STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: When in Doubt, Neutral it Out

The most versatile outfits revolve around combining some of the simplest of colors. That’s right—one of the most confusing but satisfying fashion paradoxes has made its way into summer ’16.

Should we blame Kimye? Should we thank Kimye? No matter how the trend began, neutrals will be spotted everywhere this summer. The craze could range from bikinis at the beaches, handbags in the city or even at your local smoothie shop—just like the Fashionista I ran into.

With temperatures rising as we’re entering the summer months, it’s instinctive for some to replace their jeans with shorts or skirts. But not to fear! Distressed denim was made solely for everyday leg coverage (or so I like to think). Not only does it give you a unique look, it also hands you another excuse to show off your newly tanned legs. Even though our mothers and grandmothers might scold us for purchasing jeans with holes in them, the feeling of a slight breeze grazing our legs in the mist of a warm summer day is well worth the money. This specific Fashionista decided to pair her distressed jeans with an open back black body suit, which resulted in an effortlessly chic look. 

The details and accessories in this outfit pulled it all together. Consider giving your eyes a break from wearing contacts this summer and throw on your glasses for an intellectual vibe like this Fashionista pictured. If you don’t wear glasses, you could still achieve a similar look and protect your eyes from UV rays by wearing circular sunglasses.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Wear whatever makes you feel confident.”
