Say instead of a cutesy Tuesday, you're more into heart-breaker
Fridays. The heels on this one will let you dig into the chest

of anyone who glances your way. The shirt may say BSDM-
inspired rockstar on its own but styled with bow-tie pants and a
sophisticated trench coat, this look is a guaranteed showstopper.
Black and beige are great colours to use for any outfit if you're
stuck for a scheme. If you want to take this look to heavenlier
heights, try switching the black in this outfit for white, or try
wearing a white coat and shoes with a beige top and pants. The
possibilities are truly endless! Finish this look off with a clutch.

stairs. Those stiletto bad boys are sure to catch eyes for more
than one reason if you're not careful!)

I've seen so many back-to-school outfit posts that feature no
sweatpants and that's just unrealistic. It wouldn't be a fashion-
centric piece if | just left you with a sweatsuit, so let me dig in
a little further to explain what makes this look more than your
everyday “I’m tired and don’t want to be here” statement fit.

Monochrome, monochrome, monochrome... need |
say more? It doesn’t matter what colour, but for the love of
sweatsuits, wear a matching hoodie and pants. It’s an immediate
fashion hack. With regular shoes, | pull my sweatpants rim to just
below my knees because | don’t typically enjoy the bagginess
of the entire outfit. (Quick fashion hack: try to wear either a
baggy shirt and tighter bottoms, or vice versa! It’s a simple trick
that's sure to make creating outfits much easier. See: skirt/polo,
sweatpants/crop top, biker shorts/loose button-up, stockings/
dress, etc.!)

However, due to the double baggy nature of this outfit,
stuffing those ankle-cut sweats into a pair of boots for a cleaner
look works. Shoes are said to be one of the first things someone
notices about a person, thus they are one of the first things that
impact people's perceptions of you upon your first meeting.

Layers, layers, monochrome, layers—wait how did that
get in there? It’s true though! Layering adds so much depth
and dimension to an outfit. You could honestly layer anything
here and get away with it. | did an oversized flannel—the blues
matching the cool tones of the hoodie’s design—and topped it
off with a pin jacket.

(Quick fashion hack: Do use the colour wheel to wear cool
tones or warm tones together or find complimentary colours to
make outfit schemes! Don’t wear pink and red together, or even
worse, green and red. Just don’t. Please. | will cry.)

The jacket is also oversized, as it should be for this look. A
tighter jacket would work but it would clean you up into the
baggy pants/tighter shirt universal combo instead of the cool
guy “| don’t want to be here, but | still look good” style.

You've probably noticed how difficult it is to approach
someone wearing just a hoodie and sweatpants. Wearing a
statement piece with an outfit like this pin jacket will give you
and other people something to talk about. If you've got nothing
of the sort, perhaps opt for a baseball hat with a logo on it (this
one is a Porter Robinson & Madeon merch). This will finish the
look and give people the impression that you have a personality
under those layers and eye bags.
