We love new products, trends and tips but ever wondered about wearing them in real life? Each week we’ll take on a test drive, from the newest nail colour, to playing with perfume or seeing how long that hairstyle actually takes and share what we find (sweet, not-so-sweet and everything in between).

The inspiration: Some women dress for men. Some women dress for women. Some women dress for themselves. And then there are women who dress to repel. Since the launch of Leandra Medine's blog, www.manrepeller.com, she's managed to become a top source for inspiration for fashionable risk takers, but, we wonder, do the trends actually repel? We selected our favourite looks to test drive in front of a male audience, and boy, did they have an opinion.
The testers & trends:
Gabrielle, SweetLife editor, testing maxi skirts
Jes, SweetHome editor, testing animal prints
Madelyn, editor, testing puffy shoulders
Mia, assistant editor, testing the Canadian tuxedo
Samantha, assistant editor, testing "Birth Control Glasses"
Sarah, editorial intern, testing high-waisted shorts
