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.

We asked Amanda a couple of questions to get to know more about her and her personal style:

I splurged on myself and bought a pair of Frye Paige Tall Riding boot for the fall!

Ithaca is gorges!

My team and I traveled out to Ithaca, NY a couple of weeks ago and we got some great shots for our upcoming fall catalog and personality pages.

The people are really what made the trip such a success (and so much fun)! Who would have thought you could find waterfalls, a covered bridge and rolling hills all in one place? Such a hidden gem.

Stay tuned to see all the videos and photos from our fall shoot coming soon!

She’s unconventional, fashion-forward and always ahead of the curve. The hipster is a breed of style maven that loves fashion, but is never a slave to it. She blazes her own path and loves to do interesting combinations to make a style all her own.

Today’s featured Hipster look is a modern iteration of the rocker chick. The bold striped dress paired with a sleek leather jacket adds up to an edgy yet wearable look.

The Classic Man is timeless, polished and refined. He’s all about more tailored styles when he’s dressed up and clean basics when he’s dressed down.

Our stylists put together this handsome business-casual attire that suits the Classic Man’s impeccably timeless taste. A simple V-neck sweater over a plaid button-down shirt and crisp khaki pants equal a great ensemble for a lunch date or business meeting.
