Hey Fellas!!! We told you this series was coming and well....it's here....Our Fall Essentials Series!!! By the way this series will last approximately 7 weeks and will cover all the items needed to contribute towards a fashionable fall wardrobe. So....let's get into it!!
Fall Essential 1: The Cardigan!
Now we put the cardigan as a part of our Back to School Essentials- Layers post but we didn't cover it as thoroughly as we will today.
- Cardigans are one of the most versatile items that one can own because of the effortlessness it takes for an outfit to go form casual to dressy with just a throw on of a cardigan.
- They're a layer that can provide warmth while still providing style because we know some jackets and sweaters can be bulky and mess up an outfit.
- It can be the very thing that will make an outfit/polish it off.
- They come in many different styles, colors and prints like stripes and vintage.
With that being said....we'll show you some celebrities in cardigans and how to get the same look for less!
The first cardigan look comes from VintageMahogani. favorite, Chris Brown of course. He is giving us an example of a pretty casual cardigan look.
He has on a red/black buffalo plaid cardigan layered on top of a plain white tee. He paired the top and cardigan with some slightly cuffed, dark denim cut-off shorts and a pair of gold high-top sneakers.
We really love this outfit and we'll tell you how to get a similar look!
Start with this Navy/Cream Vintage-Style Cardigan and pair this underneath White V-Neck Tee. For shorts do something like these Taupe/Khaki Raw Hem Shorts and slightly cuff them like Chris' shorts. Then for shoes you can do a pair of high top sneakers like these Black Vans California Waxed Switchback Sneakers or even these lo-top Black Chuck Taylor All Star Slim Leather Sneakers.
Moving on to Cardigan Look 2: The Dressy-Casual Outfit...
Kanye is seen to the right wearing a plain white tee and a white cardigan with pink, rust, and blue accents. We can't see the bottom of this outfit but he probably had a pair of dark denim jeans and sneakers or even moccasins.
To get a little similar look to Kanye's...start with this Black/Cream Color Block Sweater Cardigan. You can put this Heather Grey Heathered Knit V-Neck underneath and wear these pair of Red/Maroon Chino pants. As far as shoes go you can do something like this pair of Black Plimsoll Sneakers.
Okay, for the last look we'll be showing you we got a picture of Chuck Bass from a show called Gossip Girl. He dressed his cardigan completely up. If you look to the left, you'll see that Bass is wearing a Navy/Red argyle print cardigan with a pink button-up layered underneath. He then paired it with a pair of grey slacks and we can only imagine dress shoes. He polished the outfit off with a white/navy/red tie.
We absolutely love the color combination of this whole outfit!
To get a look similar to Chuck Bass' dressy cardigan outfit, start with this Black Button-Up and you can do something like this Red/Black/Grey V-Neck Tipped Cardigan to put over it. For pants and shoes you can do this pair of Black Slacks and these Charcoal Feathers Canvas Stentorian Oxfords. Then to polish off the outfit go ahead and do a printed tie like this Red/Black/Gray/White Narrow Striped Tie 1 or Striped Tie 2 since you do have the outfit plain black all the way down.
Well fellas...that's all we have for this post. We hope that we gave you a few nice outfit suggestions you can see yourself wearing and feel free to leave us a few comments!
