THEY go by the name man repellers - fashion trends which only women can appreciate. And they've come to a chain store near you.

From wedged sneakers to leather track pants, this season's styles are more about comfort and pushing the boundaries of taste than impressing the opposite sex.

Since appearing on the runways of Isabel Marant, Phillip Lim and Celine in recent seasons, androgynous clothing such as beanies, drop-crotch pants, sneakers and loose knit jumpers have now found their way onto Sydney's streets.

They've been championed by everyone from Rihanna and Miley Cyrus to Cara Delevingne and according to local retailers, Australian women can't get enough of this comfy fashion either.

"Beanies are flying out the door, particularly the slouch beanie, plus anything with a leather-look," said Sportsgirl trend forecaster Leigh Hawkes. "I think these styles have become popular here because we have that laid back attitude to fashion and it's also a lifestyle thing.

"Aussie girls know how to wear these styles with attitude."

Top styles at the moment include elastic-waist pants, logo-emblazoned fleece and knit jumpers, onesies and sneaker styles and brands such as Witchery, Bonds, and Topshop have begun incorporating the trendy designs in their ranges.

Char Alrich admitted she dressed to impress other women more so than men.

"I dress totally for women," the 21-year-old Point piper resident said.

"Some people say the track pant is the new Ugg boot but every woman likes to be comfortable and on trend at the same time. Gone are the Juicy Couture tracksuit days though; it's more about a cool top, some nice slouchy pants and some nice footwear."

Student Rebecca Boyd-Bias, 23, said while there were a few styles, such as the Isabel Marant wedge sneakers that she liked, she preferred a slightly more feminine look.

"From a boyfriend perspective I think they secretly like it but if they're going to take you out for dinner they'd want you in a nice evening frock," she said.

Sporteluxe fashion blogger Bianca Cheah advised women incorporate these pieces sparingly into their looks.

"If you're going to wear a track pant to say a lunch, make sure you pair it with something more structured like a blazer and heels," she said.

"Women shouldn't use the trend as an excuse to look slobby."
