Casually Smart
Rocking a polo with a blazer? Totally cool! It's the ultimate smart-casual move that works for almost anything. Just make sure your colors and patterns play nice, and that blazer? Snug and styled. Who knew looking sharp could be this much fun? Polo and blazer – definitely a style dream team!
In this pic, Richard Rey's nailing it with a classic red and blue striped polo, plus a lively tie. Worried about too many colors? Nah! The blazer steps in like a style referee, calming things down and adding that easygoing touch. It's a color combo with a chill vibe – business, but make it laid-back.
No Sweat In Sweaters
Richard effortlessly plays with style contrasts. Sporting a mint green sweater, he softens his athletic features, giving off a refreshing vibe. Paired with cool printed shorts and a cap, he's got that easygoing boy-next-door charm. And who says pastels are out?
Switching gears, Richard stuns in a black sweater adorned with red rose prints, coupled with light-washed skinny jeans. This blend brings a touch of femininity to his wardrobe, straying from the typical masculine looks. It's all about embracing versatility and making fashion your own.
Cut it down a sleeve
Sometimes, chopping off the sleeves takes your outfit to a whole new level. Cutting off the sleeves is the ultimate game-changer. DIY style is on, and there's no denying it – cutting is the key! Embrace the scissors, redefine your outfit, and let that sleeveless vibe speak volumes. It's not just fashion; it's a statement.
