Grown Up Collegiate in a Slim Fit Cardigan

Grown Up Collegiate
Feeling the love for this set?  Here’s more information about it.


Go back to school (or suit up for the weekend) in a classic menswear fashion formula: the button-down shirt, jeans, and a cardigan.  The twist?  The stripe detailing on the fabric belt that echoes that on the cardigan sweater sleeve.  Here’s how to get the grown up collegiate look:

1. Start with a pair of straight leg dark rinse jeans, paired with a brightly colored button-down shirt.  The light blue shirt toes the line between conservative and daring.
2. Belt your jeans - we love the playful stripe detailing on this Fred Perry belt.
3. Slip on a slim-fitting cardigan sweater.  The fit is the key here - too loose, and you run the risk of looking like grandpa.  Note how the stripe on the sweater sleeve recalls the stripe on the casual belt.
4. Finish off the look with a pair of rugged, lace-up boots.  The outdoorsy boots works with the casual belt, plus the rich brown color pairs beautifully with the bright blue shirt.

How would you get the grown up collegiate look?  Share your style with us in the comments!
