STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Pop

September 10th, 2015 at 2:00am

Are you ever in one of those moods where you just want to wear black but feel it’s getting boring? If so, try this! What this Fashionisto did with his outfit is fun and pops. When I first saw him on campus, I knew I had to come up and take his picture. He is wearing black skinny jeans, which can be found anywhere. We all need a mandatory black pair of skinny jeans that go with everything. To make him look sleek and lean, he topped the pants off with sleek black sneakers without adding any attention to them. On top, he decided to go with a tank top. Yes, it is black, but it has a big pink flower design on it. This is what pops; yes, he wore black, his favorite color, but the pink made his outfit fun. He kept it low with accessories. For him, it is his regular jewelry, a gold ’80s style watch and a small gold chain. In addition to that, he played around with his floral print backpack to add to the mood.

When thinking of the fashion trend of floral and especially the floral design that certain tops have, this guy pulled it off just right. He muted it down with his black bottoms, so you don’t even pay attention to that; all you see is his top! That is what works. If he were to wear other color jeans or sneakers, it would not flow as well.

So what is the style advice of the week? Don’t be afraid to play with it! Put prints together, wear black and don’t be scared to wear something loud. This Fashionisto’s outfit worked really well together, and it stood out. The floral print of his backpack and the flower design on his shirt is what made me stop him. The prints are a way of playing around without feeling uncomfortable with a certain silhouette. What do you think? Have you ever done this?
