STYLE GURU STYLE: Classic Essentials

Although summer is almost over for most of us, I just can’t get over the classic essentials. Before we fully transition to fall and as the weather continues to change, I find it necessary to stick to my classic essentials. A simple white, linen T-shirt and denim jeans are always a go to—they never seem to go out of style!

Aesthetically striking designer Raquel Allegra inspired me to embrace my classic essentials. Raquel Allegra’s resort 2016 collection was heavily impacted with denim pieces, which inspired me to wear my flared denim jeans (flared pants and jeans are trending lately). Her spring 2016 ready-to-wear collection influenced me to use my linen white T-shirt, because her fabric choices emphasized a sense of weightlessness that allowed movement. Both collections promote movement and easy-going color palettes and prints. Although Allegra’s collections showed a lot of dream-like feelings, they also promoted comfort through textures and color choices. She was also able to portray a sense of boldness and innovation through her silhouettes.

What I really tried to recreate from her collections through my outfit was the color palette, as well as the mixing of different patterns and fabrics. I picked my favorite classic white T-shirt to pair with my high-waisted, flare jeans to show a little bit of both of her collections. Since I am not over summer, I chose to use my grass straw bag to give my outfit a tropical vibe and a pair of wedges to really accentuate the flared jeans. I added some basic accessories, including  a black belt, wrist watch and  light brown sunglasses.
