Street Style Friday - Best of Women's Tailoring

Continuing our series on street style, this week we check out the latest inspiration within women's tailoring where a resurgence to traditional masculine silhouettes remains evident on the street, now updated with twists on structure, fabric and details worn in an overtly feminine way.

Traditional Prince of Wales check continues to make a bold statement, worn in double breasted masculine silhouettes for jackets and overcoats and teamed with shirts and ties for an androgynous look. For those fearful of the head-to-toe look, style with plain bright colours to present a fresh take. Feminine accessories including clutches and jewellery also remain key for this look.

One noticeable trend currently seen across street style is the layering of two sports jackets/blazers over one another as an alternative outerwear option to coats. Keep colours similar making use of tonal shades and ensure a looser 'boyfriend fit' style of jacket to keep the look understated.

Shorter cropped jacket - the key piece in any wardrobe - worn either casually with jeans or in a more formal setting with tailored trousers acts as a great foundation for outfits. Look for softer tailoring in luxe velvet for a rich almost vintage feel, whereas structural shapes and collarless details provide a more minimal aesthetic for modern power dressing.

More street inspiration soon!
