“Welcome to “Style Spotlight,” a series dedicated to our most inspiring, fashion influencers.”
Philly based creative, entrepreneur, and all-around style guru, John Graves, shares his fashion secrets for this week’s Style Spotlight. Here, we take a deeper dive into John’s personal style preferences, essential wardrobe pieces, and much more!
Read the full interview below:
Where are you from?
I’m from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania born and raised!
How do you define your personal style? What or who are your some of your style inspirations?
I pretty much stick with streetwear, unless I have something to do or somewhere to go fancy (Which may require a suit or something more business oriented).
What are the essential pieces you must have in your closet?
For me, it’s a pair of blue and black skinny jeans, baggy jeans, Chucks, a clean white or black tee, leather jacket, denim jacket, and some Doc Martens. In addition, I like frames.
I have a lot of clothes in general, but I find that I wear the same things in rotation (I just switch it up with accessories and footwear).
Where do you shop?
My store, Here2CoolStuff Clothing Store (1214 South Street). For things that I don’t sell like footwear, I’m always shopping in outlets or online. Dr. Martens ADIDAS, Nike, and Reeboks are spots that I visit often. I’m a sneaker head at heart!
When keeping it simple, I do love a good pair of white or black Chucks.
Describe your personal style in three words?
Comfortable, cool, and creative!
Any fashion related tips?
Most people look at me and say, “I could never pull that off.”
Well, I don’t think that way. I just put it on! Most of the time, we own the same pieces, but it’s about confidence. So, I can put on anything most of the time, but it’s about being comfortable (Somebody will see it, and think it’s an actual fashion statement).
Don’t get tied down to what people say. Focus on what your clothes represent, and how they reflect what’s going on inside of you. For example, I consider myself a comfortable, welcoming, and accepting individual. One can assume my clothing reflects that nature and part of myself.

JASMINE | PHILADELPHIA, PA
What she wore: A black puffer, turtleneck slit dress, and chunky boots.
Style tip: Puffer jackets and dresses go together like peas and carrots. When both pieces are the same color, you can’t go wrong! Make sure you throw on a pair of matching boots as well.

To kick of the work week, we’re putting this week’s Style Spotlight on our girl, Vidya!
From start to finish, we love how she creates sustainable, colorful ensembles to express her personality. Here’s what Vidya had to say about her style:
Where are you from?
I was born in Pennsylvania, and I moved to India when I was nine. That’s where most of my family lives. I’ve been in Philly for the past five years.
How do you define your personal style? What or who are your some of your style inspirations?
I would define my personal style as an extension of my art (I really love expressing myself through fashion). So, I find myself dabbling in lots of colorful clothing. I like things that are comfortable, and I can do active things since I’m always on the go. Anything that’s comfortable, fun, and colorful!
What are the essential pieces you must have in your closet?
Definitely skate sneakers for sure. I really like cargo pants! Girls receive the short end of the stick when it comes to pockets. You have to get the pockets! Also, I love crop tops!
Where do you shop?
I mostly thrift. A few years ago, I decided to become more sustainable with my clothing choices. For the last year, I haven’t purchased any clothes. I wasn’t even thrifting! So, I ended up learning about a lot of local designers, and people who source clothes from very ethical places. Its been an ongoing journey to find the most sustainable practices. In Philly, I mostly thrift and I have a lot of cool friends that make clothes. I get a lot of stuff from them too.
Describe your personal style in three words?
Fun, comfortable, and colorful!
Any fashion related tips?
Fashion to me is extension of myself. Make sure that whatever you wear makes you happy, and brings you joy. It will show! You’ll feel more confident, and you’ll be able to take on whatever you’re doing for the day with a smile on your face.
