Graphic Tee Level Up: Level Progression

Welcome back!  So now that we’ve got the idea of using layers down, it’s time to talk about other ways that we can level up our outfits.  Let’s bring back a leveled up look from last time.


 So we’ve got more interest going on in the top part of our outfits, but the bottom…still jeans and sneakers.  Let’s equip something else.


Still wearing jeans, but by changing the color and cut, the tone of the outfit has changed.  It’s less casual than before, but not over the top.  The shoes on the other hand…what can I say?  I’m a girl.  Occasionally shoes happen.  Anyways, adding a pair of dressier shoes also makes the outfit more polished.  It’s a long way from the original outfit, isn’t it?


Let me stop and say that while layers are a great way to change up an outfit, they really aren’t required.  You can just take your basic outfit…


…and make a complete substitution.  Goodbye jeans, hello skirt!  Throw on some boots or heels, and now we’ve got a date look ready for a trip to the arcade, or dinner and a movie.


Now a skirt might not be the best option for the guys, but what else can be done to change up from jeans?


How about some color?  Coordinate, contrast, add a pattern like pinstripe.  This outfit has been a favorite of mine for a while, and was discovered accidentally while folding laundry.  And yes, I did say layers weren’t required, but let’s add one anyway.


Who wore the vest better?  Bob Ross or Storm Trooper Dance Troupe?  Regardless, it’s still as versatile as ever.

Do you see now how easy it is to give geek a little chic?  But I’m not done yet.  Next time, I unlock a secret level by combo-ing these methods with a twist.
