I’m excited to be writing this post today because lately I’ve been having guys ask me for a solution to their shopping problem. Not that they shop too much, but they either don’t have time to shop for themselves or they simply hate to shop. It’s totally feasible these days with online shopping bigger and more intimidating than ever and time being less and less on our side. A lot of guys I meet want to look good but don’t really know where to start. I have a simple solution for you, sirs!
FiveFour is a subscription based company that caters to each individual member’s style. You sign up for $60/month, fill out your personal profile that determines what type of style you prefer (it works even if you don’t know what you’re talking about) and a stylist hand picks items for you worth over $120. A box is shipped directly to your door with items that will compliment your personal style. If something doesn’t fit, send it back for a different size. They’ve taken the headache out of driving to the mall, finding parking and dealing with the pushy salespeople.
My friend Luke has been a subscriber to the brand for a little over a year and I’ve seen his level of style change completely. He went from being a normal guy wearing clothes that had been in his closet for years to a stylish dude who’s constantly updating his wardrobe with current pieces that are made well.
I got my hands on this classic button down oxford shirt and varsity jacket from the brand and had to share with you guys.
In the springtime, it’s essential to be prepared for whatever. In LA, the daytime will be 80 sweat-inducing degrees and then as soon as the sun sets the temperature drops 20 degrees and you’re cold wearing what you were hot in 2 hours ago. A nice lightweight jacket like this one is a great piece to have that can be dressed up or down. Throwing it on over a button up creates a preppy aesthetic that fits in mostly anywhere.
Comfortable shorts, low-pro sneakers like these Forrest Gump Nikes, a white button up oxford and varsity jacket is a classic combo that’s never going to go out of style. It’s one of those outfits that you’ll see in pictures of your Grandpa when he was your age…that’s a dead giveaway to cool, in my opinion.
Never be afraid of the classics, gents!
What are some of your favorite classic combinations in springtime?
Stay happy, my friends!
