A SOPHISTICATED TAKE

A Sophisticated Take on a Classic Winter Weave by anthonybcash featuring Heritage1981

LOVE THIS. Fair Isle is a growing trend popping up everywhere this fall/winter. Above items include: Heritage 21 jacket, Old Navy shirt, Gap pants, Banana Republic bow tie and scarf, Converse sneakers.

Instead of grabbing a Fair Isle sweater and looking like your grandfather, you can take that pattern and inject it into smaller pieces (scarf, tie, belt, socks); making them much more wearable and classic. Now although the scarf is $70, the amount of times youre able to wear this throughout the season will definitely give it's money's worth and make the splurge gratifying.

I will stop making monochromatic outfits, promise.

HORIZONTAL STRIPES

Horizontal Stripes by lafemmekatrina featuring GAP accessories

Horizontal stripes are usually part of every seasons trend. My favorite - grey stripes. They're less harsh than black on white and don't look as mime-ey.

Another one of my favorites - jumpers, or summer dresses that can be used as a jumper. Layering a black top underneath extends the life of the dress.

Dress 1: These stripes are more bold, so I kept the top simple and added matte yellow tights for excitement. Black open toe-d pumps finish this look.

Dress 2: Here the stripes are softer, so I used a shirt with more character, and some floral tights to add some texture. Pastel pink open toe-d pumps keep this look from pushing the edge too far. The shoes in with the soft grey and the femininity of the top and tights.

Dress 3: This dress has more design elements in addition to the stripes so I kept it simple with a plain black turtleneck and matte black tights. Fuchsia pumps bring some interest in the lower half of the body.

Simple and Refined (and Affordable) by anthonybcash featuring GAP

Bare with me as I'm getting used to Ployvore. I like this. There are great little details that pulls this together well in my opinion. The main outfit is Gap, the pocket square Banana, and the sneakers are Converse.
