STYLE GENDERS

For many generations, we have seen men and women take on each others role. Whether it's a female being a single parent and taking on the role of a "father" or a male who is a fashion designer, hair stylist or even make-up artist. Luckily, this generation doesn't have the mind set that society had once before. Although, one of the biggest controversies is in FASHION. We see so many heterosexual males wearing fitted jeans/pants, tee shirts, more jewelry and even make-up! As for the women, so many trends such as menswear inspired looks, oxfords, boyfriend blazers and even boyfriend jeans have given women the opportunity to "cross over". But, this raises the question, Does style have a gender anymore? Are we taking these trends too far or is this just another way of expression? I mean, fashion is JUST fashion, right?

Celebrities such as Kanye West, Pharrell, Chris Brown and Lil Wayne have all be spotted wearing the skinny jean trend. Lil Wayne has even received some negative feedback for many of his ensembles, in particular, a pair of leopard print skinny pants (As seen above). Some may say that dressing like this is feminine while others may argue that it's stylish and  unique. But is it still considered dressing like a man or woman? Or is it just fashion? Hmmm..

Many female celebrities have also been spotted rocking the menswear inspired looks. Celebrities such as Beyonce, Rihanna, Lisa Ray and Gwen Stefani. Some may say it's sexy and shows strength, while others argue that women should be soft, feminine and dress like ladies. Is this a fashion statement or a personality and ego booster ? Think about it1

PRINCE

One of the first people to introduce the male to female fashion statement, was Prince. Prince is a musical veteran, selling millions of records and topping the record charts constantly. Although, Prince is known for his amazing talent in music and acting, he's also known for his one of a kind fashion statements and overall appearance.

Suitable for both male and female. This may be in fashion, sexual identity or even sexual preference.

So, is this JUST fashion or something Bigger ?
