At a small, southern school like Washington and Lee, the campus is dominated by traditional, preppy style influences. This week’s Fashionista gives her own take on a classic preppy print—argyle.
This Fashionista proves that argyle is not just for school uniforms anymore. She creates a clean, fresh, and classic look with just three simple pieces: a pink, gray and cream argyle sweater, navy blue corduroy pants and tall brown leather boots. This simple look will work perfectly for your next class presentation or internship.
As this Fashionista demonstrates, argyle is a playful way to add some color and print into your wardrobe. Her bright pink sweater livens up the rest of her more neutral ensemble, creating an interesting contrast against her navy blue corduroy pants. The corduroy pants add more interesting texture to the look, while the tall brown boots round out this polished outfit.
To put a modern and age appropriate twist on this trend, we should all take notes from this Fashionista and choose bold-colored argyle to pair with neutral colored pants and shoes. Other fun argyle color combinations to add some prep to your winter wardrobe include capri blue and navy or red and gray.
How To: This perfectly preppy look is super simple to recreate. Try an argyle sweater, cool corduroys or crisp jeans, and riding boots. Layer the sweater over a chambray shirt for an instant update. Or, for a more toned down take on the trend, slip on a pair of argyle knee-highs with your riding boots. Pair with an A-line skirt and a sweater to put some prep in your step.
