STEALING YOUR BOYFRIEND’S BLAZER

MORA | LUMBERTON, NJ

What she wore: An oversized blazer, halter top, and baggy jeans.

Style tip: Sometimes the best outfits come from your boyfriend’s closet. Grab his favorite blazer, and pair it with a halter tee and jeans. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also steal his jeans when the opportunity presents itself. Don’t forget to cuff the ankle!

STYLE SPOTLIGHT: ANTHONY ADAMS

“Welcome to “Style Spotlight,” a series dedicated to our most inspiring, fashion influencers.”

Welcome Anthony Adams, wardrobe consultant and creator of ICONIC STYLE 82.

This week, we were delighted to chat with Anthony Adams, a Philly based fashion stylist and wardrobe consultant! With an afternoon full of photos, coffee, and laughs, Anthony provides insight into his personal style preferences.

Find out what he had to say below:

Where are you from?

Philadelphia, Pa.

How do you define your personal style? What or who are your some of your style inspirations?

Tom Forde and Alessandro Michele (The creative director at Gucci) really speak to me.

I like to push myself everyday to maintain my own personal style, and constantly change what I do (Similar to a wave, never repeating it the same way).

What are the essential pieces you must have in your closet?

You should have a good blazer, a pair of jeans that fit you well, and a leather sole shoe!

Where do you shop?

Here in Philly, I shop at Les Richards/LR2. I also do a lot of premium shopping which includes designers like Gucci, Neiman Marcus, and SSENSE (A Canadian based online store).

Describe your personal style in three words?

Iconic, fluid, and fresh!

Any fashion related tips?

With this wave of casual dress, get a good pair of denim, a well fitted t-shirt, and a good pair of shoes or tennis sneakers. In addition, never buy anything you don’t love (You’ll never be disappointed in an outfit you put together). Lastly, you should also avoid trends.

IS THE ADIDAS X IVY PARK CORSET PLAYSUIT NECESSARY?

JASMINE | PHILADELPHIA, PA

What she wore: An ADIDAS x Ivy Park corset playsuit, bucket hat, and heels.

Style tip: In short, yes! You can’t go wrong when Beyoncé has her hand in things. Everyone should own at least one item from this collab, while supplies last of course! For this look, the off the shoulder leotard and biker shorts merge is a win! It’s definitely a classy look!

WHAT TO WEAR ON A DATE

RAHEEM | PHILADELPHIA, PA

What he wore: Leather jacket, a fun graphic tee, black denim jeans, and sneakers.

Style tip: The leather jacket is a perfect way to dress up your entire look, especially if you want to make a good first impression. Pair it with a fun graphic tee and denim jeans to make a statement. You can never go wrong with a black and white combo!
