Minimalism is all the rage this year, from sparse white, black and gray bedrooms, to simple cubic lined phone cases. Simple is the new forward fashion. This modern home decor staple has transformed from a way of living to the streets of college campuses. This minimalistic style has expanded to a variety of university campuses on a number of Fashionistos.

This outfit focuses on the basics every college Fashionisto needs to tackle the summer months taking those dreaded summer classes. Its minimal appeal focuses on the basics every Fashionisto desires. His gray khaki shorts provide a neutral base to blend with the plaid pattern in his short sleeve dress shirt. The plaid short sleeve dress shirt provides a light, airy feel, which is perfect for those hot, humid University of Michigan days.
