Typecast: 5 Looks for the Budget-Conscious Bon Vivant

Matthew Wexler READ TIME: 3 MIN.

Fall is the defining moment in anyone's wardrobe. As temperatures cool down, you can think about actually wearing clothes again. EDGE asked lifestyle blogger Andrew Villagomez to offer his take on four archetypes -- but, as we all know, you can't harness a fabulous queer. Mix and match to create your own unique style. It's your defining moment.

THE BUDGET-CONSCIOUS BON VIVANT
Fashion forward doesn't have to break the bank, especially with all that newly minted student debt looming over your head. With a keen eye, style comes at all price points.

Uniqlo SPRZ NY Basquiat Short Sleeve Graphic T-shirt
Part of Uniqlo's fashion and culture initiative focused around its Fifth Avenue New York City location, 1980s artist Jean-Michel Basquiat's artwork inspires this bold, street-style tee that can be dressed up or down. ($14.90)

H&M Denim Shirt Jacket
Washed denim in a straight cut forgoes slim tailoring in favoring of the increasingly popular relaxed fit. Perfect to throw in your weekender bag as a neutral layering piece -- and it's 100 percent cotton. ($49.99)

RVCA Week-End Pants
These slack pants are perfect for skateboarders or startups. The slim-straight cut looks great on most builds and the polyester/cotton blend will hold up in the wash. ($50)

Vans Canvas Old Skool
This classic skate shoe features Vans' recognizable side strip, canvas upper and that signature waffle outsole. We love it in True White, but go to town with your own custom design and sport your individual style. (True White, $50; Custom, $90)

Express Color Pop Studded Square Sunglasses
Throw some shade with these glare-free sunglasses. At first glance, the black exterior offers classic sun protection, but look closer and you'll discover the duotone white interior. ($29.90)
