Fall fashion trends for 2008 have arrived in stores in full swing, and the hottest new trend in women’s fashion right now is Menswear!  Adding a masculine feel to your feminine wardrobe this fall is a stylish way to update your look.

What’s the best way to play around with the menswear trend?  As with any new fashion trend, you want to avoid going overboard with the “latest thing” and fit your new style into your budget.

Here are 3 easy and inexpensive ways to wear Menswear this fall:

Great menswear inspired shoes for fall.

It makes me weak to even post these pictures.  Seriously.  I am dying to get my hands on a pair of these shoes.  I’m imagining them with skirts and jeans and sweater dresses, and craving a hot beverage inspired by a pumpkin.

The best part?  Target has 20 different “menswear” shoes to choose from, all for under $30!

A Perfect Pair of Wide Leg Trousers

This style is flattering on a variety of body types and they’re beautiful with this season’s new shoes!  A word to the wise when shopping for wide leg trousers – be aware of proper pant lengths! I’m amazed how often store web sites feature great pants at the wrong length.  (Psst – the ones above should be longer.)

Old Navy has a variety of trouser pants starting at just $20.

High Waisted Pencil Skirts In A “Masculine” Pattern

Ironically, the “menswear” trend is all about highlighting your femininity.  That includes a high waisted skirt that accentuates your womanly curves.  New patterns are also showing up on skirts – from plaids to argyle.  Of course you’ll want to balance all of this style on bottom with a simple, solid top.

Charlotte Russe has great skirts right now in a variety of shapes and patterns for fall – also under $30!
