Two things.

This outfit is perfect. It is a super casual getup but has some subtleties that make it fabulous. Or, maybe he looks so great cause he’s in love.  Aww.

Focus.

Fit. Usually things must fit correctly, but sometimes over-sizing it or shrinking it a bit is an easy way to make an ordinary outfit look slightly different from the pack. Looking perfectly well fitted is nice but that’s it. It’s a fine line to walk.

THE RULES

When to oversize it:

Giant Coats. If you’re swimming in a coat it looks like a blanket. The Row creators are all about over-sized coats, in their own wardrobes.

Big shoulder sleeves on a woman. They make you look effortless, especially when sliding off the shoulder. On a man, well, it’s kinda weird. Just take off the shirt.

Large winter hats. Make you look like a cute Eskimo. Everybody loves Eskimos.

Shoes. For men, it makes you look… like you have big feet. But for women, larger boots make your legs look skinnier.

When to Undersize it.

Shortened sleeves on a blazer or coat while everything else fits perfectly. Not quite 3/4 sleeve length short but slightly (1.5″) raised. This fella blended his plaid hoody in with his understated dark plaid vintage blazer. If you do it, you must have the blazer fit correctly shoulder to shoulder and in the bodice.

Jeans. Skinny pants really suck you in and make you look longer.

The Belly. Just suck it in. I do all the time.

To be honest, not a huge fan of the outfit. Wishing she had colored wellies on and a different colored bag. I don’t really get the all black outfit. I am sure this is her lazy sunday hangover outfit, to which many of us can relate. But she’s so cute cause she reminds me of my Caucasian friend Cori in high school, in face and hair. You wonder why I even have to mention Caucasian? Well, this post has now given me a reason to add this blog’s link below…

Real reason for this post.

The subject of this street snap appeared to be an extraordinarily stylish Shanghai resident, but a closer inspection revealed his true nature: Adidas Streetwear Designer.

Mr. Adidas is an original (unlike the store “Vogue” behind him) in his nerdy-cool specs, oversized ribbed circle scarf, fitted leather jacket, murse (man purse), and grey and black striped cardigan.

The perfect proportions, creative layering and the right mixture of textures allows this handsome fella to jump out in a sea of millions droning in puffy, fur-lined jackets, walking the streets of China.

Dimples and a great smile are the perfect accessory to add to any outfit.
