Trend Spotting in Denton 2012

When roaming around Denton it is rare that I find someone that truly blows me away with their attire (other than my fellow fashion design peers). Most students on campus dress in what I like to call college comfort wear. There, of course, are always a few in some ridiculous "outfits" (if you can call them that) such as pajamas, leggings with a t-shirt, shorts and Ugg boots in winter, wife beaters and baggy basketball shorts, and the notorious head to toe university (some not even UNT) attire. BUT today we are going to try to focus on a few people who attempt to step out of that comfort box and maybe, possibly, somehow be fashionable.
I love the textures in this photo with the fur and the oversized sweater. Gorgeous ladies!


Jeans and layered riding boots are a classic in my book. In love with the cognac color.

One reason to love Denton/Texas is when you can wear shorts and sandals in January.
I love the idea of a casual over the shoulder purse to pull together their looks.

The composition of this photo is what made me love it. To me it screams DENTON.

Reading a book and drinking coffee by the square.

Super interested in the cardigan and boot look.
Navy and white nautical stripes are always classic.
And again, another sighting of cognac boots. <3

Of course, skinny jeans are a must in everyones wardrobe, but I admired her cropped jeans.
As well as the top with the loop tie and buttons.
Sunglasses and beanies are a must in Denton.

Easy and simple look to make a guy feel pulled together.

This girl was adorable!
All the different layers come together to complete her own style.
Of course, I love her boots!

This is the basic Denton grunge look.
Sport culture shoes, pants, t-shirt, and hoodie.
Definitely casual and easy to dress on the go.
It is a bit hard for me to find inspiration in Denton. I usually lean more towards professional attire, so I love driving to Dallas and walking around the malls there. I definitely think the aesthetics of Denton can still be inspiring to others who look for that quirky, casual, layered look. Sometimes Denton reminds me of DSQUARED2.


Some similar styles seen in the fashion/celebrity world...
Ashley Olsen in cropped black skinnys and TOMS.

Black Lively and co-star Leighton Meester in tights, knee highs, boots, and a plaid mini.

Normal celebrity grunge attire.

Nautical Old Navy cardigan seen in advertisement. 

Chucks, jeans, and a plaid tee seen on Ruud Gullit.

Hugh Grant in a classic suede blazer.
Oversized sweater in LA.
Cameron Diaz in Cognac riding boots.
AnnaLynne McCord in shorts and bright colors with over the shoulder bags.

Until next time... keep it classy Denton!
