Flavor of the week | Wild 'n' out

Flavor of the Week. Bringing you the latest updates in fashion. Guiding you out of bed and into the latest trends. Whether on campus or out for the night, you'll be in style. I'll give you fashion tips to add a little flavor to your wardrobe.

This Week's Must

Girls - Spice up your wardrobe with animal patterns and bright colors. Leopard print goes well with bright red. Try pairing zebra print with turquoise and lime green to add extra zest. Try the "twist front tee" in purple leopard print from Express. Dress it down with jeans and flats for school or dress it up with dark skinny jeans and black pumps. Try the "leopard bra cami" paired with a bright red jacket, jeans and flats for a stylish, yet comfortable look. For a classic look, pair a leopard cotton sweater with a red button-up shirt underneath and a champagne-colored high-waisted skirt. Finish the outfit with a black patent waist belt. For a bargain that will keep you in style and your wallet in check, pair a red dress with leopard pumps and a leopard clutch. For a bargain on the wild style, check out Steve Madden's leopard pumps.

Guys - Keeping a sleek, comfortable and handsome look is not a problem with Banana Republic's spring line for men. Maintain a comfortable feel for school by pairing Banana Republic's "solid long-sleeve fitted crew tee" in fire red with the "double-layered stripe-hooded jacket." Combine some of Express' line of slim, low-rise, straight leg, embroidered jeans for a sleek look.

This Week's Lust

Girls - To find a sleek and sexy look while maintaining a classy approach, try pairing Bebe's "sexy one-shoulder dress" with leopard pumps. This look will say a lot about you by giving off a wild style with the shoes, but will keep a business-formal look with the dress. For wild style with a luxurious feel, step into Christian Louboutin leopard platform pumps.

Guys - For the gentlemen's lust of the week, Affliction tees top the A-list for a comfortable and artsy look. Pair one of Affliction's graphic tees with the Express jeans as seen in this week's must, and you have a whole other look without the cost of another pair of jeans.
