These Girls Can Hang With the Guys at Men's Fashion Week

If we never borrowed from the boys, we wouldn't know just how cool brogues could look with our jeans or how to perfect topping our outfits with baseball caps. That's the beauty of menswear — anything they can wear, we can wear, too. So while the men's shows were under way in Paris, Milan, London, and Florence, we've been taking notes and keeping a close eye on the street.

Just like our own Fashion Week, theirs is rife with inspiration to steal from the street style pros, both well-dressed men and women who've shown that a love of bright color, camo print, florals, and sleek outerwear that is taking global street style by storm.

Between the shades and the combat boots, the message is clear: this is one tough girl.

Something so infectiously girlie about a pink coat, no matter what's underneath.
