Word on the street is that there’s an awesome new blog called Street Spotted. The website is run by a group of college students and recent alumni with an eye for new trends and unique styles. The team’s goal is to capture fashion as it happens in the college towns of New York and eventually, throughout the country. Think: fashion for you and by you.
Twice a week, we’ll be collaborating with Street Spotted on a style reviews. They find the looks, and we’ll show you how to get it for less.
The Look:
A student from Columbia bravely poses for the camera, showing off her distinctly college-style fashion. The outfit prepares her for the cold, and she radiates bravery and funky with her combination of textures, stripes, and leopard print. She picked neutral colors, so she doesn’t give spectators an eyeful, and she doesn’t call too much attention to
herself. Her thick-framed glasses tell us that she’s ready for study. In fact, she’s ready for everything: to battle the cold and to stand out gracefully on a cold and cloudy day.
She layers well. The varying textures in the sweater, scarf, and coat illuminate her warmth and style in the cold. Her laying is top-heavy and adds length to her body. Unfortunately, the skinny jeans emphasize her bottom half. No matter what look she was going for, I’m really digging the animal print boots.
I’m hesitant to give the look two thumbs up. For the boots, I’ll give it one.
Make It Your Own:
The great thing about this look is that it is versatile and adaptable. Mix and match your own colors and textures. We recommend that you stick with neutral tones when you’re mixing textures and patterns. After all, this look is for the everyday: class, work, and errands. After all, you’re shopping with your taste, your sense of style, and your budget!
Here is what you will need:
- down coat
- leopard print boots
- zebra print boots
- skinny jeans
- gray tunic sweater
- striped tunic sweater
- black scarf
- striped tote bag
Take a twist on this style, and make it your own!
