![]() ![]() ![]() Or there's a certain type of straight guy that we're really into. We are lesbians, but there's always been something about Sara and I where there's a certain kind of straight girl who's really into us. Which is ironic, because I see you both with longer hair right now and my thought is, "Hmm, do I want to grow out my hair?" Tegan : Sara and I always say that we're not just lesbians. If you had said to me at 22, "What is your silhouette going to be for this album cycle?" I would have been like, "Go fuck yourself, that's my silhouette." But I don't think I would have been able to arrive at this place if I hadn't gone through that stage where I was thumbing my nose at the whole idea of femininity and stylists and clothes. It feels good to me sometimes to be really feminine and to go to a shoot and get super glammed up. Sara: But I also can go back really quickly into that feeling of freedom. The asymmetrical haircuts and the mullets and this and that. Tegan: We had some pretty hilarious looks. Though sometimes I cringe at some of the early decisions we made-you know, some of the haircuts and stylings. I had long hair down to the middle of my back, and when I graduated from twelfth grade, I went straight to the hair salon and shaved my head, bleached my hair.

And it's like, we have more in common with you than we have with anyone else."ĭid you think at the start of your careers you would ever be discussing silhouettes? Sara: No. Sara: It's funny that you say women influencing men, because Tegan and I have always taken a lot of our cues from menswear. You always seem to have the coolest shoes, the coolest hair, the coolest clothes. It's a big moment right now for women's looks influencing how men dress-there's Phoebe Philo, Kristen Stewart, Eunice Lee, you guys. We caught up with the sisters ahead of the release of their eighth studio album, June's Love You to Death, to talk about the impetus for their style, their music, and the many levels of crossover between men and lesbians. And while raiding the closets of our female counterparts isn't our usual m.o., just look at their clothes! Exhibit A: Their music video for "Boyfriend," which shows off some drool-worthy vintage tees paired with bomber and leather jackets.
