Givenchy

Borrowing from the boys has become extremely popular for female fashionistas — boyfriend jackets and blazers are widely considered staple items. This season, men get their chance to use and adapt women's wear in a neutral palette. The result? Some very odd androgyny that would make David Bowie proud.

 

Crop Tops

The hallmark of '90s it-girls is now being marketed to the boys. Calvin Klein, has tweaked the crop top and turned it into a sleek, sexy nod to athletic wear. However, its pairing with matching hot pants remains dubious.

 

Rompers

After being a summer staple for women in 2010, the juvenile, possibly creepy romper has made its way to men's runways. Dolce & Gabbana's striped version harkened back to 1900s swimming costumes.

 

Monokinis

Emporio Armani led the monokini trend this season, with pieces looking like they came from Lady Gaga's "Alejandro" video. While geometric cutouts can be visually appealing, this look seems better suited for Borat.

 

Lace

Lace was in nearly every fall women's collection. Givenchy has used a lace T-shirt as a layering paired with a daring white skort. A perfect outfit for tennis, perhaps?
