Gentlemen, are you looking for a way to make your everyday look classier without having to shell out the big bucks to do so? Well, if you feel that you fit into this category, take on the most versatile piece of clothing for Fashionistas and Fashionistos alike: the cardigan. Cardigans are button-down sweaters that give an outfit a hint of sophistication as well as an added layer of warmth in these winter months. Stores like American Eagle and Urban Outfitters have cardigans in every size and color that are the perfect addition to your winter wardrobe.
What really caught my eye in this Fashionisto’s outfit is how the vibrant color of his plaid is complemented by the muted color of his cardigan. Although most of us shy away from bright colors such as red in the winter, it is always nice to see a warm color that reminds us of the upcoming spring. I love this Fashionisto’s outfit because it is one that any guy can pull off. I’m sure that there is a button-down hidden somewhere in your college closets, and a cardigan can join it in the near future. I love how this Fashionisto is daring and mixes patterns with the argyle on his cardigan and the plaid on his shirt. As far as personal touches for the outfit go, he adds some pins on his peacoat’s lapel, showing his appreciation for music.
My advice for this outfit isn’t just for the guys who want to spruce up their look. Ladies, take notice, too. This outfit can easily be worn for a more fitted look for girls, or it can even be worn by trading in the cardigan for a cable-knit sweater.
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Be creative with what you wear, and try looks out for yourself that you see other people wearing. There is a good chance that if you thought their outfit looked good, someone else will think the same of it on you.”
