Into the Woods

In order to woo the dirty hippie at work, you’ve been carrying a canteen and talking loudly about Burning Man.

But your preppy aesthetic is a dead giveaway.

Look the part in a getup from Beckerman’s fall collection. Based on a cabin fever theme, the chic lumberjack garb mixes masculine plaid fabrics and feminine shapes.

Talk topography in the high-waisted fringe miniskirt and yellow plaid tux blazer, throw on the plaid button-down and rub two sticks together, scare the bears away in a loose tee, iodize your water wearing a black and white checkered petticoat, and save the yellow cascade dress for your first date by the campfire.

At which time you admit your look is merely a facade.

And hope that cute trumps brute.
