The theory that opposites attract is true in love, life and probably most importantly, fashion. Taking pieces that shouldn’t go together and making them work creates something that is completely new and interesting. Your choice of opposites to combine is endless, but a fun place to start is with structured masculinity and delicate femininity. There are no rules that say you can’t reach across the style spectrum and mash two opposing ideas together, so take what you like and wear it how you want. After all, it really is just two sides of the same coin.
