Once again, my love for dark colors has shown through the styles I am drawn to across UGA’s vast campus. But in the heart of the South where Nike shorts, oversized T-shirts and Chacos dominate every college campus, how can you not love this Fashionisto’s daring and edgy look? It can sometimes be difficult to overcome your fear of standing out and dress the way you want in a world where uniformity is cool. However, this Fashionisto radiates with confidence and shows us that we should skip the easy route of sneakers and leggings next time we’re looking for something to wear and choose that stylish outfit we have been dying to wear for weeks.
This Fashionisto’s look perfectly captures an edgy, urban style that has become more and more popular with the release of Topshop’s Ivy Park and past fashion weeks’ focus on street style. His basic, dark gray button-down and light gray jeans are simple on their own, but with his accessories, create a complete and polished look. He adds a mesh T-shirt under his button-down, a black stone necklace and sleek, semi-rounded sunglasses that make his final look worthy of being featured in Vogue’s photographs of New York Fashion Week’s best street style. Additionally, I personally love that he is only wearing different shades of black and gray and is still able to create a look that stands out among the crowd of students on campus. I know that this Fashionisto has inspired me to dress up in what I love most when I am getting ready for class from now on. So next time, take your mom and your friends’ advice and “you do you.”
