Issue #56 | Spring Weekend Style
Inspiration for my Instagram Saved tab
Do you ever get out of bed in the morning and have no clue what to wear that day? Happens to me all the time. That’s why I have an entire folder on my phone of outfit inspiration, and dozens of saved images on Instagram as well.
Just this morning I was feeling a little groggy and uninspired, so I picked up my phone, opened the app, and saw a pic of Aaron Levine channeling a relaxed spring morning in a light blue shirt, brown cords, a bucket hat and canvas sneakers, drinking a cup of coffee. And boom, there it was—my outfit inspiration for the day (minus the bucket hat).
When I find my inspiration, I try not to re-create the outfit exactly—that feels too much like playing dress up. Instead, I try to create the feel of it. What is it about the outfit that I like, and why today?
Levine’s outfit reminded me of a pair of camel corduroy pants I have from Mark the Tailor that I haven’t worn in a while, and a soft denim shirt from Banana Republic. Together, with a pair of canvas Catch Ball sneakers and a sweet vintage Detroit Tigers hat I found on eBay recently, it was a perfect, relaxed Friday fit. I was set.
So, as we head into the weekend, I wanted to leave you with some outfit inspiration straight from my Instagram Saved tab I’ve collected the last few weeks.
Have a great one, and I’ll be back soon (I promise) with my Tokyo menswear guide.
