After the stripes, get yourself a dark blazer in black or navy, which you can use for almost any spring outfit. Get one that is fitted and in a light-weight fabric, which will carry you through spring into early summer. It will also come in handy once the weather starts to cool down again after August. I've chosen a thin corduroy which has slim vertical stripes that are almost unseen to the eye but help elongate your torso. The corduroy can also take your look from day to night, doubling as a suede look and working brilliantly for a night out. Never underestimate the power of a blazer to turn a regular casual look into one that is a little bit more refined and formal. Next, I am as always a stickler for skinny jeans that suit most body types. There are various cuts to take into consideration, such as the tapered leg or legging types which are also now in stock and hugely popular. Although these types work best for a skinnier frame, there is no reason for you not to try them out and see how they feel. Don't feel like, “Oh, skinny jeans are not for me,” just try them out at your local store and find out which works for your body type. I can assure you that a slimmer silhouette favors everyone and creates a much better impression than bulkier “mom jeans” or flat fronts. Another plus is that if you are a fan of Chino
jeans, these now come in all colors and shades to breathe new life into your wardrobe. They are available in both men's and ladies' for under 30,000 won. Complete the look with some leather brogues with updated rubber soles, a staple for any wardrobe, and then add a handy backpack for all those notepads, textbooks and other items of necessity. The bag shown is in tweed and leather for a classical twist. Always remember to wipe leather using soft cloths and apply shoe polish to keep the leather maintained. Finally, round off your look with some reflective sunglasses for those harsh rays, which will soon be out! So here's to a brilliant new work year!
