Italian Import

Calvin DiNicolo, 21, Federal government employee

Calvin was seen at The Ranch in Gainesville, in a look that embodies the understated individualism often found in Italian style. The UF grad’s casual attire in warm colors makes it genuine; creating a look that doesn’t try to be one. Italian fashion is often referenced for its unique ability to show off your best feature. Calvin’s choice of tapered denim achieves this by emphasizing his stature, and shows us how slim fits can make for subtly sexy menswear. Calvin’s choice of a white collared shirt keeps his look fresh and classic, and ties in with his laid-back choice of solid white footwear. Though style is in his Italian blood, anyone can achieve this look of quiet confidence with some practice. Just remember- European flavor is always in good taste.

Polished Vintage

Caption: Tiffany, UF Alumni '09

Tiffany Feria, spotted at Gainesville's Speakeasy lounge, downtown, shows us that the best thing you can inherit from your mother might just be her antique apparel. Pairing simple skinnies with a long, lean blazer is the perfect way to way to keep warm on a cool Florida night. Cream coloring adds sophistication to any look, and is paired perfectly with warm-toned accessories. Her tan, brown-trimmed Longchamp is coupled with brown, heeled-sandals for a seasonally flawless feel. Red polish ties it all together for an elegant ensemble- inspired by mom.
