Style Muse: Austin Butler

Austin Butler is really blowing up these days because of his role as Sebastian Kydd on The Carrie Diaries as well as him being Vanessa Hudgens' significant other. Ladies, he's not just another hottie patottie, he reads, likes Alt-J and he has an impeccable sense of style. 


Maybe it's the hair or face or built, but he sure does look smashing in everything he dons. The first look isn't a favourite but brownie points for looking put together, although I would prefer him not showing so much ankle. The next three looks are spot on. It could be the biker jackets, but then again. Boys, a foolproof look is evidently a white shirt, biker jacket and a pair of well fitted jeans. A shirt and tie combo is well received as well. 


Even on his casual days out with Vanessa, he looks incredible. Notice how in the first look he paired denim on denim but of different hues of blue? Do that. Never ever match the same shade of denim together. NEVER. Notice how in the second and third look he wears white underneath dark outerwear? It really is that simple. All you need is a basic t-shirt that fits you well over a cardigan and you're good to go. Throw on a beanie and shades for good measure. 


His colour scheme isn't impressive, but he looks presentable. I know layering a t-shirt, shirt, hoodie and biker jacket would never here in Malaysia, but try layering a white shirt over a denim shirt/jacket. Guys rarely pull off the whole necklace look, but he looks really good in the second look. For an everyday-off-to-college look, opt for the fourth look. Do make sure you pick a pair of nice shoes to complete the entire look.


Urbanscapes is this wekeend (FINALLY) and if you're at a loss of what to wear, take a note out of Austin's book. Muscle tees may not be easy to pull off for most guys, so try swapping that for a t-shirt. Throw on your favourite pair of sunnies, a cap and a pair of sneakers.


Personally, I love seeing a guy in a printed shirt (second look), it's equivalent to a breath of fresh air. I don't know why you guys don't sport one as often as you should. It doesn't have to be a long sleeved shirt, a short sleeved one is even better in my opinion. 


For formal events, sticking to the usual white button down, skinny black tie, black blazer and slacks blend isn't always a bad thing. For something different, try out the third look. You can hardly go wrong by mixing solid colours altogether. 


This look right here just needed some appreciation. I couldn't find a full outfit picture without some fans by his side, so this shall do. How does one make a t-shirt and blazer duo look good, I'm baffled but thoroughly amazed.
