Julie — Strong for Spring, Soft for Summer

Julie's Favorite Item:
Coach Wedges

"I love the brand. I buy what I love.”

 


On Julie, Bjorn shows us how to layer items that you wouldn’t necessarily think go together.

The Rena Rowan structured jacket has that all-important “military look” that is so on trend now. He decided to pair a bright floral strapless dress by Micha with it to lessen the severe lines of the jacket. It definitely makes the entire ensemble playful, flirty, and fashionable. Accessories here include a wonderful black bracelet, great sunglasses, and a black and white polka dot purse by Nine West.

Complimenting the ensemble is her favorite item: a fabulous pair of Coach leather wedges!!

Think outside the box when it comes to pairing blazers with other items. The look here is fresh and shows that floral and girly can go with structured anytime.
Removing her jacket for a different look, Bjorn simply adds some dramatic white dangle earrings, and swaps out the dotted purse for a pink handbag. That’s all it took to transform the outfit from chilly spring to warm weather summer in a flash.

Matt — Triple Threat

Matt's Favorite Item:
Agave jeans

"Great fit. It’s hard to find jeans that fit and these do.

 


Bjorn had some fun with model Matt’s outfit here. He built the entire outfit with Matt’s own Agave brand jeans. From there he added a cool black and white checked hat, graphic print t-shirt that had some color splashed across it, and white shoes from J.A.B. International.

Removing the hat and glasses, he slipped a vintage formal jacket on Matt to create more of a “Miami” party look.

Switching out the jackets for a J. Riggings dark blue sport coat makes the outfit take on a totally different look. The big factors at work here are the graphic t-shirt and the white shoes. They work so well with spring and summer ensembles that they can be worn throughout the season with style!

“Finding a great jacket or two is what every guy should aspire to when shopping at the Goodwill store”, says Bjorn.
