Wearable Women Wednesday with Antonella

Posted on April 9, 2015 by Ethan

I love when someone has not just one style, but a variety of different styles. Antonella is no exception. When I first got to know her, I was surprised that she was actually interested in vintage fashion. As we kept talking I realized that she was a fellow fashionista and I’m glad we finally get to have her as our Wearable Women Wednesday! In this edition, we get to feature three distinctly different outfits from Antonella to show that her style isn’t confined to just one type.

The Art of the T-Shirt

Posted on April 8, 2015 by Ethan

One big question I get asked often is “do you even wear t-shirts”. Usually the question implies two things: that I am incapable of dressing down and that a t-shirt is reserved for being ultra-casual or lazy. This post is designed to tell you that this isn’t the case. A t-shirt isn’t just for “bum days” or athletic wear; this important piece of clothing can be dressed down or dressed up at will and will always help you look fantastic. Today, we will talk about how a t-shirt supposed to fit and show you eight different ways you can get the most out of it.

Trunk Club: A College Student’s Review of a Personal Style Service

Posted on March 31, 2015 by Ethan

I normally don’t need help finding clothes that suit me, because I think I know what works best for me. What’s interesting, however, is learning what other people think looks good on you. Everybody has got opinions and sometimes its best to use them and broaden your sartorial horizons. That’s where Trunk Club comes in. It’s a mens outfitting service that sends you clothes based on your personal style to try on at home and keep what you like. After chatting with Emily, my personal Trunk Club stylist my first trunk came in.

How to Dress for College: Monochromatic Style

Posted on March 17, 2015 by Ethan

Everyone had those “color block” days in high school. Heck, it carries over today. It’s easy just picking all of the same color and wearing it to class to give a monochromatic look. Here we explore taking those color block ideas and turning them into something that can be mature and cool to wear around your campus! Just remember two main ideas when pulling this off:

1. Wear differing shades in your articles of clothing

2. Use patterns to set each piece apart!

Street x Sprezza takes Dapper Day Spring 2015

Dapper Day is a bi-annual event that takes place at Disneyland and Disneyworld. As annual pass holders, Tim and I are always there every year and this time we brought along our friend Spencer! Now, Dapper Day was inspired by the fact that concept art of Disneyland was made in the 1950’s and back in those days, people still dressed up! For our outfits, we decided to go a bit earlier and be the most dapper and well dressed we could be.

Styles of the The Great Los Angeles Air Raid of 1942

Posted on February 22, 2015 by Ethan

The “Battle of Los Angeles” is one that is shrouded in controversy. In late February, 1942 there was a rumored enemy attack which resulted in machine gun and anti-aircraft guns being fired which resulted in panic and conspiracies. However, in 2015 it’s simply an event to celebrate veterans, the armed forces, and the 1940’s. At the event, I saw vintage collectors, reenactors, performers, and just normal people getting into the vintage spirit. Here, we show off some of the best looks from the event!
