Robert, our teenage model, is another example of just how easy it is to dress up a rather casual pair of slacks with a blazer. The Covington brand blue-gray chinos were a great start to build the look with. Because this young man is already quite the fashionable guy, we utilized a few pieces from his own wardrobe to pull it all together, including the short-sleeved blue checked-pattern button down, AND his own blue-gray windowpane patterned blazer! Where Goodwill came in was with some cool accessories like the black-and-blue pinstripe vest from Carbon Black, and two versions of classic neckties, the Marco Polo multicolored tie, and the black-and-white polka dotted bow tie! Like I said before, Robert knows his style so we co-opted his ultra-cool Converse All Star lace ups, in a light and dark brown canvas, which kept the look fun and accessible as well. We also slipped on a pair of Bjorn’s own sunglasses to emulate a high-fashion feeling. Dressed up, but not stuffy is how I would describe this modern and stylish look for a modern and stylish young man!
