What is the one item/outfit you love seeing women wear?

Chunky winter knitwear, like a poncho or wool jersey, I find it so attractive, especially when layered. 

Which menswear item should women introduce into their winter wardrobe?

This one is tricky, most winter wear is unisex, but I would say a tracksuit. I don't really see a lot of women wearing them and I would love to see women incorporate it and make it sexy.

What is the one item/outfit you love seeing women wear? 

I am living for a beautiful woman in a great coat right now. It must be long. It must billow. It needs a cute trophy bag either dangling from the elbow or slung across the chest. Thigh high boots for extra slay factor are optional. You need to be true to yourself - that’s what’s really beautiful.

If you’re not already living that shirt life, please google British VOGUE’s Sarah Harris and have a little cry. Who gave her permission to look so simple and beautiful? 

Rusty Beukes, fashion director at GQ Magazine

What is the one item/outfit you love seeing women wear? 

There's just something about a woman in a thigh high or a sock boot that says, "I'm living large".

Which menswear item should women introduce into their winter wardrobe?

Definitely a double breasted blazer or even better, the whole suit.

What is the one item/outfit you love seeing women wear?

A beautiful pair of stilettos. Yes, I know they kill your feet (or at least that’s what I’ve heard), but I do believe this classic design is absolutely timeless and an essential item in any woman’s wardrobe. They look fantastic on all women, even if they’re eventually kicked off underneath a desk when no one’s looking.

Which menswear item should women introduce into their winter wardrobe?

I think a nicely tailored waistcoat worn over a blouse, with or without a jacket. Not that women haven’t already conquered and perfected this historically gentleman’s garment already! 

Come to think of it, perhaps women should give men’s winter undies a try - a pair of comfy fitted briefs can definitely warm you up in winter... Just a thought.
