Blog #5; Button Up.


Forget the grungy, layered flannel, and put away your baggy, boyfriend shirts. Fashion has taken a swing in the other direction, getting a more refined, sophisticated look. In a school where a strict dress code is required, I have heard a lot of complaints from many students about how we are supposed to dress - especially from the ladies. Many girls think that the collar and polo style is just for boys, but little do they know that look is carrying its way into the fall trend style.

How to wear them:
The key to the buttoned-up look is that it should appear put together. But don't forget: this is a time where over the knee boots and see through tops become fashion trends that leave the catwalk where everything is dramatic and make its to the simple streets. To balance the look out and make it appear more feminine and girly, try pairing it with some shorts or a skirt.

If you'd like to keep things modest you can try a crisp buttoned-up shirt with tailored high-waisted slacks for sophisticated minimalism. As for the cut of the shirt, the buttoned collar can work with sleeveless, short or long sleeved shirts. And be sure not to forget about the ever-so-popular shirt dress! For accessories, try to avoid ties! Your best bet is to add a necklace, especially the layered statement pieces or you can also add a brooch or pin to add some pizzaz.
