STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Perfect Patterns

June 12th, 2015 at 2:00am

A very popular trend this summer season, especially for Fashionistos, are printed button- downs. I have been seeing these shirts everywhere, from on the beach to the city streets and even in class. These button-downs come in many different patterns, such as shirts featuring certain animals, tropical patterns, tribal patterns, fruit patterns and paisley. Other fashionable button-downs consist of one solid color with a patterned breast pocket. The lightweight, breathable material and short sleeve style of these shirts make them very practical for the summer season.

These unique patterned button-downs are commonly worn among festival goers.They look good paired with different color chino shorts such as khaki, white, gray, military green, salmon or pale blue. This Fashionisto chose to sport a chic floral button-down, and wore the trend impeccably.

His dark jeans bring out the navy blue background in his shirt. He paired the shirt and jeans with a light blue jacket with dark blue sleeves and a dark blue collar, making navy blue the central color of this ensemble. His deep shaded blue jean Converse also complement the other shades of blue in this look. When wearing Converse with jeans, pull the tongue of the shoe out so that it is hanging over the shoes and jeans, as this Fashionisto demonstrates.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Be comfortable while still being fashionable. I will typically pair a stylish shirt with jeans or chinos. I would say I have a very eclectic style; I get inspiration for outfits from different trends that I notice around the city.”
