"Clothes are never a frivolity: they always mean something."

The thought of waking up at 7 for a bio lab is stressful enough without the daunting question of "what am I going to wear?!" The Luxe Standard is making your morning a little easier by taking runway looks and compiling a list of essential fashion basics that coincide with the current trends for Fall/Winter 2010 so not only will be on time for class, but you`ll be in style while doing so !



LOOKNUMBERONE
A LONG WAY DOWN
(the essentials):

knit cardigans
sheer blouses
basic tees&tanks
maxi skirts
This look consists of pairing long jersey skirts with simple tops for an easy going, care free look. Add a leather belt to make the look more polished but still simplistic. Clogs, combat boots, or flat sandals all pair up well.


LOOKNUMBERTWO
THE NEW HUE
(the essentials)

solid colored pieces
colored legwear

Maybe an all yellow ensemble isn`t something you want to wear while strutting to your first class of the day, but this one colored hue trend is definitely something that can be pulled off on campus. Go for more subtle tones such as burgundy,olive, or gray in different shades of that one color. Carry a bag of a different color or texture such as a leather to add a bit of contrast to your look.


LOOKNUMBERTHREE
WRAPPED IN LAYERS
(the essentials)
vests
cardigans
denim pieces
knit pieces
tights
anything you want to layer!

The key to achieving this look is knowing what to layer and when enough is enough! Denim shorts with tights, a blouse and cardigan is a simple, clean layered look that most people can do without much hassle. Any of the looks below can be achieved with items most of us have in our closets!
Remember: ALWAYS take pride in your appearance & own your look no matter where or what you are doing.
You never know when an opportunity will strike =)
