The Mannish style: strength, emancipation and femininity
The world of fashion is changing, as are the needs of modern women. If you're a woman between the ages of 35 and 45, you probably juggle work, family, appointments, and a social life every day, and you know how important it is to feel confident and refined without wasting time.
The Mannish style was born from this very need: a perfect balance between masculine rigor, femininity, and freedom of expression . And with the right touch of Mannish Glamour , it becomes the ideal choice for those who desire emancipation and personal style on every occasion .
Origins of the Mannish style
The term mannish , literally "for men," originated in the 1920s when women began wearing reinterpreted men's clothing : blazers, trousers, and tailored shirts. It wasn't just fashion: it was a gesture of emancipation , a way of communicating strength, independence, and authority.
One of the symbolic figures of this style is Coco Chanel, who revolutionized women's clothing by introducing men's garments adapted to women's bodies and personalities.
Today, the Mannish is more contemporary and sophisticated: clean lines, masculine volumes balanced by feminine details like high heels, bold jewelry, and precious fabrics. Several film and fashion icons have made this look famous.
Cate Blanchett has often appeared on the red carpet in elegant men's suits, mixing sartorial rigor and sophisticated femininity.
Anne Hathaway , in films like The Devil Wears Prada , showed how oversized blazers and cigarette trousers could be glamorous and contemporary.
Tilda Swinton made the androgynous style iconic with minimal yet bold outfits, perfect for those who want a powerful and distinctive look.
Victoria Beckham has transformed the men's suit into a symbol of everyday elegance and modern femininity.
These examples demonstrate that Mannish is not just a style choice, but a language of power, confidence and femininity .
