This duvet cover was perfect for my guest bedroom...not too feminine or masculine. I do have two complaints, which aren't too big of a deal, but thought I should mention. 1) The duvet is very wrinkly when it comes out of the dryer and 2) the shams are very small and tight on my standard pillows.  Definitely not a deal breaker for me, but if this set was for my master bedroom, I would be a tad disappointed.  The duvet is made with cotton, which was a MUST for me...especially after sleeping with a duvet made of polyester.  Make sure you check what duvets are made of when researching! Polyester is rough and not at all luxurious or comfortable feeling on skin when you are in sleep mode.
