STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Quirky Prints

July 22nd, 2016 at 2:00am

As the summer heats up and temperatures soar here in Savannah, fashion has never been more fun. The youthful spirit of the season soaks into us all like the sun’s relentless rays and now our best looks come out to play. Summer has always been a great time for personal style and this Fashionisto couldn’t agree more.

The star player of this look is the printed button-down shirt, taking us to the heart of everything summer. The linen fabrication is a season classic. Not only does it keep him cool in the heat of the day, but the quirky island map print really makes a statement. I was instantly drawn to the fun little graphics. It’s a current take on those cheesy (yet oh so lovable) Hawaiian shirts of the dad and grandpa variety. He actually found his entire look at a local thrift store! The result is a feel that is equal parts retro and modern, two styles this Fashionisto enjoys to mix in his wardrobe. Quirky graphics are taking the menswear scene by storm this month as fashion week rolls out cool and quirky prints as seen at Kenzo. And to top it all off, we’ve got great neutral accessories such as this TKO watch that ground the look while keeping the shirt the main feature of this summer stunner.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Style doesn’t have to be expensive. I prefer shopping second hand because you find more unique things. Find a style you like and wear it! Don’t get dressed to please other people, do it for you.”
