Mission Makeover

Basketball shorts, sneakers, white tee; we all know the typical college guy look. There's nothing wrong with the laid-back style, but when graduation rolls around, the look won't garner the same attention in the real world as it does in class. Eric Strauss--a SEBS Junior--was among the collegiate masses in his fraternity sweats and generic gym sneakers until InsideBeat--with the help of Strauss's girlfriend Lisa--gave him a more sophisticated look.

"I never really cared that much about what wore, but I've definitely changed my mind when it comes to clothes," Strauss told us.

It isn't hard to put together a more streamlined look; a dark-wash jean is more modern and age-appropriate than a light, faded shade, and dark colored tops such as navy and charcoal grey look good on just about every skin-tone. For guys with red or pink in their skin wearing a warmer hued shirt only makes blotchiness more apparent. The right sneakers go a long way in the eyes of girls who pay close attention to a guy's shoes. Any kind of shoe that isn't a plain white gym shoe from the ‘90s, or a Croc usually works.

"It's pretty easy to look good, you just have to know where to find good deals. I love the guys clothes at H&M, and American Eagle always has good sales," added Lisa.

We hope Strauss continues with his new look, proving to college guys everywhere that it really isn't that difficult, or that much of a hassle to look good.
