Clint's Favorite Item:
Khaki pants
"They can add an expensive feel to an outfit, but also look great as a casual style too!”
Clint's looks resembles that of a college guy and what he would wear. Like most students, he doesn't have a lot of time to worry about what he's going to put together style-wise, so Bjorn pulled out this Heavy Rotation t-shirt with a great graphic design to start our outfit. A collegiate wardrobe is always based on a t-shirt! Khakis are a real workhorse when it comes to slacks; they can be dressed up or down or in-between, as we have illustrated here. To add a little prep school fun, Bjorn tops it all off with a Woodmere blazer in a tan Herringbone wool pattern. Accessories include black Italian leather loafers. The nerdy black glasses, and the belt that pulls it all together is Clint's favorite item. Hip and comfortable is the word for this simple but casually cool look.

- Heavy Rotation black cotton t-shirt – 2.99
- Woodmere tan herringbone wool blazer - 6.99

James's Favorite Item:
U.S. Military Tanker Boots
"They're very comfortable and there aren't any laces for me to worry about. I don't want to look like anyone else, so I try to include unique and funky items.”
James represents the modern urban man. He isn't afraid to mix it all up and come up with his own unique look. Utilizing only his fashion forward military boots as a base, Bjorn started layering it all together starting with the Axist slacks done in a dark chocolate brown with tan pinstripes. Did you know that pinstripes, plaids and checks, when done in monochromatic tones, are neutral and can be combined quite easily? To keep that theme going, he added the black Haggar button down shirt and set it off with a blue, cream and brown striped necktie. As previously mentioned, the houndstooth pattern of the all silk Gino Rossi sport coat acts as a neutral. The other darker tones really hlep make the texture and pattern pop! Last but not least, James himself added in his black leather studded belt, and chain wallet for up-to-the-minute city style. This looks is a great example of tonal combinations creating sophisticated ensembles.

- Haggar button-down black shirt - 3.99
- Axist brown with tan pinstripe slacks - 3.99
- Gino Rossi silk houndstooth blazer - 6.99
