Look of the Day: Dressed up or Down

Eliel, UF student and musician

We spotted Eliel singing some sweet tunes on the Turlington benches in this sophisticated number. He dresses down a tie and blazer with a plaid button-up and jeans to bring a little youth and fun to the look. Eliel says he’s not a fan of “the men-in-hot-pants trend” and would never wear those short shorts—even for the sake of fashion. Well, we agree, and we hope they can take a lesson from our pick of the day.

Blazer: Found in his closet from when he was 12, Sears, $22
Shirt: Abercrombie Kids, $20
Tie: Thrift store, $3
Jeans: Gap Kids, $30
Shoes: Toms slip-ons, $35
