Celine Spring 2020 for Men
I must admit, I was rather disappointed by the runways we saw for this spring 2020 men’s fashion week. After combing through all of the designer shows and seeing how they all look basically the same, there were only two specific runways that stood out to me enough to actually review. Celine is one of those two fashion shows that I have decided to write a Runway Review about! What stood out to me in this spring collection was the perfect mix of business and casual wear. If you look at the entire spring 2020 line up of men’s fashion, you will notice that pretty much every designer featured a…

Happy to “Bee” Here
Nothing can truly beat a classic white t-shirt or polo. When you combine those two elements with a simple bee pattern, sky is the limit with how you can style it! Every summer there always seems to be some kind of animal, or in this case a insect, that acts as the fashionable symbol of the year. Well, I believe that 2019’s summer fashion symbol is the bee. I have a detailed theory as to why, but I won’t go into all of that right now and instead I will talk about all of that later. Anyway, back to this polo. I have always had a love for the buttoned…

How to Wear Knits in the Spring
Spring can be a rather difficult time of year to dress for, but it doesn’t have to be. I like to switch it up this time of year by wearing a short sleeved cardigan! Not all cardigans are created equally, and often times we see them being worn as a complementary piece to an outfit not one of the main staples. Just by simply switching things up and wearing a nice short sleeved cardigan as a top can really create a whole new kind of ensemble! Another element to wearing knits in the spring choosing the right color. This peachy/orange shade has so many different shades it can be worn…

What I wore to My Brother’s College Graduation
The day was finally here where my brother would graduate from the University of Illinois with his undergraduate degree. Of course, on big days like that everyone thinks about the logistics of getting people to all of the places they need to go and the work that went into my big brother graduating. However, if you are like me, your first question usually is “What will I wear?” Well, I shared a few ideas with you all not too long ago of what to wear to a spring graduation. A lot of the ideas I came up with kind of fell into the dress that I chose to wear to…

How to Style a Trench Coat for Spring
It’s no secret that trench coats are an absolute closet essential for both men and women. We often think of it as something that we should all own, but we really don’t know how to wear it. It becomes especially difficult to style in the springtime, but it doesn’t have to be! The spring season is the perfect time to break out the trench coat because of all the pretty cherry blossom trees and the in between weather. Although styling changes from season to season, the way I like to wear a trench coat (here is the EXACT trench coat I am wearing) in the spring is with bright colors!…

The Two Toned Denim Trend
Something I have been noticing a lot more of recently is that two toned denim in long jeans and shorts has become something of a micro-trend. Personally, I find this micro-trend very fun and unique! This really will add a little something extra that you can mix and match both spring and summer outfits with. I recently purchased a pair of denim shorts that features this two toned denim look and I thought it would be so much fun to try with different tops and blouses. Also, you wear a pair of the trendy white cowboy boots or just a classic brown pair they will look super cute with these…

The “A Few of My Favorite Things” series here on Faintly Familiar is always a highlight for me each new season! Springtime brings a flurry of different accessories and products to use that just do not get their time to shine in the winter or fall. Today, I want to share a few of the things that will be getting plenty of use from me. The Illinois Ball Cap This week I shared the ball cap that I will be wearing most this summer which you can see in the photo above. The state themed ball cap trend has gained some speed this spring, but I have had this particular…

How Polka Dots & Yellow are the Micro-Trends of Spring 2019
Something that I have been noticing a lot of recently is the random emergence of polka dots. They can be found in so many different places and they have become something of a kind of micro-trend. A lot of fashionable ladies have embraced the polka dots for spring 2019 trend, and I have now too! Polka dots have always been one of my favorite prints and let’s be honest, they never truly go out of style. But there are times when we see more of this pattern than other moments in fashion. Right now it is really ganging steam and it could be a trend that very well lasts into…
