STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Effortless Flow

As the weather fluctuates between high and low in normal spring fashion, crafting an outfit requires a little extra thought. We all have those days when the morning chills get us sliding into jeans and sweaters, only to come back from class in the sweltering heat. It’s hard to predict what kind of outfit will prove to be most successful in terms of both fashion and comfort. The solution comes with good aim for killing two birds with one stone. Flowing and loose pants will keep the wind off your legs in the morning mist, but they aren’t too heavy in the afternoon heat. They also surpass the “leggings as pants” fad as they excel in both comfort and fashion.

This trend reminds me of dressing up in a business casual way without looking overdone for class. Silky fabrics and bold prints adorn the bodies of your most reliable sales representatives, but they also catch the eyes of our classmates. Fashion doesn’t have to kill you. In fact, flowy pants will outdo the look of your favorite pair of jeans.

How can bold prints be worn on the daily? Take note of this Fashionista’s look! Basic neutrals worn on the rest of the body don’t clash with the pants at all. Instead, they make the pants the focal point and draw in the eyes of onlookers. The black top reflects the hues in the black lines on the pants while the beige boots and cream sweater add a moderate contrast that doesn’t take away from the look at all. She even adds a bright necklace and chunky ring to make the outfit pop.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Dress up for everything. People are always telling me that I look so overdressed but I like to express myself through fashion and future employers will appreciate it so it’s never too early to start dressing to impress.”
