Reminiscing about your ballerina days is as easy as dusting off your old black leotard (or buying a new one if you threw it away), pairing it with light-colored ripped jeans, and a pair of (real or pseudo) ballet slippers.
Where to sport this look: If you still attend ballet classes, you can wear it to the studio, but for those who’d rather look like a ballerina than act like one, wear this casual look while shopping, getting your hair cut, or having lunch with an acquaintance.

Now these are stripes worth mentioning! For men of average to above average height only—the strong horizontals don’t do any favors to shorter men.

Shorts in the middle of winter may sound ludicrous (especially if you live in a windy, foggy, snowy, and/or rainy city), but with some heavy-duty tights and major confidence, you can pull it off without looking like you missed the memo about winter.
Where to sport this look: Just because you’re in shorts doesn’t mean you need to frolic in a field of greens. This sophisticated look can be worn to a chic restaurant, the theatre, an art/fashion show, but never on an ice-skating date with your new man (even opaque tights can rip).
