P&P goes to Darwin! One half of the newly developed, fun-loving duo at
Primped and Primed has headed to the Territory’s Top End to escape Sydney’s
winter chills.
To introduce myself, my name is Marvic
Casingal. I am 18 years old and – despite being older than my other
half/partner in crime – see myself as the younger ‘brother’ to the sophisticated Sharon.
I am also the official head of all things menswear and
will be covering sartorial trends in male fashion, runway coverage
and personal style.
So we’ve all heard of that expression “dress
of the occasion”; whether you’re off to the beach, the races or a cute night
out with a special someone, this good old saying rings true in almost all
instances of planning your outfit. As much as we’d all love to wear our
favourite pair of jeans and sneakers to our best friends wedding, the truth of
the matter is you just can’t. To avoid looking like Miley Cyrus at the VMAs and sticking out like a sore thumb, it is essential to dress according to the
event, the weather and your personal style.
This get-up is a great example
of dressing accordingly – considering the 33 degree heat, the at-home dinner
party etiquette and my go-to looks. What would typically call for jeans, a
button-up shirt and some nice oxfords, in Darwin, calls for a clever mixture
of comfort, class and effortless cool. The all-important 3 C’s.
My love for a monochrome colour palette and cropped trousers is
paramount – so of course I had to dress according to my signature look. But to
spice things up and opt for the added points in comfort, I swapped out the
oxfords and button-ups for a good old pair of black Birkenstocks with a perforated tee.
As a look which a culmination
of planning, thought and fashion know-how, this outfit is a display of my
personal style, dressing for the occasion and navigating through the many
problems we fashionistas/fashionistos face. #thefabulousfashionlife. So good
luck all you beautiful individuals – think comfort, think classy and dress to
kill.
