Loud and Proud Colors at Pride

A@CGS — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 18:50:14 +0000

I spotted this adorable retro outfit while enjoying the gay festivities of Pride with my GBF. I just love that the trend for shorts is moving towards longer length-- it's so nice to NOT see cheeks hanging out all over the place!

What's better than a well-dressed man? A well-dressed man with his equally polished lady friend! I love the Euro look these two have going on. There are so many fabulous, well thought-out details in their outfits-- like the brown and white checked socks, for example, peeking out under the man's jeans.

I literally chased this guy down after I spotted him striding down Wabash like he owned it, paisley scarf fluttering in the wind. So cool, so effortless.

Plaid, Denim, & Tweed, Oh My! in Lincoln Park

I found this gent working at Express, which by the way, is my go-to store for a gentle transition from casual to professional. I think that all of the elements of his outfit work together smashingly.
