"Borrowing from the male wardrobe is hardly new - menswear fabrics like
tweeds cross over into women's wear every few seasons. But the
prevalence of mannish jackets represents a real shift from the girly
dresses dominating runways in recent seasons - and may be a sartorial
signal of something more. Judging from fashion history, masculine
styles often signal a moment when women are looking for clothes that
assert authority."
