STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Staying Sharp

As the semester comes to an end and 2011 is waiting around the corner, the important thing for every college student is to stay sharp and finish up strong. Today's Fashionisto does just this with his clean-cut, confident look amid a stressful finals week. He sports a navy blue double breasted coat with subtle blue buttons and a firm collar. He fills in the neckline of his coat seamlessly with a white and gray striped scarf that he chooses to tuck in rather than keep out. This technique keeps the loose ends of the scarf contained, adding to his clean, contained approach. Balancing blue on blue, he wears comfortable dark wash jeans which in turn are a nice contrast to his more formal coat.

Hint: Patterned scarves go very well with sharp, single-color coats, as seen here. While this Fashionisto opted for stripes, don't be afraid to try other patterns like plaid, cableknit, or colorblock
