STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Canadian Tuxedo, Eh?

September 17th, 2015 at 2:00am

“If you have the confidence to work something, then everyone else will think you can too.” I don’t remember when and where I was when I was told this quote, but it has stuck with me ever since. What struck me was how true the words were: only you can decide your limits of fashion and what you dare to wear.

This week I wanted to focus on a huge trend right now: the Canadian Tuxedo! This jean-on-jean look has been around forever, but its up to you to keep the look fresh and modern. This week, I wanted to spice it up by pairing it with boyfriend jeans and an open chambray top. Boyfriend jeans are wildly popular right now, and it’s important to find the right ones. Forever 21 has a great (and inexpensive) pair that you can find here. You don’t need to break the bank when it comes to boyfriend jeans.

I love a good chambray top. Don’t be afraid to mix textures and colors, because there are so many options with this material. Because the top is a lighter shade and the jeans are darker, the look is broken up by the white shirt. We can’t forget to accessorize! These Topshop cat eye sunglasses perfectly tie together this outfit and give it an edgy pop. Although you can dress it up or down, I personally love it with my favorite pair of booties. Heading to class? Throw it on with some Converse and you’re good to go!
