Red-white-and-blue is the new black.<\/p>\n
In response to the economy (yes, we’re tired of hearing that, too), numerous American designers are going back to their roots and exploring stripped-down, basic sportswear<\/a> — and several have taken the road of Americana, to a time where life was more simple and things were always as they seemed.<\/p>\n There was a glimpse at the early days of American football at Alexander Wang, and there was as usual a strong all-American look at Ralph Lauren, the bastion of American sportswear.<\/p>\n To work this trend into your daily wardrobe, we recommend picking up some well-made premium denim with a slightly slouchy, worn-in look. \u00c2\u00a0Pepper your color palette with various shades of khaki, cornflower blue, and indigo, keeping hair and makeup to a minimum for a fresh feel. \u00c2\u00a0This look is all about cool, classic ease, but remember to pay attention to fit and proportion in order to avoid looking sloppy.<\/p>\n
