LET’S HEAR IT FOR THE BOYS: Classy in Maroon

Let's Hear it for the Boys

Who needs fashion models and design inspiration when we have a stylish crop of students walking around Queen’s campus everyday? 

Walking with ease and confidence, this stylish student is wearing the perfect fall shade of maroon jeans, a dark jacket from H&M, classic oxfords from Aldo, a light blue button-up and rocking some serious sunglasses on this sunny Kingston day. His statement pants are definitely the star of the outfit but the pairing of the light blue denim shirt was a wise decision. It is always commendable when a stylish street-goer is able to mix and match colors without going overboard.

It seems that maroon and burgundy are making huge waves this season, as we find these shades of color on all things wearable—from jeans to scarves, handbags to lipstick. Maroon and burgundy are the perfect colors to transition from fall to winter, with varying shades available in styles for all men and women. Take inspiration from Valentino’s spring 2013 collection or even go outside your comfort zone by wearing a full armor of maroon. 

To lighten up your look, pull together your outfit with neutral colors of beige and camel. For example, a classic khaki trench coat courtesy of Burberry or a camel colored knit circle scarf to protect you from the wind!

Hint: As far as shoes ago, matching them with your belt is a rule of thumb. This will help keep the flow of your outfit consistent and tie together your look so that there aren’t too many things going on at once.
