STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Back At It Again With The (Gray) Vans

April 1st, 2016 at 2:00am

Hey pretties! Now that spring has sprung bust out those shorts, dresses and always remember to embrace those pale legs! Just like the seasons change and bring new beginnings, new trends on social media influence how we get up and get dressed each day. Between coping big celebrities styles to even Instagram famous personalities it was seems to come from this idea of wanting to recreate the latest trend and be apart of it.

With that being said, I’m sure by now you’ve heard of the “Damn Daniel,” video that took Snapchat by storm. Between seeing this phenomenon on Ellen and the millions of recreations on every social media platform imaginable it had a huge influence. Since seeing the snaps I thought it would be interesting to catch Fashionisto’s on campus following this trend.

This Fashionisto took the simplicity route to achieve this look by wearing a basic shirt and pants to create a style worth talking about. Since this look is easily recreated with staple pieces in any wardrobe the style has the potential to flatter all body types and occasions. What makes this look stand out is the coveted pair of Vans. Now, this Fashionisto did use some authenticity and broke away from the white Vans and fashioned himself with a gray pair. This Fashionisto used basic color schemes and strong masculine pieces like a leather watch and a crewneck T-shirt. If social media has taught us anything Fashionistas/os, is that trends fade and slip into non-existence, but this style has been a classic for some time and is not going anywhere soon.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Keep it simple.”
