Graphics, but Grown
Mid-Length Everything
Long gone are the days of
mini skirts. In trend is
the midi cut. This
tailored style can be
applied to skirts,
jumpsuits, and
summer dresses.
The surprising
thing about this
cut is that it
flaunts your gams
without having to
bare it all. The clean
lines that are created with
mid-length cuts naturally
cinch in the waist and
elongate any body-type. To
add a classic feel, look for
button down styles or even
paper bag pants to wear
with an off-shoulder
crochet top.
MEN
Cling to the Classics
Before you throw in the
towel on comfort, there just
happens to be a convenient
trend on the horizon.
There is definitely a way to
wear graphics aside from
times of leisure. Logo mania
is back into full effect but
instead of feeling like the brand
is wearing you, we recommend
zoning in on a specific piece
versus wearing logos
head to toe.
Investment should always be placed
into your staple pieces such as good
denim or a crisp white button-down
shirt. Of course these items don’t
sound groundbreaking but these
essentials are absolutely necessary
to build an outfit. Don’t stray from
the items in your wardrobe that work
every time. Speaking of button-downs,
don’t forget an easy style tip called
the French Tuck. This subtle tip gives
your wardrobe structure without being
too conservative. To create the French
Tuck, just tuck in the center front
portion of your pants while allowing
the remaining fabric to be untucked.
Now for the men, we definitely agree that
less is more. However this does not mean
you cannot stand out with some key staples
as well as style concepts to broaden what
you already have. Menswear doesn’t fluctu-
ate often aside from fit or accessory trends
so the focus this season will be to repur-
pose. Versatility can stem from simplicity.
Tonal Looks
Creating a tonal look is a style concept similar to
monochrome. To achieve this look, take 2-4 hues
from the same color family. To pull this off, you will
have to trick the eye. Your base (ie; shirt and pants)
should be a neutral or lighter hue while the layering
elements such as a jacket should be darker. This
optical illusion gives your wardrobe depth.
