Side parts are nothing new, but they have taken a drastic turn on the runway this week. Our favorites were DKNY and Rodarte, which proved you can take the trend the feminine or masculine route.

DKNY models sported soft deep side parts with the hair grazing over the forehead. This is a great alternative to side-swept bangs that take more of a commitment. The models on the Rodarte runway took the trend even further by starting the side part at the ear and creating a diagonal part to the crown. This look definitely has a more masculine feel to it.

What do you think of these bold side parts? Do you prefer the masculine or feminine version?
