I'll say it. Tom Ford is an American designer who is dreamy, flawless, and I want in all of his pants. Not in any sort of weird, unnatural way, but in a please strip down naked so I can run off with your clothes kinda way. Tom Ford is an institution. And he knows it.
But even better than than Tom Ford (and such a thing exists) is my complete appreciation for his creative brain and his ability to design flawless masculine wear for women that still keeps a feminine edge. Even his men's suits are tailored close to the body with playful patterns, that to me inspire interplay with androgyny. It shows us that the possibilities are endless. MOC (Masculine of Center) women can be inspired by the color combinations, the fabrics, the respect this man has for suit wear. In most cases, it's flat out Tuxedo porn. So come away with me ... this slideshow is inspirational.

Hope you leave with some creative ideas! Yes, relatively speaking Tom Ford is expensive, but keep in mind a cheaper jacket that you pay to have tailored will give you the effect you're looking for. Hit up Norstrom Rack. Visit one of these lesbian friendly tailors and bring in photos of these suits. Don't be afraid of pattern. Be inspired to look outside of the traditional black and white tux. Add a bolo tie. Wear an ascot. Be you.
In All Things Tomboy,
