ALL IN THE DETAILS: A Little Razzle Dazzle

At first glance, this may look like your average outfit. A gray T-shirt and a pair of denim shorts make up the majority of it, but what really makes this ensemble stand out from the crowd are the tiny details.

If you take a quick peep at her shoes, they look like regular black leather slip-ons. However, if you get closer, you’ll see that you are dead wrong. These are J. Crew embossed slip-on sneakers. I was played for an utter fool and tricked into thinking that these were made of pure snakeskin at first, but upon further research, I found that these aren’t even made of a real animal! I was absolutely flabbergasted to learn that the reptilian material in this footwear was just polyurethane with a deceiving pattern stamped into it.

Zooming in on her wrist, we find a swanky white enamel Hermès bracelet. I had thought that her name started with the letter H, but she explained to me that this was the signature emblem of the luxury brand. Just goes to show that you can learn something new about the industry every day. Plated in palladium, this small golden wrist accessory isn’t the most flashy bit of jewelry, but it’s perfect for subtly flexing your lavish lifestyle.

How To: Are you trying to upgrade your plain leather shoes without paying for new ones? Take a small knife and slice up your own custom patterns! Have you always wanted a shiny bracelet with an H logo on it, but never had the budget? Save up your lunch money and maybe you’ll be able to buy one at the end of the summer! If you want to show off the understated components of your fit, basic clothing really lets those intricate details pop.
