Little Brother - menswear that girls can wear too. Little Brother Stripe sweater and Duke chino (on both), Converse Chuck Taylor's (on Alyssa), Little Brother Mod parka and Converse Jack Purcell's (on Callum).
Older readers may remember that I did a similar post to this one – Little Brother menswear on both a girl and a guy. Newer readers – let me briefly explain:
For a long time now, I’ve loved wearing men’s clothes. I was loving it at age 11 when I was borrowing my brother’s old sweaters, at age 16 when I was raiding my then boyfriend’s wardrobe and I’m still loving it a good decade later. The only difference between now and then is that now I can afford to buy my own menswear. One of my favorite places to go for menswear that I can wear, is Little Brother. Their smallest pant size is small enough to fit my size 8 women’s waist, the XS button-down fits square on my shoulder and the knitwear is the perfect amount of oversized.
Little Brother is one of the few menswear brands makes clothes that look just as good on a girl as they do on a guy. It’s with that in mind that I originally came up with the idea for this shoot – visual evidence that Little Brother makes menswear that girls can wear too.
So, with the turn of the season and Winter ranges coming into store, I thought it might just be time to do this shoot again. Time to rustle up some models and show everyone how great the new collection looks. This time I took it outdoors, and with the help of my assistants (my brother, Maddy Budd and Lilah Merz) and my two ridiculously good looking models (Alyssa Hiyama and Callum Smith) we created, in my obviously biased opinion, some bloody great images. There are so many that I love that I can’t post them all here, so see my favourites below and for more of my other favourites, visit my photo blog. To see them in the flesh, look out for the latest issue of 1972 Magazine, available at Barkers stores nationwide.

Again, for more of these and some behind the scenes shots, see here. For a different angle, my brother has done a little post on what went on, here.
All Little Brother items are available (or will be very shortly) at Barkers store nationwide, or online here.
Love the clothes! The navy skirt Alyssa is wearing – where is it from please?
Re: Olivia – Thanks! The skirt is actually American Apparel.
I want that parka SO badly! Beautiful images and love the setting :)
I love Alyssa! And alas, I wish menswear looked as good on me as it does on her (and you).
AMAZING styling!
mmm nothing like a crisp white shirt
Barkers Newmarket have a very new full range of LB. But I haven’t seen those knits anywhere. where did you get them?
Re: Daragh – As far as I know, the knitwear hasn’t dropped yet. I imagine the full collection will be available in a month.
What size little brother pants is the girl wearing!? thinking about getting some!
Re: koey – I think she’s wearing the smallest size available, I think it’s a 76. I strongly recommend, as a girl, you try before you buy – men’s sizing can be tricky.
