Dude looks like a lady: How to make the menswear trend work — day or night

If you've been paying attention to fashion this fall, you may have noticed a growing menswear theme. This striking look is easy to pull off day or night. My favorite way to rock the menswear trend is to trade out the cocktail dress for a smashing suit and sultry accessories. Don't be just another dress at a party this holiday season. While a black suit is a definite go-to wardrobe staple, there's nothing cooler than a bright white pantsuit, especially one with an eye-popping black lapel like this blazer by A.LC. (1) . To encourage a little intrigue, wear the blazer over a sexy black lace bodysuit (7) , but be sure to button the blazer as to not give away the whole story. Keep the look relatively monotone with silver and gray accessories. My picks would be these killer Edmundo Castillo pumps (8) and this funky tweed clutch by Alexander McQueen (2) (which are both on sale, by the way). For hair and makeup, go for a messy bun, cat-eye black eyeliner and a bright red lip. "Flamenco" by NARS (4) is a real show-stopper and guarantees you'll be the center of attention. Finish it off with some subdued jewelry like these pretty drop earrings by Made Her Think (5) and this saturn-inspired ring by Tom Binns (3) .
