Women's Outfit | Men's Outfit

For this week’s Stylist Spotlight, we thought we’d give the guys a little bit of love! Apparel stylist Mike V. shows us his take on effortlessly cool style with his two hand-picked ensembles. 

The men’s ensemble is similar to what Mike himself would wear on any given day; it’s casual with a bit of country flair thanks to the cool western shirt. He chose one of his favorite shoes, the classic Onitsuka Tiger, for its low-key, vintage-inspired style. “I love the low profile and ease of these sneakers!” says Mike.

We also asked him a few questions to get to know him and his sense of style a little bit more:

What do you do at Zappos?

M:  I am an apparel stylist. I mainly focus on jeans, pants and some other apparel categories for both men and women.

What are a couple of fun facts about yourself? 

M: I love Navarre Beach in Florida…I wish I could be on the beach designing my own line one day. But I do love Kentucky! I am also a big MMA fan. I root for Joe Stevenson and GSP.

Describe your personal style:

M: It depends on the season! In the spring, I am always in shorts and a tee with my Gucci shoes. In the summer, I love beach and pool wear, so it’s a lot of swim shorts and of course, sunglasses. In the fall, I’m all about my jeans and boots. Then in the winter, I love a good structured coat and lots of sweaters. Oh, and I love pea coats!

What are your top 4 favorite brands at Zappos.com?

G-Star, Hugo Boss, UFC, and Obey.

1. Barbour Break Cap Toe Boot, 2. Barbour Buckle Hi Boot, 3. Barbour Wing Tip

One look at the impressive Rockport collaboration with Barbour, and it’s easy to see how the almost 118-year-old British clothing company inspired the very core of the collection’s design.   

There are three very cool styles in the collection: the Buckle Hi Boot, the Breaktrail Cap Toe and the Wing Tip. Rockport infuses their signature comfort into each shoe with adiPRENE® technology.

Another special feature of this collection is the CF Stead suede used. CF Stead is one of the most respected tanners of suede leather in the world, making these styles even more distinctive.
