STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Beary Colorful

There is nothing that brings a smile to my face more than a guy with style. It makes it even better when it’s in the spring. Why? Because springtime is when everyone’s soul is awakened from the cold and you shed those dark layers to reveal your true colors. Cue, Cyndi Lauper’s cheesy song from the ’80s.

That’s right, it’s finally time for all those colors in your closet to come out and greet the world.  In a land of blue jeans and khaki chinos, it can sometimes be hard for a guy to bring out the color. This Fashionisto instantly caught my eye on campus with his eggplant-colored pants. He was serving up a look that was casual enough for class but also fun enough for the club.

A big deal breaker when it comes to colored pants is deciding what you will wear with them. This Fashionisto paired his perfectly with a witty and funky graphic T-shirt. The top works because it brings in hints of the same color of the pants, without getting too matchy-matchy. Instead of choosing to wear a casual pair of sneakers, the Fashionisto opted for a sharper look with a pair of canvas lace-up shoes.

If you really think about it, a hat could be a guy’s staple accessory. Guys aren’t as lucky as women when it comes to the variance in accessories, a girl’s Holy Grail handbag is her go-to outfit add-on.  Similar to handbags, you just can’t beat a clean and basic look for a hat. Adding this classic adidas ball cap, the Fashionisto gives his look that extra dose of effortless cool.

Hopefully seeing this Fashionisto’s super RAD look on their way to class, guys can take some notes on colorful style.
