As we have come to know over the years, it is all about simplicity, is it not? This translates into various aspects of our lives. As the motto goes; the simpler, the better. Well, guess what? This reigns true in the fashion world, as well. Just think about it – isn’t it confusing to focus on what someone is saying if they are wearing 3 different patterns with an endless amount of jewelry and a pair of shoes that belong in the Smithsonian? (If you are unsure of the answer, it is YES).
So gents, this one is for you. Dressing up doesn’t have to be difficult; it’s not, and this Fashionisto is here to prove it! This cold weather has given us all a reason to resort to the comfiest of clothing – sweats and baggy t-shirts – but, let’s be real for a second…who wants to look like that day after day? Not me, for one. Don’t be discouraged by this winter weather! Look through your closet, I know you’ve got some killer pieces that are just screaming to be put to use.
To begin, let’s focus on jeans for a moment. Jeans are essential to any wardrobe; male or female. If you don’t have a good pair of jeans, invest in some. Now, don’t simply buy any pair; try to select ones that are classic and can “dress up” an otherwise casual outfit. For instance, this Fashionisto is wearing a great pair of dark wash jeans that tailor to his look perfectly. It is normal nowadays to wear jeans without being “dressed down.” So, find your perfect pair and rock ’em!
Next up is the classic button down. While this may seem like a no-brainer, the choices can be overwhelming! This essential piece that has become a male staple over the decades can be used to spice up any outfit. Play around with colors, guys! This week’s Fashionisto chose a grey button down (somewhat appropriate for this time of year); however, there are endless options out there. Experiment to find your favorite!
As for shoes, you can never go wrong with a nice pair of loafers. To add some accessories to the mix, add a nice watch that will aid to your outfit’s greatness AND also keep you running on schedule; a win-win! (These can be pricey but, a high quality watch will last you years and is a necessity for men and women alike.)
In this outfit you will be dressed to impress; I guarantee it. Time to show us ladies that we’re not the only ones who can dress well.
How To:Â Looking for a way to show off those new shoes you got for Christmas? Not a problem! They will look GREAT with jeans and a fun button down. You know what they say, “New year, new you.”
