"I typically treat following color trends as a spectator sport — one look in my closet proves it. But over the last few months, I've become curious about creating a wardrobe worth color coding. Sadly, every other color making noise this season isn't flattering on me. (I learned my lesson last year wearing a butter yellow bridesmaid dress.) But when I saw that sky blue was trending, I knew the low-key pastel could work for not only my fair skin tone but also with everything else I already own. Some may say wearing light blue is cheating, especially for anyone who owns as many neutrals as I do, but I say it's the smartest way to dip your toes into a trend when you do primarily wear black, white, and beige.
I'm already a fan of wearing oversized, structured shirts with jeans, especially dramatically wide and loose denim, so pairing this button-down top with these frayed-hem pants was a no-brainer. " — Samantha Sasso, senior editor, branded content
