I’m sure everyone has found themselves purchasing a new piece that may prove a little more difficult to style than basics. Sometimes a glamorous midi skirt or loud cardigan stands out to us so much that we just have to buy it! Unfortunately, these fun and unique pieces so often sit in our closets, as they might be considered a little too dressy for everyday classroom wear. However, this Fashionisto makes it very clear that there are no limits to dressing up for school.
When you’re wearing a particularly attention-grabbing piece, it’s all in the details as to how to style it in a way that makes it a little more classroom appropriate. While this gorgeous jacket certainly draws eyes, it can easily fit into a casual environment with the right basics and accessories.
This Fashionisto layers a simple black turtleneck underneath his jacket to keep the rest of his look clean and monochromatic while still directing attention to the details of his jacket. A basic black tote is more cohesive with the professional tone of this outfit than a backpack would be, and his pointed-toe ankle boots maintain a very modern and geometric theme throughout the outfit. The boldest accessory here is the simple addition of wire-frame glasses that do not attract any attention away from the centerpiece of this outfit, yet the addition of this detail maintains balance from head to toe.
It can be very nerve-racking to wear your bolder pieces to campus; however, you should never let that stop you from expressing your unique style! Take a page out of this Fashionisto’s book and use minimalist details to create balance. While there’s no such thing as being too dressed up, this Fashionisto makes it evident that it’s simple to make even your loudest pieces casual enough for class.
