Patterns are not to be feared, though. The solution to this fashion challenge is to keep it simple. Let one article of clothing be loud and textured. Balance it out by keeping other pieces neutral. Look to this Fashionisto if you want to perfect pattern wearing this season.
Wanting preppy shorts to be the focus of his outfit, this Fashionisto kept everything else simple. Building off from the shorts, he chose a basic black and gray baseball T-shirt. He paired this with a black leather belt. To complete this casual look, he chose Sperry Top-Siders. Girl or guy, these are the perfect casual boat shoes. They can be worn for a variety of different occasions. These three items that were paired with the shorts are staple pieces that any closet would benefit from.
