ALL IN THE DETAILS: Summer Blues

In California, fall comes a little slower into the year than any regular season.  We are blessed with an extra month of summer weather, so why not dress like it?  The small pops of color from the patterned trim on this outfit really make a statement. The sky blue button up shirt has a nice floral trim along the collar, shoulder blades and button trim which match the pocket square detailing.  The placement of the print detailing on the back is what really makes this shirt refreshing from what you usually see on men street style. A print patterning button up is a must-have for all men and perfect for casual days out.

The ‘preppy navy’ Banana Republic ‘Emerson Lightweight Vintage Straight Chino‘ pants balance out the print detailing the shirt provides.  The cuffed bottom of the pants let the Active socks peak out.  The socks give a fun and trendy feel to this street style and putting the outfit together by tying in the main colors.  The beige Clark shoes to finish the outfit by keeping the look casual but still implementing a quick hint of sophistication.  For accessories, the ‘Cole Haan dark tortoise acetate/metal square sunglasses‘ go perfect. Lastly, the sleek design of the apple watch and metallic band pair well with the sunglasses to finish off the look.

The best part about this look is definitely the fabric detailing on the shirt.  Having that pop of print is pretty basic when it comes to the pocket square but adding the trim on the button lining, collar and back really give the shirt an edge on originality. Details matter, so on your next outfit make sure to have it on your trimming or even socks to create a look that goes from simple to trendy. This outfit as a whole gives it the refreshing last looks of summer as we say goodbye to welcome in fall.
