With school starting back up, everyone is ready to show off their new summer styles. Especially if you are apart of The Fashion School at Kent State, be ready to see a lot of Fashionistas and Fashionistos rocking their own unique styles on campus. It is important to keep up with new trends, but that does not mean we should neglect the classics and basics.
Simplicity is key. That is what I tried to capture through my style. I made sure to include some of the basics that every Fashionista/o needs in their closet. Here, I paired a white button-down with a pair of blue distressed high-waisted shorts. This pairing is simple, but anyone can add accessories or pops of color to make it their own. I chose to pair my outfit with Alex and Ani bracelets, a Michael Kors watch and a simple necklace and ring combo. It is important not to overwhelm your outfit with accessories. The purpose of accessories is to emphasize and express. To complete my look, I wore a pair of black ankle boots from Forever 21. Everyone needs a pair of black booties. They are a timeless piece that matches with about everything. My Tory Burch aviator sunglasses would have to be my favorite accessory. I love its rose gold tone, which also matches my watch. It adds a little color to my look without overwhelming it. A good pair of aviators will go a long way!
These basics are staple items you need to have in your closet. You can never go wrong with them and you can incorporate them into other looks as well. Simple basics can take your look from day to night or from casual to business. The bottom line is, do not forget the classics. They are the foundation of the current trends we love today, and they are here to stay.
