Sometime between religiously watching the trailer for Kingsman: The Secret Service (when I should have been studying for Italian) and writing a TOOVIA article on the film’s fantastic menswear, I found the opportunity to watch this film. And by “found the opportunity,” I mean that I dedicated a generous timeslot in my planner for a Wednesday night at the theater. Homework would have to wait. After all, what’s more important: Taron Egerton or conjugating verbs? I have to choose the former.
Out of all the outfits sported throughout the film, my favorite was this jumper worn by Egerton’s “rough-around-the-edges” character. Not only did Kingsman succeed in the box office, but it succeeded in predicting the latest trends for spring. Jumpers have definitely earned a presence on runway shows this season (think Schiaparelli and Jean Paul Gaultier) as well as a place in college students’ wardrobes hence this Fashionista’s stunning outfit.
For a night out, wear a patterned jumper. However, if you have a hectic schedule on campus, opt for a solid jumper like the one sported by this Fashionista. A solid colored jumper pairs easily with other pieces to minimize the “I have nothing to wear” epiphany five minutes before class. Part of the solution to a fashion-forward day is ease. Ease helps the wearer feel more confident in what they wear, and we all know that confidence trumps all.
Add the finishing touches to this outfit by incorporating a statement belt, blazer and a pair of flats. If your classes don’t stray so far from your dorm, slide into a pair of chic wedges. Spring is here and so is the jumper to commemorate my favorite season.
