# Masculine Booties The Provensen Debut Collection Brings Manliness to Feminine Footwear By Meghan Young | Published 2010-05-12 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/provensen-debut-collection References: [stylebubble](http://www.stylebubble.co.uk/style_bubble/2010/05/ma-surry-hills-shoes.html) & [provensen](http://www.provensen.com/) I'm definitely all about the masculine fad that is overtaking women's fashion right now and the Provensen debut collection offers the prefect footwear to complement this design direction. Offering a cross between [workwear boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wolverine-and-cat-footwear) and [sleek dress shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flex-oxford-collection), the line is still [feminine enough](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity) to work with almost any style a girl may want to try this summer. Founded by Aussie Faye, the Provensen debut collection also manages to look comfortable without sacrificing...well, its look. I particularly enjoy the pops of unexpected color in a few of the designs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Masculine Fashion:** The rise of masculine fashion in women's wear is an opportunity for brands to create innovative designs that combine traditionally masculine and feminine elements. - **Comfortable Workwear:** The emergence of comfortable workwear is an opportunity for fashion brands to develop clothing and footwear that combines style and comfort for professionals who prioritize both. - **Unexpected Color Pops:** Unexpected splashes of color in traditionally neutral clothing items can add a unique and eye-catching element to fashion designs. ### Where This Applies - **Footwear:** The Provensen debut collection of masculine footwear that complements feminine summer styles indicates an opportunity for fashion brands to develop unique and stylish footwear designs for women. - **Fashion Retail:** The trend towards comfortable workwear and unexpected pops of color in clothing presents an opportunity for fashion retailers to offer unique and innovative options to consumers. - **Fashion Design:** The trend towards masculine fashion in women's wear provides an opportunity for fashion designers to create gender-fluid and boundary-pushing clothing that appeals to a wider range of consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Western Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naked-wolfes-stark-boot.md) - [Luxury Men's Footwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-mens-footwear.md) - [Western-Inspired Statement Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melissa-x-maldito.md) - [Festival-Ready Footwear Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo.md) - [Blockish Tread-Covered Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mschf-24-boot.md) - [Western-Inspired Americana Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/out-west-collection.md) - [Unique Footwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-fluevog.md) - [Coastal Beach-Inspired Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voile-blanche.md) - [Modern Sophisticated Footwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flex-oxford-collection.md)
