#LOOK_POST: Bare Essentials – There’s More To You than Just Skin

The back is where it’s at, pretty much all the time. With summer approaching and tugging along with it, a string of fabulous events to attend, one has to adhere to some rules with regards to looking the part + showing some skin + staying cool. This edgy, asymmetrical jacket-top with an open back detail is one of those situations that tick all the boxes – effortlessly. Pair this with a pair of slim to super skinny jeans and you have a casually chic moment that engages onlookers. If you’re bold enough, a pair of wide-leg pants, straight-cut trousers or high-waist tuxedo pants also do the trick. This look can be finished off with a great pair of sneakers or leather shoes and take to the world with either a great up-do or a bowling hat too would do.

Get this look!
