Nell - Sensible (and Smart) StyleNell is a veteran Goodwill shopper, as well as a guy who likes to create his own unique style. When shopping, Nell takes into consideration all the items that could work to create a masculine layered look. We put together this awesome ensemble using some of Nell’s Goodwill finds, in addition to a few pieces that I found. We started with jeans from Artful Dodger, a white plaid button down from Orvis and a suede Banana Republic vest—ALL from Nell’s own wardrobe. |
Jason - Eye for StyleJason is all about workplace dressing with an eye for style. As our model search winner last year, he represents all that Goodwill can offer a guy who wants to step up his fashion game at the office. Menswear shopping at Goodwill could easily start with a designer-quality dress shirt like this lavender and white-striped Chaps brand going for just $5.99. |
Maureen - Fresh & ColorfulMaureen is showing us another side of the denim jacket. Using a casual piece like this dark denim jacket from Express ($5.99) to literally dress down this print frock done in blue and green, helps bridge the journey from casual to classy. |
Dale - Polished & Perfectly CasualDale has a perfectly casual, but polished summer look going here. You know we all love our t-shirts and this green, black and white striped cotton t-shirt dress ( $5.99) hits all the right vibes. It’s simple, comfortable and fashionable all at the same time. |
Robert is a great dad, as well as a business person. He is fun and free-wheeling and he shows it in this casually dressed up look we put together just for him. It illustrates how easy a dress shirt can make an otherwise ho-hum look become a little more special. |
Makeena - Work Day to Date NightMakeena looks awesome in this pulled together outfit that could go to work with you, or could just as easily transition into date night. We started with a simple black t-shirt that was from our model’s own closet. A great t-shirt that fits well, in a neutral color can always be the basis for any great ensemble. They layer under other items perfectly, and create a great backdrop for pieces that need to stand out, like this fabulous skirt from Ann Taylor Loft in a geometric print pattern. |
Robert, our model this month, illustrates that casual and cool looks for men really do exist! With this outfit we showcase texture, pattern and layering, which are all key elements to pulling together great style. It starts with this black-and-white check Claiborne for men button down shirt for $4.99. TIP: You just can’t go wrong with a shirt like this since black-and-white never goes out of style. We added in some black jeans by Lee, which were a steal of a deal at $5.99, and are another go-to piece for a guy interested in looking a little more contemporary. |
Trish - Workday Fun with Flair!Trish is wearing a fun workday look that has some flair! You just can’t go wrong with separates that when combined create great and different looks like this! Here we have an IZOD button-down blouse in black ($3.99), paired with a black floral Ralph Lauren skirt ($6.99). We decided to pattern mix here by staying within the color scheme, but giving it some zing with a houndstooth-patterned blazer, also by Ralph Lauren ($9.99). |
Robert - Great Look, Great Smile Robert is a guy who always seems to be smiling! That’s because he likes the way he looks, and it's one of the things that guided me in choosing items for his look this month—along with his confident outgoing attitude. So to pull this off, we mixed it up a little bit with a black-and-white houndstooth pattern t-shirt from Alternative Earth, that went along with a pale-yellow cardigan in a lightweight cotton by Express. |
Maureen is also illustrating the power of color this month. Pink/coral is a marvelous tone on most women, and finding a perfect tunic top like the one shown here from Express ($5.99) is key to great summer style. |
Jason, our Amazing Looks Model Contest winner for 2015, looks summer-party ready with a twist! We’ve paired his casual upscale look with some serious dress shoes! I wanted to show you that a great pair of men’s dress shoes is never something to pass up at Goodwill! |
Sabrina - Vintage Floral Look
Sabrina is rocking one of the top trends for spring and summer - the vintage floral look. What is a vintage floral you may ask? Well, this floral pattern is on a dark background and it’s a standalone pattern in that you could just isolate one of the floral bouquets! |
Damara - Mixing It Up with Bright Colors
Damara, is one bright and sunny lady! Her personality shines through no matter what she wears, so that’s why I complemented her disposition with some bright fashion choices. Mixing patterns seems like it would be tough but it really isn’t. |
Jeff - Classic Twist on Sportswear Jeff heads into fall with a classic twist on the sportswear look. We started with a pair of GAP khakis in a tan color and added a J Crew button down shirt in a blue-and-white check pattern that plays well off of the plain pants. |
Matt - Sport and Style Our model Matt shows us all how to wear a sport coat with style! Navy blue is always a great alternative to black or grey, and works hard for the guy wearing it all year round! Here we have a Haggar-brand vintage jacket with classic detailing like patch pockets and brass buttons. |
