I am also drawn to just those sort of inspiration pictures. The jacket with the bootlegs is a great combination and the perfectly tied scarf really adds that special touch of artistry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-70s-menswear#post-1471219 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 02:32:42 +0000 Anonymous 1471219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know pretty much nothing about 70s menswear, but I love how this feels like a really unexpected combination, yet still totally like you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-70s-menswear#post-1471215 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 02:27:37 +0000 catgirl 1471215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, this outfit is now fighting your mod one for top fave.&nbsp; I know you like to feel feminine, but to my eyes you ARE feminine and this androgynous dressing suits you (pun intended) just perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-70s-menswear#post-1471208 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 02:23:24 +0000 Beth Ann 1471208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You keep hitting home runs, even with a travel wardrobe!&nbsp; Kudos to you, Suz!&nbsp; Hope you get sunshine for those flares tomorrow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-70s-menswear#post-1471116 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 22:48:57 +0000 Caro in Oz 1471116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab looks Suz &amp; ha, I have both those photos in my inspiration file :)</p> <p>I love your distinction between "...menswear&nbsp;<b>inspired&nbsp;</b>vs. mannish." That is why I love Armani. He took mannish&nbsp;jackets relaxed all the tailoring,&nbsp;put in softer interfacing&nbsp;&amp; made them work better on women.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-70s-menswear#post-1471106 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 22:40:00 +0000 Diana 1471106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the juxtaposition of masculine and feminine here, in both your version and the inspiration.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-70s-menswear#post-1471061 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 20:55:21 +0000 Alassë 1471061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another great representation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-70s-menswear#post-1471052 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 20:34:17 +0000 Sveta 1471052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit Suz but your self-analysis is what takes the cake for me.<br />Nothing beats knowing thyself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-70s-menswear#post-1471037 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 20:08:16 +0000 Sharon 1471037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is GORGEOUS! I think the earrings and glasses add a touch of the dramatic to the femininity of the blouse. I have been&nbsp;leaning towards skirts this season, but your Dress the Decade outfits have been so helpful to me in seeing how to incorporate the feminine into menswear styles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-70s-menswear#post-1471032 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 20:03:35 +0000 approprio 1471032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great interpretation! Those YSL pics really anticipate what happened in the 80's, which is not really a surprise when you think about it. Le Smoking was around 1966 but it expresses something we usually think of as 70's fashion.&nbsp;</p> <p>And when you said 70's menswear, I was half expecting to find you wearing a kipper tie and&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://tomandlorenzo.com/2015/04/mad-style-severance/">Roger Sterling's new moustache</a>. I am relieved to find you're not.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-70s-menswear#post-1471028 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 19:56:44 +0000 deb 1471028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this look!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-70s-menswear#post-1471027 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 19:54:19 +0000 rabbit 1471027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing! &nbsp;You look so sharp and sophisticated, but with the feminine touch of the bow. &nbsp;A &nbsp;smashing&nbsp;version of your inspiration photos. &nbsp;</p> <p>I hear you on menswear. &nbsp; Prior to the 1920s there were a lot of menswear looks that I loved (Victorian riding coats with tall boots?), and I loved the 'influenced by' menswear of later decades (Marlene Dietrich? &nbsp;Patti Smith?). &nbsp;I'd kind of love a menswear challange. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-70s-menswear#post-1471010 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 19:36:44 +0000 Anonymous 1471010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Suz, I love this! You really have to get out and about in this (once the rains go) Sans earrings of course. So YSL and so now too. Love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-70s-menswear#post-1471008 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 19:23:35 +0000 rachylou 1471008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did the floppy bow! Fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-70s-menswear#post-1470988 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 19:06:47 +0000 Tanya 1470988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this, Suz. Gorgeous bow and perfect only separates. I also like it a lot with the earrings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-70s-menswear#post-1470987 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 19:06:18 +0000 harmonica 1470987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SOO FAB!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-70s-menswear#post-1470985 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 19:04:36 +0000 Deb 1470985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the pussy bow with the earrings! So fem from the prince..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-70s-menswear#post-1470982 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 19:03:00 +0000 Angie 1470982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOOHOOOOO</p> <p>Killer. I love the look with the dangly earrings actually. Without them - you are right - straight back into 2015.&nbsp;Perfect neck bow - and a gorgeous feminine touch. &nbsp;VERY '70s.</p> <p><b>LOVE.&nbsp;</b></p> <p>Bonus points for fun pose. Well done.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-70s-menswear#post-1470980 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 18:57:18 +0000 Suz 1470980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit (which I cannot wear today due to travel and <b>POURING</b> rain) is my nod to 70s Yves St. Laurent menswear. It's also an "ink out" look</p> <p>GAP Long and Lean jeans (flares on me)<br />Reiss jacket in ink<br />Ann Taylor silk blouse in navy<br />Zara booties<br />Hipsi belt<br />Earrings from Israel -- they are my nod to boho<br />Fossil sunnies.&nbsp;</p> <p>Interesting note: I removed&nbsp;the dangling earrings for Pic 2. All it took to make this feel less "costume" and more wearable today was the switch up of those earrings. The dangles plus the bow feel like too much for my personal style sensibility. </p> <p>Another interesting tidbit: I find that -- whatever the decade -- I have a strong tendency to gravitate towards the menswear inspired looks of that decade. In searching pins, those are the ones I typically veer toward. OTOH, those looks are always "softened" with femininity -- they are menswear <b>inspired </b>vs. mannish.&nbsp;That is a great lesson in terms of where and how to refine my current style.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am &nbsp;really enjoying this challenge for the opportunities it offers to learn things like that. Thank you, Angie!&nbsp;</p> <p>The inspirations are YSL runway looks from the mid-70s.</p> <p> </p>
