Stylish Saints: Daryl

Stylish Saints will highlight the personal style of men and women who represent Christ while looking incredibly fashionable. Peep the breakdown of some of their looks, and find out how you can boost your wardrobe so you too can be a stylish saint!

Name: Daryl Wright

Age: 23

Location: Queens, NY

What inspires his style: "I just try to stay comfortable in what I wear because it's a reflection of who I am. Fashion to me is about letting your clothes say who you are without you having to. So I never want to seem like I'm trying too hard because then I'm not being myself. I dress to express, not to impress."

What I like about Daryl's style: Daryl's style definitely reflects a well-dressing veteran, not just someone who hopped on the style swag bandwagon a few months ago. He knows what works well for his look, and jazzes up common outfits with accessories that the common man probably wouldn't consider. Let's check out his use of accessories in the following pics:

Casual

Here Daryl pairs a red knit beanie with large readers for a nice casual fall look. The beanie matches well with his red plaid shirt, but the colors aren't overkill. The half-rimmed readers are less harsh on the eyes than full plastic frames, so if you look super geeky in every pair of readers you've tried on consider a half-rimmed pair.

Semi-Formal

Here Daryl keeps his color palette muted but adds excitement to his outfit in the patterns of his accessories. The band on his fedora has a similar stripe pattern as his vest, so they complement each other. Since he keeps his tie simple in a solid color, he's left with the choice to spice things up with a polka-dotted pocket square which adds flair to this muted palette.

Formal

Now I'll be the first to admit that I'm a sucker for bow ties. But this right here? This WINS. This purple and gold patterned bow tie is 1. in a wonderful color combination (purple and yellow are complementary colors) and 2. tied beautifully. If you are going to wear a bow tie, you have to tie it, because the imperfections in the tying method gives the look way more character than a clip on. And did you think I was going to ignore this bold pocket square?! The square is what takes this look to another level, and only someone with Daryl's confidence and (for lack of a better word) swag could pull this off.
