"In LA I like to dress up in the same style that I would wear when I lived in NY—even in the summer I’m still wearing leggings (the ones I'm wearing today are actually maternity clothes) or pants with sneakers."

"I got my dress from Korea, the jewelry is all from Hong Kong and my nails I did in Shanghai. It took five hours to do. I like to dress up, I love fashion and I wear high heels every day.”

“My shirt is from Zara’s women’s collection—their women’s stuff fit me better, their pants and everything. These pants are women’s as well. I got them for $10 from H&M. The women’s apparel in a lot of stores looks better than the men’s—it’s more fashion forward.”

"I may be the most fashionable person in IT. When I’m in the office I have to dress down a bit, but I definitely maintain my style and play around with my suits. I’m usually on fashion websites all day. That will probably be my next career move.”

“I got the boots from a Kenneth Cole outlet and the pants are from Fossil and the suspenders came with them. I paired it with a plain white tee—it was the only thing that was clean.”

“I got this shirt from Urban Outfitters, I don’t shop there too often, but I found this and took out all the embroidery tags because it was a little busy at first. I’m more about just letting the garment speak for itself. The floral print on it is not too feminine for a guy to wear.”
