STYLE ADVICE: Color Me Happy

January 26th, 2017 at 2:00am

The power of color is a beautiful thing. When someone simply understands the colors that work best with their skin tone and hair color, all bets are off. I came across this look the other day and couldn’t help but notice it. I was completely obsessed with the suede, brown jacket and how nicely it paired with her red hair, as well as the style potential of an easy transgression from day to night.

As college students, our weeks become jam packed before we even have time to look at what day it is. With various group meetings, multiple homework assignments, and the constant stress to build our resumes, students tend to forget the importance of appearance. Everyone has those days where putting on a cute outfit and a dash of makeup is the least of their worries.

But because of our crazy schedules, we sometimes don’t even have the time to go home and change before a night out. That’s why when I saw this look on campus I jumped at the opportunity to show it off as the perfect example of a day to night outfit.

For starters, the color combinations for this season are to die for. The cream turtleneck under the brown suede jacket are two colors that work well throughout the day. They both follow a neutral pallet that keeps the look sophisticated from day to night. By pairing both with a dark wash jean and booties, you are ready to go from the classroom to a night out.

It’s important to remember to keep your look simple and comfortable, stray away from bold prints and excessive accessories. You want to keep your look more mature, which is exactly what this look achieved. In the end, keep in mind what colors work best for you. Because nothing screams confidence like a college girl who can do it all and look fabulous at the same time!
