STYLE ADVICE: A Dash of Spring

February 6th, 2017 at 2:00am

The weather in North Carolina can be quite confusing at times. It could be snowing and below freezing on Monday and by Friday it could be sunny in the mid-sixties. When it comes to living in a place with such mixed weather, planning outfits for the day ahead can be difficult. You want to dress warm because it is still winter time, but you do not want to be excessive because it feels like spring. This Fashionisto has managed to create balance in his outfit. He fights off the wintry breeze while managing to stay comfortable in the warmer weather.
This Fashionisto was spotted walking to class on a particularly warm January day. Many people were seen around campus wearing short dresses and shorts without having a jacket on, which can only lead to those people getting sick. People tend to forget that even though it is warm outside, it is still winter. Despite the warmth of the day this Fashionisto kept the true season in mind. In the pictures he is seen sporting distressed jeans and a black cardigan. Underneath the cardigan is a simple light blue T-shirt. To complement the shirt, he has a matching bandana around his dreads. On his feet are some simple, yet stylish tan tennis shoes. To accessorize he has a gold watch on his wrist.
This outfit works so well for the weather because it is warm enough to work for a cool winter day without being too warm for a spring day. The cardigan provides warmth against the wintry breezes while the distressed jeans allow a ventilated feel so that he is not too warm. The light color of his shirt and bandana fit with the spring vibe because they are pastel colored. The tan shoes provide a neutral tone to the outfit.
My advice for dealing with flip-floppy weather would be to find a balance in your clothing like this Fashionisto did. Pick pieces that work well in either season. Do not forget what the actual season is and make sure to stay warm because winter weather is no joke. However, it is okay to indulge in and enjoy the bursts of spring that occasionally occurs.
