UO style: Male Edition

So far, all of my posts have focused on women fashion, but by doing this I leave out the incredible men fashion that the University of Oregon campus has to offer. My first Male Edition post highlights the style of Chris, who has incorporated various trends to create a seamless and casual outfit. From now on, I will try to include more male fashions (like those seen on Chris) to better demonstrate the stylish UO population.

What to Wear With...

I recently purchased some olive green jeans and I absolutely love them! They're perfect for mixing up your normal denim routine and they are surprisingly versatile. From the cold months of January to the sunny skies of June, you can pair these bottoms with anything! Above, I've created three outfits for winter, spring and summer that will help you sport these jeans all year-round.

Circle Up

When typical winter days in Oregon don't consist of rain, they are shockingly cold. And of course the best way to brave the chill is to bundle up with coats, hats, gloves and of course, scarves. The most recent scarf trend has been the infinity scarf due to its comfort and 'wearability' (no more challenging scarf tie-ups). 

Both Alyssa and Elisabeth (above) show two great ways to sport the trend. But these scarves go beyond adding texture and color, they can also add pattern to a monochromatic outfit. Here are a couple great patterned versions:
- Aztec (Asos)
- Striped (J. Crew)
- Polka dots (Charlotte Russe)

Lace-ups vs. studs

Allison (left), Phebe (center) and Amy (right) show that boots can be worn in a variety of ways. Allison pairs her lace-up booties with black leggings and winter accessories. Phebe makes a statement with her boots as part of her black ensemble. Lastly, UK native Amy contrasts her studded boots with a brightly dotted sweater.

Welcome!

While Eugene is known for its rainy season - read: all year - the fashions seen on the University of Oregon campus go beyond your typical Hunter boots and North Face rain jackets. This blog aims to show that not only do UO students wear more than rain boots, they keep up with all of the latest trends.
