Watches are valuable. They are a good investment. With so many awesome women’s and unisex watches, there should be more women wearing them. A watch shows your success, power, and sophistication. It doesn’t have to be big and bulky. It doesn’t have to be masculine.

Suit Jackets

Suit jackets have become a popular look for women. It used to be seen as a masculine way for a woman to dress, but things have changed and are continuing to change. A woman can wear a suit and be perceived as feminine and powerful. A suit jacket is a great look if you want to go for something a little less traditional. Do you have a meeting coming up? What about a corporate gathering? A mixer at one of San Diego’s hottest social event? A dinner with upper management at the seriously posh Steak 48 in Del Mar? Whatever the occasion is, there are plenty of suit jacket options that can be the perfect thing to wear. Whether you go for a whole suit or just the jacket, you can create a powerful look worthy of respect.

Jeans

Of course, women wear jeans. They tend to wear them on casual occasions and on weekends. Jeans can be worn by women in many more situations. Nowadays, there is no end to the number of different styles and cuts that you can get for a pair of jeans. There are low-waisted and high-waisted. There are skinny and boot cut options. There are tight jeans and baggy ones. It doesn’t matter what your style is, there are all kinds of jeans that will satisfy women everywhere. If you are tired of skirts, dresses, and revealing shorts, invest in some high-end jeans that you will love.

Belts

Belts are worn by women in a different way than they’re worn by men. Often a women’s belt is just for style. It is worn above the waist as a sort of accessory. While this is a good look, women can also tuck their shirts in and present a belt for a dapper appearance. This may be perceived as more masculine, but who says that? With a button-up shirt, jeans, and a belt, you can look feminine. There are so many ways to wear a belt, why do women stop at the same few styles? Embrace the belt as a high-end item worth wearing.

Women’s clothing is dynamic. Women can look good in all kinds of styles and looks. So often what women wear is limited by societal expectations and standards. Whether you want to look feminine, masculine, androgynous, or somewhere in between, there are so many great fashion items for women to wear more often. Fashion is about style and perspective. Think outside the box and create outfits that please you. Also, go to unique boutiques like wonderfully funky shops in Bird Rock or Point Loma. With so much focus on gender, sex, and identity, one thing has become clear. People can wear whatever they want to wear and look great!
