There comes a time for the fashion forward gal to put away her tomboyish things: the worn to death denim, tees, and sneakers for every day. A love of androgynous dressing, however, can carry on long into the job market and dating scene. Tough tailoring, take-no-prisoners kicks and other menswear touches give the classic tomboy attitude a chic, grown up twist.

Fall fashion is all about layering, and the menswear style for women trend is happy to accommodate. We’re talking dashing blazers, overcoats and even casual bombers as homage to the bad boy in your life. Taking a cue from the guys when it comes to cozy toppers is a guaranteed simple and stylish upgrade to your fall wardrobe. Don’t be afraid to splurge a bit on these pieces: outwear is how you introduce yourself, and a perfectly cut coat is always in style.

Whether you fancy a print or a solid power color, there’s no doubt the oxford button up is a must have for dressed up or down menswear-inspired cool. There’s something effortlessly empowering about this simple, crisp shirt that we cannot get enough of. We’ll be pairing ours with collegiate looking cable knit sweaters for cider sipping, and loosely tailored wide leg trousers for that big presentation.

Indulge your accessory addiction with shoes and baubles with a butch bent. Loafers and lace-ups ruled the women’s wear runways, delivering chic and comfy footwear alternatives to our oft-contorted tootsies. Outsized, masculine watches replaced dainty and glitzed up lady’s looks, and ties stood in for scarves and necklaces. Haberdashery isn’t just for the guys, anymore, lucky for us.

Man up, ladies! Why should the boys have all the fashion fun?
