Business attire is a must for any student that recently graduated from college. If the light bulb is still flickering, you can learn a thing or two from Mike. Honestly, just check out the suit! Jos. A. Bank offers high quality suits and separates for reasonable prices. Not only is Mike wearing a high quality suit, he paid a little extra for a tailor to make some minor adjustments.  From the looks of things, you can tell that his tailor or seamstress is probably his best friend.

Did we forget to mention that Mike is a blogger as well! If you get a chance, go check out his work here: gentlemansworld.blogspot.com.

We at the UnregisteredStyle endorse Mike and all of his future endeavors! What do you think about his outfit?

 

After 5: Floral Blazer

“Style is primarily a matter of instinct.” -Bill Blass

Whether you believe it or not, working in the education system is a very challenging career field. Teachers work round the clock to update student work, grade assignments every night, make phone calls home, and deal with occasional behavior problems.

With all these tasks, an educator may need an outlet after work. If you are that teacher, or know that teacher, that needs a couple drinks after work, you can’t come to Happy Hour looking a mess. No one wants to see a hard working man or woman look in shambles after work. Well, if you are a young, expereinced teacher like Ms. Kira Brown, you never let your career interfere with your wardrobe.

For this feature, we would like introduce everyone to Kira!

Below are some photos from our shoot with Ms. Kira. Check out her “After 5” look below!

Kira works as a 3rd grade teacher, and had this to say about whats it’s like to teach the youngest and brightest of minds, “Teaching is the profession that makes other professions possible: I change the world one student at a time.”

We couldn’t agree more Kira! While keeping her students in mind, Kira has to embody the essence of a role model through her actions and wardrobe. However, Once the bell strikes 3:30 pm, it’s a different story.

If you haven’t noticed, Kira is very good at transitioning from work to play in her “After 5” attire.

“I love the flower print blazer because it’s different and it gives the outfit pizzazz!” -Kira

When Kira is not educating the youth, she is constantly pushing the fashion envelope. In this particular case, Kira is making a bold statement with her “almost” all white outfit. For instance, most people fear wearing white in general. For Kira, she has no problem showing off her curves without fear of getting her clothes dirty. Furthermore, Kira’s fitted crop top and mid-length pencil skirt compliment here shape very well.

Over the crop top, Kira threw on her favorite floral print blazer. We at the UnregisteredStyle love the blazer! The bold floral prints add dimension and color the the overall outfit.

Lets not forger about her heels. These mulit-colored, lace up heels were the must-have shoe this season.

Brands: SeonMichel

In life, we often think that our future has been mapped out for us. Although there are a number of paths we can take, we ultimately arrive to our final destination. Now, whether or not you know where you will end up, is a completely different story.

Seonne Baylor, the creator of a bow tie accessory line, has envisioned a successful future for her brand. Known as SeonMichel, this accessory line creates and sells fully personalized bow ties to their customers.

For this special post, we had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Seonne to discuss some exclusive details about SeonMichel! Check out the full feature below.

It’s funny how some of the best things happen by accident. In Seonne’s case, SeonMichel was created by pure coincidence. She states, “My brand was created by accident. I wanted to be more fashionable and I decided to start wearing bowties more. I went to a few stores that had some nice designs but the prices were outrages, from there I started making my own. I wore my own designs so much that others wanted to buy the same designs and from there the brand was born.”

In order to distinguish SeonMichel from other bow tie distributors, Seonne relies on specific details. More specifically, each bow tie is personalized to its owner. For further clarification, Seonne makes the following statement, “I offer good quality bowties. I rarely produce the same design so the consumer is getting an exclusive bowtie. People love original designs; no one wants to look like the guy across the street. My brand can give you the originality you are looking for.”

Yes, this means each bow tie is different. Meaning that SeonMichel explicitly focuses on detail and quality.

 “I really strive to be different from the norm of plain silks and cottons. Who doesn’t like leather or suede I know I do, those materials last longer and stand out especially if it’s being used to make a bowtie. Those types of materials are used for shoes and jackets etc, but not for bowties.” -Seonne

Right now, SeonMichel bowties are sold out of Philadelphia, PA. In the next few years, we expect to see SeonMichel bowtie’s sold in major department stores on the  east coast.

If you are interested in a personalized bowtie, feel free to contact Seonne at bowtieslp@gmail.com!

Men’s Style Mondays

With just one week until Labor Day , Bryce Lennon decided to put together one of his favorite summer looks for this week’s #MensStyleMondays post.

Before that “No White Until After Labor Day” rule takes in effect this season, Bryce wanted to wear most of his white shirts, pants, and shoes before next week. Just take a look at his Pre-Labor Day outfit below.

Blazer: GAP | T-Shirt: ASOS | Pants: American Eagle | Shoes: Urban Outfitters

“Forget fall and winter, this season is all about summer layering for me. It’s all about t-shirts and blazers. Just throw on my fitted, scoop neck t-shirt, roll up my blazer sleeves, and my summer look is complete.” -Bryce Lennon

Bryce Lennon admits that the navy blazer is the go-to item for most of his looks. Think about it! It’s so versatile that it goes with almost any outfit!. Just take a look at Bryce’s outfit for starters. He paired his blazer with a deep scoop neck, a colored pair of chinos, and all white shoes.

We at the UnregisteredStyle endorse this look. While the blazer served its layering purpose, the pants add the perfect pop of color that doesn’t steal too much shine from the other articles of clothing.
