STYLE GURU STYLE: Keep it #Basic

October 21st, 2016 at 2:10am

Fall brings a number of my favourite things: pumpkin spice lattes, amazing make-up trends and beautiful scenery. However, fall fashion is prime. With the change of seasons there is one thing I know for sure which is basics will never go out of style. Take a risk and keep the light wash jeans out for just a few more weeks. Since edgy chic is all the rage right now, Fashionistas/os!

In this look, I paired my favorite light wash jeans with a plain white V-neck. One of my favorite things about this outfit is how simple it is to put everything together. In order to make this subtle, basic look a little more edgy, I paired it with some black booties, a heather grey cardigan and a choker. As a ’90s kid, I never thought that chokers would come back in style but here we are in 2016 with them coming back in full force. I can tell you right now that I am 100 percent not complaining, because the choker has become a staple in my everyday wardrobe which makes any outfit go from dull to edgy and cool.

I can assure you that keeping it basic never looked or felt so good. There are endless options with essential clothing. Also, there are affordable stores such as Gap, UNIQLO and H&M that carry loads of fashion forward basics. For example, there are sweaters, flannels and jackets with a fall color palette in mind. Pulling off basics can be accomplished when you do it with confidence, class and a little sass.
