I'm sure we are all familiar with the term 'androgynous' right?! If not, here is a quick definition: "being neither distinguishably masculine nor feminine, as in dress, appearance, or behavior." So, vocabulary lesson done, now I'm sure you're wondering how a concept as ambivalent as this can be translated into fashion. The androgynous look is centered around well tailored and structured garments that mimic men's clothing, most popular being the classic cut and fitting tuxedo. The separate pieces that make up the full tux look in this case are purposely tailored with a dose of femininity so that they can fully flatter a woman's body but still have a masculine element to the outfit, hence ANDROGYNOUS!

Kudos to Miss Janelle Monae, singer, songwriter, dancer and performer for whole-heartedly embracing this daring look and adding heaps of her own unique and vibrant personality to it as well!Oooh, I jus love her!
