are you a lover of men's wear?....

Let me start by saying this trend is not totally new.....so if as a female follower of fashion, you were to bask in the afterglow of the recent international menswear shows, that light would be tinted pink. Petal power in the form of blush-coloured suiting at Jil Sander, Versace and Marc Jacobs mingled with midriff-revealing knits at JW Anderson and waist-cinched jackets at Louis Vuitton.

The feminine influence over menswear has reached covetable new extremes, for their easy-going, boxy cut. While Saint Laurent's skin-tight trousers, layered necklaces and floaty Sixties scarves verge on sassy. Subscribing to Hedi Slimane's particular take on "unisex" offers the freedom of an alternative uniform: match your skinny leather pants with a boyfriend's or swipe his Beatnik jacket from the wardrobe and why not?

Equally popular, if less dishevelled, is JW Anderson's arty boy/girl style. His un-gendered designs made a double appearance during the recent run of menswear shows: first, under his eponymous London label, and then in Paris where his debut collection for historic Spanish fashion house Loewe showcased identical looks on a modern couple, their gender almost impossible to call.

The ultimate guide to unisex dressing, however, came from Mrs Prada, who delivered a high fashion version of "his 'n' hers" - Fifties denim cuts and workaday sports jackets worn in sequence by first male, then female models.

There's never been a better time to borrow from the boys. Just note: there isn't a baggy "boyfriend" jean in sight.
