Look of the Day: Sophisticated Rock

Allan, guitar and keys player for band, The Gills

Allan promoted for his Gainesville show near the Reitz in this fierce preppy-punk outfit. Cardigans are all over the fall 2009 runways for men. Wear one with a fun graphic tee to pull off the look with youthful, fashionable flair. Fitted, uniform-washed jeans are a must for any wardrobe. It’s okay to splurge on a favorite pair - these can be worn with virtually everything in your closet. Top it all off with a funky pair of sneakers and aviators like Allan to really make a statement. Allan enjoys dressing up but still being comfortable, and credits European fashion as his main style inspiration.
