Hello internet. I've written for Clickege before (mostly in our style section), so if you want to know a little more about my taste and personality, you should head over here. It may seem strange that I'm making such an introduction so far after my first article, but don't worry, this post is quite different from the others.
Clickege is two guys (myself and Logan), writing and posting content that we find interesting and sharing for others to see. This series, Wyatt's Style Guide, is my attempt at fashion blogging. I'm not sure if I want the style section to become my own personal blog (like this post), articles I write about fashion (all of my previous posts), or a mixture of the two (what I'm leaning towards.) I have some really cool garments and clothing pieces that I'd like to style and show off on Clickege. You may be asking yourself "Isn't there enough fashion bloggers in the world" or "Why is Wyatt doing this." I don't totally know the answer to either of those questions, but I'm majoring in Fashion Merchandising at my University and would like to put my talents to use. I'm planning on showcasing a variety of styles and price ranges here on my fashion guide. Hopefully this is the first of many posts like this, so cut a novice like myself some lack and enjoy.

Essentials for a Cool Summer Day
Summer is the season for the least amount of clothing possible. But, there are those days when the sky is overcast and the temperature is below 65 degrees (Fahrenheit). Personally, these are my favorite days of the year. It's easy to enjoy activities outside and not sweat profusely. Below is going to be an outfit that's my go-to on these cooler days during the summer.
Palace. My favorite brand to wear. The London skate brand produces quality streetwear that combines awesome style and a comfortable fit. Trying to up your style can be difficult in the summer as it's much harder to layer and think about the complexities of your outfit. A nice, laid-back look such as this is very easy to put together and shows that you give thought to how you present yourself. Look below for a dissection of the outfit and where you can buy the look.
Adidas' Stan Smiths. By far my favorite sneaker for under $100, and one of my favorite shoes to wear regardless of price. It's quality is dependable and very comfortable, and the clean classic look provides endless outfit options to pair them with. Buy them here if you're interested.
One of my recommendations when it comes to jeans is that you don't need an over-abundance. Only a couple of quality pairs and cuts in different colors should do the job. A pair of light blue denim jeans is essential because of its versatility and social acceptance (yes, you can wear them to family parties without receiving judgmental looks and questions). Shop cheaper options here at Zara and higher quality options here at Acne Studios.
I'll spare you from another rant about my love for Palace, but in short this t-shirt is amazingly comfortable and stylish, plus it's a nice compliment-getter. Look for new releases at palaceskateboards.com and shop here at Grailed for second-hand Palace t-shirts and gear.
Beanies aren't essential for the summertime, but are still acceptable to wear on cooler days. Investing in a dope beanie in the colder months is a major key because it's something that you could wear every day. Palace still has this beanie and others on sale for $36, so go take advantage of that and keep your head warm in the coming months.
