This look immediately stood out to me when I spotted this Fashionisto on campus. I couldn’t help but notice the bold fashion move he made in styling his chic plaid pants. He decided to take his plaid pants to the next level by pairing them with a bold pair of red hot sneakers. The combination of the slightly more sophisticated pants with a pair of hip, laid back kicks creates an eye-catching statement. I find the contrast between the cultured, gentlemanly appeal of the plaid pants with the sporty, almost skater aesthetic of the sneakers incredibly intriguing. And pairing the two statement pieces together is definitely a fearless fashion move. If there’s one thing that this outfit proves, it’s that taking a bold style risk can pay off tremendously.
He toned down the rest of his look to let the bold plaid pants and red sneaker combination do the talking. He paired a classic black button-down with the pants and layered a cool gray hooded sweater over it. The hooded sweater works to emphasize the sort of sporty, athleisure style of his sneakers. It creates a very hip, fresh look.
This Fashionisto accessorized with a golden pendant necklace, a Love Your Melon bracelet and a couple of statement rings. I was really drawn to his golden “Coston” ring. The ring represents his family name. He borrowed this ring from his father who acquired it while he was in high school. Cool ring, even cooler backstory.
