Just because you don’t have bright, crazy prints doesn’t mean you’re not making a fashion statement. In some cases, less is way more. Hidden prints and texturized fabrics are the perfect way to spice up an outfit in a subtle way.
Now, from a distance, it looks as though this Fashionisto is simply rocking a basic white button-down paired with navy pants and brown dress shoes. When you get a closer look, though, you will see that his button-down has a texturized grid pattern. In addition, along the button line, you can see an intertwining navy blue and white design that he later ties together with his navy blue slacks. To keep his outfit more appropriate for the summer, he is wearing light brown Giorgio Brutini shoes. Even though you can’t see this Fashionisto’s socks, he makes sure that he is still matching with a few stripes of navy blue to go with the pants and the pattern down the button line. These socks are great because even though stripes don’t necessarily match perfectly, they give his outfit a little flare.
When you’re trying to make a fashion statement in a subtle way, it’s the little things that go a long way. This Fashionisto is wearing a light brown belt with a silver buckle that he brings together with a silver watch and chain. His outfit is perfect for a business day, going to an interview or even for a classy, date night.
How To: Do you want to give your outfit a little spice? All you have to do is find a simple button-down that has a pattern along the button line and sleeves or even is made with a texturized fabric. Throw in a pair of crazy colored socks, and you’re good to go!
