O.O.T.D

White Washed // Summer can be spontaneous when it comes to the weather, and when we are in above 100 degree weather it’s the perfect excuse to wear a monochromatic outfit in white. The reason being is that it keeps you extremely cool in unwelcoming weather. I decided to go for a casual look today because I didn’t have to go anywhere I was just hanging out with some friends, but you could do this look more professional with a pair of white shorts, a white linen button down top and some white oxfords. Think Hampton’s beach party and if your not going out do what I did and style yourself in an oversized t-shirt and denim shorts being comfortable and fashionable.

O.O.T.D

Any time there is an excuse to wear a bowtie, everyone should jump to throw it on. A bowtie is a simple accessory that creates a simple statement that shows you aren’t afraid to take risks or be adventurous, and can take a simple casual look and dress it up a bit. For this look I pair one of my favorite polka dot shirts with a simple pair of jeans, which is perfect for a family gathering or an interview. If you were going to wear this to an interview I recommend keeping your accessories to a minimum you don’t want to over flash your skills.

For men’s accessories I know its normal for you to match your belt to your shoes, but why conform and do what’s expected. You don’t always have to match (even though I am a big proponent for matchy matchy) I think that you can break away from these rules if you are doing it in a subtle way. Like I am doing here, the white belt matches the bowtie and keeps the look clean, and the shoes are matching the other accessories so its not distracting and breaking the look up. It’s all about keeping the look pulled together so, take risks with your accessory choices but make sure they are cohesive with the rest of what your wearing.
