However, I will admit that I've never been a big fan of boy-meets-girl style. So, I'd like to get a few more opinions on the issue by offering a few examples that showcase the different aspects of this look.
In London, designers such as Paul Smith somehow found out to make menswear cute, as you can see in the following pieces.
He also brought a bit of retro flair to his collection, envoking a 1920s and '30s feel by taking a simple suit jacket, adding feminine details such as the bell sleeves, and pairing it with a velvet dropwaist dress.
However, this baggy style was questionable. It doesn't seem like it would flatter many figures other than stick-straight model types.
Balenciaga's Prefall 07 collection gave us a sneak peek of a different type of menswear- a more straight-laced, military-inspired version. 
In New York, Marc Jacobs also harnessed a bit of a vintage feel with this simple suit ensemble. [I might also add that, as usual, he uses color very well here]
Overall, this style is pretty straightforward. For the most part, it involves clean lines, expensive fabrics, and a can-do attitude.
So what do YOU, the readers, think? Is this type of style street-worthy? What looks do you love? What looks do you hate? Let me know!
