LOOKBOOK | Striped, not stripped

halfwhiteboy - striped pullover and banded pants 01

A striped kind of day. Whether thick and bold or thin and subtle, stripes always add a little something to an otherwise plain, if not boring, top. And while the fail-safe route in wearing it is with something plain, doubling up the stripes factor can also work in certain cases.

My trousers here, for instance, are banded but these thick stripes are confined to the sides. This way the pants don't clash with my top. You only need to anchor the colors with each other, navy blue in this case. For comfort, I completed the casual look with some brown leather loafers.

They come in 125ml dark brown glass bottles and brown paper cylindrical boxes. Nice packaging there except for the cheap, plastic cap. No big deal, though, since they're just Php 428 apiece.

Since joining American Idol , Tyler, together with fellow judge Jennifer Lopez, have glammed up the singing competition with their flair for fashion ( forget Randy; he's hopeless ). And I am more than happy to wait for what he's gonna wear each episode.
