Boy meets Girl...again.

The day when dandy met girlie, and boy met girl in fashion goes all the way back to Coco Chanel's era. Sure thing, the designer's modernist thought, menswear-inspired fashions, and pursuit of expensive simplicity made her an important figure in 20th century fashion, but it seems like our 21st century designers now acknowledge that every independent and free-spirited woman possesses at least one or two key pieces that border the masculine. After all, power suits and brogue shoes no longer only flatter men. They have the gift of empowering a woman's allure, helping her sense of confidence while being confronted with the hustle and bustle of the city life.

These days still, the dandy turn on masculine fashion takes the streets by storm. Building upon elements already big in past seasons, such as the oversized blazer, tuxedo trend and military fashion, the female dandy is part Beau Brummell, part Oscar Wilde, and at times a touch of Coco Chanel. One iconic element not to forget this season: the studded biker boots slyly alleviate a strictness that may be emanating from this look. And if you can't do with those, a little messy bun will playfully outdo your clean-cut look to make you look oh so effortlessly cool.

In sum, the female dandy exemplifies girl power with a touch of rebellion. What do you say? I say... let's rebel!
