STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: The Button-up Luck

Do you have a piece of clothing that has been in your wardrobe for over 10 years?  Is it a quality piece that still fits and looks authentic? This Fashionisto sports a prime example of the long-lasting garment. His short sleeved button-up shirt has been in his wardrobe for over 10 years. By looking at this shirt, you would think,”Dang, this shirt is in glorious shape.” He admits that he washed this shirt endlessly, and its color has never faded. This shirt is beautifully immortal and its authentic print stands out. Even the the green button details give one joy. Can I get an amen for this shirt!

To match this shirt of wonders, this Fashionisto wore dark wash denim jeans from Shinola’s sister store Willy’s. Since we mentioned Shinola, let’s give a moment of awe for this timeless Shinola watch. Who wouldn’t love a luxury watch complete with timing functions?

To complete this outfit, this Fashionisto is wearing a pair of oxfords. This style of shoe is a classic of menswear and can be styled in many ways. He assisted this pair well with the rolled up denim style, and achieves the casual way of wearing oxfords with jeans. This Fashionista shares that he got these shoes in perfect condition from a thrift store for a good price. As some may know, I am a cheerleader for thrift shopping because many can find treasures for a low price (*plays Macklemore’s “Thrift Shop” in the background*). Recreate the old with something new.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Dear Fashionista/os, go through your closet and find garments that you can style in a new way. You never know, you may have a treasure in your closet that needs some lovin’.”
