When I look back at all of my crushes, husband included, they've all been a little bit hyperactive, hell-bent on getting a laugh and perhaps a little too in touch with their inner boy.  I can't help myself, I love the class clown.  In my opinion, guys (well, people in general) are best when they aren't taking themselves too seriously.  I thought this look from the Banana Republic runway was cute and casual and I absolutely love the unexpected pop of colour which immediately adds an element of fun to the outfit. Though we're smack dab in the midst of summer, the nights are getting cool again and a vibrant, lightweight sweater is a perfect transitional piece as we head into fall.  Plus, I love throwing on my husband's slouchy sweaters over skinny jeans or shorts so we get an extra bang for our fashion buck.   Real Life Runway Tip:  Brights can make men look juvenile when worn head-to-toe so the key with pulling off the look is to anchor a few vibrant pieces with neutrals.  Stick with khaki pants and neutral footwear and then have fun from the waist up.  If you're feeling brave and want your lower half to have some fun, (wardrobe-related fun, of course), go for bright pants or shorts and then stick with neutrals on top.  A little boyish charm goes a long way, don't you think?
