After the brutal weather we’ve experienced here in Boston over the past few months, the slightest increase in temperature feels like a wave of tropical heat. Don’t let the mounds of snow fool you-on the day I spotted this Fashionista braving the elements sans coat, it was about 40 degrees outside. That’s a welcomed change from the bone-chilling snowstorms that have plagued BU’s campus since we came back from winter break.
This Fashionista chose a classic and low-key ensemble for this bright, sunny day. She looks effortless in an oversized white button down. This top looks androgynous in this picture, but up close you can see feminine detail-it’s made out of a gauzy, silk material. Over it, she opts for a black knit cardigan. The puffy sleeves make up for the lack of a puffy winter jacket. On bottom, she dons her favorite dark wash skinny jeans and knee-high black leather boots.
She jazzes up her basics by throwing on a long, bejeweled necklace. On one wrist, she threw on a bunch of bangles, and on the other wrist she buckled on her favorite watch.
While this particular day did not call for a coat, we all know that Boston weather can be quite unpredictable. I would recommend keeping a lightweight jacket just in case. The Peter Mock Neck Bomber Coat from Alice + Olivia or the Giorgio Brato Biker Jacket from Free People would look great layered over a classic, chic ensemble such as this Fashionista’s.
Whether the weather calls for bundling up or stripping down, you can’t go wrong with classic basics.
