How much do I love Jil Sander? My love for the ultimate minimalist brand is seemingly exponential, as whenever I think they can’t get much better, they go and take the basic hobo and reinvent it. The change isn’t just in the coy “string sack” name. It’s crazy that all it takes is two little details to change virtually everything about a standard style.
As as a college student on a budget, I am constantly debating which items are worth the high designer price, and which I’m better off getting a cheaper imitation of. This fall, I plan on splurging for a neutral blazer. It will need to be a high quality piece for how often I’m going to wear it! Neutral blazers are unique in that you can wear one in almost any situation and never looked over or underdressed.
When it comes to fringe, there’s a fine line. Everyone is doing it now, and you can always bet designs run the gamut from good taste to bad form to just plain ugly looks…
It’s the palette that pulled me in: When it comes to this deceptively simple clutch, I’m more in love with the colors than anything else. I have to admit, the eighties girl in me is drawn to anything that combines pink and gray.
Whether you’re going totally casual or out for a luxurious evening, pale gray is color to be in right now – and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. The right shade of gray is always chic and exact. There is such a sense of polish and clarity in wearing steely gray, especially when you do it with utmost confidence. For the warmer months, you ought to consider it your ultimate neutral.
