What he wore: A navy puffer vest, turtleneck sweater, denim jeans, and Puma sneakers.
Style tip: Stay warm and comfy with your solid color puffer vest. Remember, this look works with the right sweater. A lightweight, ribbed, turtleneck will do the trick.

For this week’s Style Spotlight feature, we had an opportunity to link up with the “Confidence Queen” herself, Stephanie (aka @steph.thegreat). When she’s not helping brands build their social media presence, Stephanie loves to play dress up in front of the cameras. Below, she answers questions about fashion, style, and everything in between:
Where are you from?
Northeast Philadelphia.
How do you define your personal style? What or who are your some of your style inspirations?
I would define my style as feminine, yet edgy and bold! I get a lot of my inspiration from my life experiences and how I was brought up. I’m a proud Haitian (The first free black republics, and the first country to ban slavery), and with that, I have to be bold! I already have a bold personality, and I’m going to give you a lot to look at anyway.
What are the essential pieces you must have in your closet?
My black turtleneck! I’m addicted! I have so many!
In addition, I can’t go without my black leather jacket, knee-high boots, and black suede pants. They’re all staples in my closet.
Where do you shop?
You may not believe me, but I shop at Wal-Mart, Amazon, Fashion Nova, Primark, and thrift stores. I love thrift stores and Wal-Mart!
Describe your personal style in three words?
Bold, fun, and risky!
Any fashion related tips?
But wait…there’s more! Don’t be afraid to do something that someone of your “size” or “height” should not do. Don’t be afraid to take risks. For example, you can always wear two bold statement pieces instead of one. There’s always room for more!

What she wore: A two-piece black dress and snakeskin heels.
Style tip: As if we needed another reason to wear a long length, two-piece black dress. Pair with an animal or reptile print shoe to pull the overall look together.

Hey everyone! For this week’s Style Spotlight, we sat down with Isaac (aka @IsaacBreese) of STITCHED: a menswear brand that combines vintage, tailored clothing and streetwear. We first connected through Instagram, and we were immediately impressed by his personal style and entrepreneur background. Get to know more about this Temple grad below:
Where are you from?
Southwest Philadelphia.
How do you define your personal style? What or who are your some of your style inspirations?
My personal style is vintage, retro, and a bit of classic with a little new school (I try to combine the two). Also, I like to focus more on shapes than colors. I like putting things together that wouldn’t normally go together. Say for instance, patched jeans with a double breasted peek lapel blazer.
Some of my style inspirations are Dapper Dan, Jerry Lorenzo, Pyer Moss, Aimé Leon Dore, and many Japanese creative directors. I’m inspired by a lot of Japanese and Italian culture in general because of their overall dope style!
What are the essential pieces you must have in your closet?
Definitely a jacket, but not one in particular. As long as it looks good, and has a nice shape to it. I also like coats, especially coats with lapels. I really need my sweatpants, off the shoulder t-shirts cool socks, white sneakers, and crewneck sweaters.
Where do you shop?
Normally I shop at UNIQLO because it’s cheaper and the quality is like Urban Outfitters, but at a price point of H&M. Recently, I’ve been looking for black owned businesses and designers that I like. Right now, I’m wearing Pyer Moss, just the socks and tee. I’ve been looking at people like KITH and Aimé Leon Dore. Last, but not least, I couldn’t forget my own brand, STITCHED.
Describe your personal style in three words?
Modern, vintage, and classic.
Any fashion related tips?
If nobody else was on the earth, what would you wear today? For me, style is not about clothes. It’s more about your way of life: What you eat, workout (If you workout at all), the way you dress, the way you cook, the way you treat people, and the way you talk. All that is part of style. Even today, I wore shorts, yet it’s 55 degrees out. I had to ask myself, if nobody else was on this earth today, would I still wear this? If the answer is yes, that’s what I’m going to wear because that’s my style.
