your Androgyny On With Menswear-Inspired Looks

The menswear trend has already hit big — remember Leighton Meester's recent suit-and-tie getup?

The menswear trend has already hit big — remember Leighton Meester's recent suit-and-tie getup? OnSugar blog Dressing Up In Daisies tackles the trend and offers some super-chic options to help you get your androgyny on.

Lately I have been drawn to menswear inspired looks. I think it has something to do with my obsession with stylish men such as Johnny Weir and Brad Goreski. Or maybe it's just my fashion instincts predicting a trend for Spring 2011. . .

Either way, I'm becoming obsessed with little oxfords and blazers, and even fedoras and bow ties, too. Today I even bought a flannel button up and a striped sweater from the guys' department. Sometimes the girls' section simply just doesn't have what you need, and getting boyish pieces from the actual "boys" department is as authentic as it gets.

Ann Taylor Challenged Rising Designers to Modernize the Idea of Career-Wear

We're thrilled to present our favorite InStyle story here on Fab!

We're thrilled to present our favorite InStyle story here on Fab!

Ann Taylor took part in this year’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, which annually selects 10 rising designer finalists to compete in challenges to win a grand prize that includes $300,000 and a year’s worth of mentorship. For its part, Ann Taylor tasked the group with modernizing the idea of career wear for the Everywoman. While the CFDA announced the winner last month—congrats Billy Reid!—Ann Taylor just released photos of all of the designs, which include metallic cuffs, tailored trousers, and updated trenches. We hoped these 10 looks were going to be available in all stores, but a spokesperson for Ann Taylor confirmed that the one-of-a-kind pieces are instead going to be auctioned in January and on display in the company’s Flatiron District store in New York City. See all 10 rising designers' re-interpretation of workwear in the gallery.
