Toss your corsets out the window and embrace the new androgynous silhouette. The La Garçonne look has entered woman’s wardrobes and is not going away anytime soon. The new desired figure is flat, straight, and simple. The La Garçonne look is youthful and boyish. Belts should only be worn at hip level to make sure there is no emphasis on the waist. If you really want to be the cat’s meow than you must chop off that complicated upswept hair arrangement for the newest craze in woman’s hairstyles: the bob. The bob is very similar to a man’s haircut. It is very short with small barely noticeable waves. For that little hint of femininity add a feather boa and a few bright accessories.
 * Androgynous**:

Her name is Coco Chanel and if you’re //really// the Cat’s Meow you should only be seen in her new designs. Chanel has completed a strenuous task and combined comfort, simplicity, and elegance. She has created a clean, comfortable, and very sleek silhouette borrowing shapes and fabric mostly used in men’s clothing and underwear…how divine! Her cardigan suits and jersey dresses are for the woman ready to pursue an exciting and active lifestyle.
