LET’S HEAR IT FOR THE BOYS: Shades of Cool

Let's Hear it for the Boys

There are a few timeless looks, styles and brands that never seem to go out of style no matter what the era. This Fashionisto has managed to incorporate nearly all of them at once.

For starters, his sunglasses — Ray-Ban Wayfarers — are the epitome of timeless chic for both men and women. The black lacquered shade and traditional framing he has chosen truly emphasize their classic appeal.

Moving downward, this Fashionisto has chosen to wear a Levi Brand Jeans trifecta, featuring a light denim jacket, a button-down with mother-of-pearl button snaps and a pair of black denim pants.

Since the peak of their fame, Levi Brand Jeans has been clothing men and women in functional, stylish and economic garments, which this Fashionisto seems to favor. The appeal of their garments stems from simplicity, which most men tend to gravitate towards when it comes to basic outfit construction.

However, what keeps this outfit from being average is the color palette. The darker shades, focused on the bottom in the black jeans and the brown boots keep the ensemble streamlined, while the blue hues and texture on the top half keep the audience interested.

Another important aspect of this outfit lies in the details. The mother-of-pearl button snaps (as mentioned previously) and the delicate pin-stripe of the shirt add the small touches necessary to make this button-down much more unique than your traditional styles.

Hint: What gives this outfit its classic appeal are its timeless elements. To recreate this look, or other ageless looks, your best bet is to reference the past. I recommend using online search engines to generate photos from your favorite era, or delving into a relative’s old photos. There is bound to have been a fashion forward relative somewhere in your family!
