Are you looking specifically for masculine dress or just pants/trousers? It is possible to wear trousers and have a vintage look.

I guess it depends what era you like. Coco Chanel was considered very masculine for her time and started off by actually wearing men's clothes.

Here is a thread on men's shoe styles for women: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=27113

Hey, it's a start anyway! I thought there were some other threads here that touched on this topic, but I can't seem to find them.

No thread of this nature is complete without mentioning Katharine Hepburn.

I take much of my work wardrobe inspiration from her.

MissHannah: Yes, I am and thanks just wanted to say I love your username...my name is Hannah too!

Miss Neecerie oooh I totally forgot about her thanks for the reminder

kamikat I am looking for both. I tend to lean towards trousers beacause I feel...iffy, for want of a better word, in a dress. Although sometimes I do dress a little more girlie!

Do you know what look you want? Wartime 40's, with wide legged trousers and overalls or 50's with skinny leg capris?
