There is nothing sexier than the vision of a woman wearing a man's garment, whether an old cardigan, sport jacket or oversized tee shirt. With women such as Janelle Monae, adding femininity into masculine garments is gearing most girls into their daddy's closet. I love how their personal flair can add such character to a gentlemen's piece, creating a masterpiece.
The Key to accomplishing this, is to select items that are unique in design, color, texture and detail. The fit of the garment can always be addressed with a proper tailored experience. You should also take notice in the items you pair with the garments ( shoes, bags, and jewelry ). This will help with the feminine appeal of the outfit. The last thing you want to do is look like a man. Below are two women that executed this look well.

Now ladies be very careful, the shoulder pads could make the suit very much masculine and be attentive to the shoes that you choose. But overall, this look has such contrast and Im expecting more women in the men's department.
