Smack dab in the middle of the United States sits the great state of Kansas. What’s not so great is our lack of sea salt and waves, especially during the summer. The only solution to this landlocked problem is to bring the beach to you with your style. Beach style is all about minimal layers and light colors. In order to feel the most summer savvy, a key element in the fashion world for everyday guys is a pair of khakis. I always find this to be interesting because my work uniform involves a pair of khakis and I dread it. But after further research, it is clear that although it may sound overly-simple, khaki shorts just work for guys. Sorry, ladies.
Today’s Fashionisto was definitely channeling his inner laid-back surfer with his brand choices. His graphic T-shirt came directly from the most SoCal store you will find in your local mall, Hollister Co. It’s light, breezy and adorned with “Waves All Day,” which should be everyone’s ultimate summer slogan.
The key element to the Fashionisto’s look are his American Eagle Outfitters “long-board shorts.” These are casual and cool and can go with most things in a college guy’s summer wardrobe. The sandy color of these shorts almost mimic the beach theme today’s Fashionisto was going for. Even though they are khaki material, which tend to feel a bit heavy, they pair perfectly with a relaxed T-shirt.
Sandals aren’t this Fashionisto’s thing no matter how surfer-inspired he may be, so he opted for his favorite pair of moccasins. They are easy to slip on and off, and finish off his sandy color scheme.
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “I’m all about comfort when it comes to my style and I usually pick simple items. Khakis and a cool T-shirt are perfect for when you are in a rush but still want to look nice.”
