ALL IN THE DETAILS: Sophisticated Strolling

The snow is starting to disappear, and so are the beastly winter jackets. Swanky designer items fresh off the runways of New York, London, and Paris Fashion Week are not even close to attainable when glancing back at the college budget, but a Fashionista or Fashionisto never fails to improvise and get ahold of some European style. This Fashionisto made me turn my head as he looked like a natural European strolling along campus with the trendy half shaved look. Turns out, he was just a stylish Minnesotan.

Trends this spring: Neutrals, neutrals, neutrals. One also cannot forget about #adidas which is now trending on Instagram. Ever since Kanye West came out with the Yeezy tennis shoe as a partnership with adidas, the brand has become one that we all must bow down to. This Fashionisto is featured in limited edition 2014 adidas X Neighborhood shoes. With the black beaded accent for the stripes as well as the fringe detail, it just cannot get more fabulous than this. Buying a statement piece is also necessary. Who ever said that statement pieces had to be a bold color? This Fashionisto’s scarf is parallel to the line of his silhouette, and pulls the whole piece together. This spring, look for something to add to your closet that you can stroll around in with multiple outfits.

How To: Jack Spade is the Jack of all trades. Although we may only want to mention kate spade, Jack also specializes in bags. To get this Fashionisto’s ‘Le Dirt Bag’ messenger bag, check out Jack Spade’s collection. Club Monaco is a great go-to for lightweight jackets. The jacket featured will keep you warm, while staying stylish. The best of all is that this is also a staple item and can be mixed and matched. To get the rest of this look, the scarf is Altea, glasses: OAK, Jeans: Natural Selection, and the rustic nail bracelet is from Giles & Brother.
