STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Monochromatic Blue

This Fashionisto has been known for his sense of style around Pitt’s campus, so imagine how happy I was to run into him on my way to class! His outfit was the perfect monochromatic blue for the rainy skies Pittsburgh has been experiencing.

If any Fashionisto is looking for style inspiration, they should stop searching and look at this perfectly handsome and sophisticated outfit. The ASOS blue trench coat is not too long or too short, and hits the Fashionisto mid-thigh to make it a great day coat to wear to class. By tying the blue scarf with specks of green around his neck, this Fashionisto brings together the trench with the green “your neighbor’s sweater” from Urban Outfitters he is wearing underneath. Sometimes it can be hard to wear colors that have a similar tone. The key is to have a few base pieces and then use smaller pieces, like the scarf, that have colors from each base piece to tie the look together.

The classic dark blue pant again helps to bring together the monochromatic look. By rolling the bottom of the pant up, it allows everyone to see the Dr. Martens he is wearing. This specific pair is the Tobias 8-eye sold exclusively online at Urban Outfitters. The entire look is great for any Fashionisto to wear to class or even out on a date. It is casual, yet clean, and definitely shows that the person wearing it has some RAD style.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Layers are fun to play with; I like to do a collar under a wide-topped sweater like this. Also, Burberry’s art of the trench is the staple of this piece with the dark green complementing the look.”
