Sometimes getting dressed gets boring. For me, wardrobe boredom usually hits around this time in any given season. For example, at this point in the summer the novelty of shorts and short sleeves has completely worn off. I’m busy daydreaming about merino wool and tweed even though it’s still 100 degrees here. Yes, it is awful, thank you for asking. So at this point when I’m ready to jump ship and skip ahead into the next season, I try to get a little creative with what I’m wearing. Finding a new way to wear an old piece or reviving life into a season I’d rather see leave can sometime yield the most stylish results.
Adding suspenders to a look like this is a great way to inject a little life into a basic short sleeve chambray shirt that I’d rather replace with a long sleeved flannel. Clip on suspenders like these can be a great addition to any wardrobe. Whether you need to dress up a wedding outfit or give a casual look a creative spin, suspenders are a great way to add a little personality to a look and stand out. I personally love the look of these leather ones. Clipped to a great pair of dark skinny jeans keeps the look more modern, and they draw your eye to the great belt loop detailing on these jeans (photo below). Balanced by my favorite pair of vintage loafers which help create a cohesive look and together make the perfect combination of everything that I love: a classic vintage vibe with a modern edge.
