no longer just for the stiff and starchy, the naysayers of untucked shirts, or the members of "boys only" clubs - - the look of menswear is popping up everywhere, and oh, boy (and girl) is it striking!
off white or solid hue button down now!
1. the "yes, i'm at my goal weight, classic beauty " outfit - -
this idea is simply the meaning of effortless wear.
try a sleeveless or black dress and tie at the waist.
one of the oldest styling tricks in the book to look 10 lbs. thinner instantly!
this look, paired with tall boots is an "i can go anywhere at anytime and be perfectly dressed".
2. the "school spirit outfit" - -
spending a lot of time sitting in the bleachers this fall?
pair your dark denim with your button down shirt,
keeping the collar open by unbuttoning the first 2-3 buttons.
put a scoop neck or v-neck sweater over it, preferably in the color of your team.
untucked or tucked, this look is a winner on everybody.
3. the "ultimate cocktail party outfit" - -
a how to play it cool approach - -
put on your favorite slip, a patterned tight,
and a great pair of metallic or vintage kitten heels.
add an eye catching bauble necklace
(any choker works great too!).
feelin' cool yet?
everyone at the party thinks your famous,
and why wouldn't you be?
4. the "i'm a model and its my day off" approach - -
wake up in your leggings with your hair piled
high on head. wedge your glasses onto the crown
of your tousled half ponytail,
and slip into your boyfriend's oversized,
long and wrinkled work shirt.
who cares if it hasn't been washed?
make it your own by layering your favorite chunky scarf.
consider applying lip gloss. grab your messenger bag
and load it up with things to do.
open your apartment door,
strut down the hall with an urban gait,
and greet the world on a lovely afternoon.
5. the "oh, the places i'll go today into tonight" outfit - -
do you only want to get dressed once a day, and are diverse in your activities -
i.e. a full day of work and play on your plate?
this style is for you!
TIP: LAY YOUR OUTFIT OUT THE NIGHT BEFORE.
step by step directions;
roll out of bed at 5 am,
shower and then put on a cami.
once the coffee is brewing, slide into your stretch knit skirt (plain or patterned will work!).
put on your tights, closed toed shoes (boots or pumps are best!),
your button down and tuck it in. then put a blazer or vest over the top.
later on, untuck the top and let your hair down.
instantly a girl on the town! if you're not a skirt wearer,
pair the top half with black pants or high waisted trousers.
fall tweed is great too!
try each of these looks for true style diversity,
and remember to keep your eyes and ears open for the compliments happening all around you
