STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Back to the Basics

Style Advice of the Week

Sometimes, less is more. If you want to stand out in a crowd, you don’t always need to wear a flashy outfit to grab others’ attention. Mixing basic clothing items together can create the perfect outfit that’s both comfortable and fashion forward. I spotted this Fashionisto walking to class in a simple and well-fitted look. His look caught my eye because it was neat, went together nicely and described him well: a simple, fashionable guy.

This Fashionisto created his look by putting together the most basic wardrobe essentials, jeans, a T-shirt, a jacket and sneakers. His varsity jacket is what stood out to me the most. It was basic yet different because of the all black style. Usually, I see people wearing varsity jackets with flashy colors, but this all black style gave him a classic look that was well put together. He matched his jacket perfectly with black leather Vans sneakers. This Fashionisto knows that black goes with everything yet he buys basic wardrobe essentials that are unique by choosing black leather. He is a true Fashionisto!

Achieving this look is easy and encourages you to complete your basic essential wardrobe. The part that will take some effort is finding basic items that have a twist, like this Fashionisto did. For instance, instead of just choosing a plain color, choose items with a different texture or fabric. Remember, it’s always wise to purchase items that go with multiple outfits so you get the most out of your money.
