Comme des Garcons.

TREND: Girls dressed in boys clothing.

Lately I’ve been noticing a lot of girls dressed in boys clothing. And although it’s certainly not a first as far as historical trends go, it’s the first time this self-proclaimed-non-fashionable-Cali-guy-New-York-transplant has noticed it and so I’m writing about it history be damned. This time around the androgyny seems to be manifesting itself in many different ways. Take a look to see what I'm talking about.

Personally, I think it takes a lot of confidence to pull a boyish look off. But when it's done right, it really looks great.
