Prints, Plaid, and Petals
Life is too short for fashion that doesn't occasionally take you out of your comfort zone!
Often the answers to your outfit equation of the day are all in the fine print. That's why this week on The Spot we'll focus on pieces such as the Football Player Stripe Shirt, available from Original Penguin, to show you just how easy it is to add some pop and personality to any look! You'll be sure to score all the right points with items like these that show off a touch of that inner whimsy.
When picking a plaid shirt (it's more than ok to have multiples) it's essential to go for hues that speak to you and match the other pieces in your repertoire.
Items like the Jaspe Roadmap Plaid Shirt, also available from Original Penguin, are a great template from which to work off of! The orange gives the top a nice kick of color and the contrasting cool blue tones make it easy to match with a variety of bottoms. I'd recommend grabbing your favorite khaki shorts or faded jeans to complete the look!
Looking for that piece that will be your go-to for a night out on the town?
Start with a background shade that tugs at your heartstrings but doesn't necessarily make a regular appearance in your day-to-day. Add a captivating print to create some movement and you've got your new favorite going-out shirt! One way to jump on this trend train is with the Floral Print Chambray Shirt, also available from Original Penguin. With its striking chrome and pleasant scattering of blossoms, it'll be sure to make you and your look flourish!
There's more than enough space in your closet for a statement piece or two, and this lovely item is a great place to start!
The Men's Chrysanthemum Skinny Floral Tie, from the Bar III collection created for Macy's, is unabashed in its sheer awesomeness. With its vibrant blooms and brightly contrasting stitching, it'll be the centerpiece of any outfit you wear and room that you enter. Don't apologize for how fly you look and never doubt it either!
A floral for everyday wear that packs some zest without stealing the spotlight?
Yes, we have those as well! Pieces such as the Men's Watercolor Floral Print Skinny Tie, also from the Bar III collection created for Macy's, are quintessentially necessary for a truly complete and multi-faceted wardrobe. With its charming teal, turquoise, and marigold color scheme, this tie has the understated aesthetic that'll last for seasons to come. Why not plant the metaphoric seeds to get your wardrobe growing?!
