PR: Men’s Personal Shopping Arrives in Portland

LKc Style Men’s Personal Shopping Arrives in Portland

Portland, August 17–Men’s personal shopping company, LKc Style, is expanding to reach the Northwest market. Headquartered out of Chicago, LKc Style’s recent success in the Midwest has the company founder, Laura Knepper, planning for future creative and technological growth.

LKc Style helps men find their own style by evaluating their current personal situation and developing a wardrobe based on needs, goals, and aspirations or sometimes just to get their wife or girlfriend off their case. The company’s clientele include men seeking a style upgrade, usually on a budget. LKc clients are often starting new jobs, recently divorced, getting married, or going through other life changes requiring more attention to attire than most men have been willing to give in the past.

LKc services initially included in-store personal shopping after a free initial consultation with the client. But, with many requests from clients outside of Chicago, LKc considered expansion possibilities. New services include the StyleCAM for online closet consultations via Skype (user-friendly video phone conferencing), On Call picture text messaging consultations for dressing room advice, mail-order wardrobing with free shipping, and online clothing wardrobe portfolio creation. The services can all be purchased separately based on the needs of each individual client. While continuing to serve the Midwest clientele out of Chicago, Ms. Knepper will now be headquartered out of Portland during major portions of the year allowing in-person services upon request as well. For free advice, LKc Style writes a blog tracking do’s, don’ts, celebrity style on a shoestring, and even actual client before and afters—everything from that tie you saw on Entourage to what you should wear on a first date.

Ask yourself one question, would you get the job or the first kiss in what you are wearing now? If not, contact LKc Style today! Visit www.lkcstyle.com for details.

Dear Vince,

For the sake of all the boys, please keep dating naked porn stars even if they are bad for your health. Also, it’s ok for you to wear animals on your clothes…but don’t make a habit out of it.

Lebron plans to run at Vegas party??

The much loved (hated??) LeBron James (now of the Miami Heat) is seen looking cool in Vegas…except for the running shoes he must have left on from his workout earlier!! LeBron, you are a king of your wardrobe and master of your domain…I know it was going to be a long night, but try a comfortable casual sneaker or a black slip on. Or, you’ll be sent right to dad camp.
