Mother's Day Gift Guide, Day 6: Tomboy

By the 1970s, women were finally minging with the boys in the boardroom—and borrowing a few fashion trends from their wardrobes, too. Lauren Hutton, notorious for wearing menswear in the '70s, favored pieces that were minimal and often safari-inspired. And then there was Charlotte Rampling, declared "The Sexiest Woman in the World" by Vogue in 1974, who favored a clean, menswear-inspired fashion trends that spanned the tuxedo chic of YSL and the equestrian prep of Ralph Lauren. But the woman who exemplified this look in our pop culture consciousness was Diane Keaton in Woody Allen’s '70s classic, "Annie Hall".  Both as Annie Hall on screen, and in her personal life off-screen, actress Diane Keaton's quirky take on ties, trousers and tweeds created a fashion trend. Like a perfectly tailored men’s suit, these pieces will never go out of style. Which makes thes Mother's Day Gift Ideas something mom can appreciate.
