SEAN MORGAN (aka Mr Black Key): “fashion is an intriguing art form…skinny vintage ties with the modern day fitted short sleeve button shirts are my thing…I also coordinate them with plain black or polka dot bow ties…I really like to make things pop yet in a subtle way”
SETH AARON: “Fashion Designer and winner of Project Runway Season 7, thatz all”

JOHN WICKHAM: “…both eastside and west, people seem to flock, stopping to at least say hi and greet him…he just happens to be the only person at happy hour in a suit…some of the suits, he’s even made himself…even at Oregon’s Brewfest by the waterfront, this man was dressed to impress!”
KRIS KOBIN: “…whether I’m dressed in formal duds, work out wear or a swim suit, I always strive to have my own unique style…”
DAVID SCOTT: “As owners of a boutique downtown we get an eyeful of fashion on a daily basis…the good, the bad, and the ugly. Every time David steps foot into our shop we are never disappointed…we actually nicknamed him the Best Dressed Man in Portland long before we knew there would be a contest for it…perfect balance of creativity, ingenuity, boldness, and pure class…”
RAHIM TUFTS: “…a high school English teacher who has an updated and great sense of style…his work attire is business casual, so enjoys dressing up and looking sharp for work & play.”
ZACH: “Zach is amazing, looks good in ANYTHING and is a Barista at Backspace…his hobbies include taking photos with all sorts of weird cameras and being awesome…”
RAIGHAN: “Raighan can rock a fedora like nobody’s business and can cook better than most chefs in the world.”

LKc Style was thrilled to have a vendor table at Chicago OnBoard’s most recent Life Orientation event this past week. We’re always happy to chat with new friends and see how we can help them best dress for their work and life environments! We were in love with being back in Chicago and working with a few of our favorite clients too!
**Special congrats to Sean Kennedy of @Properties for winning the Free Tie Giveaway and to Michael Zaremba of Morris Graduate School of Management for winning the Free Webcam Closet Consultation!!**

This Friday, September 10th is Fashion’s Night Out across the world…there’s one hosted in most major cities across America on that same night–check and see if you’re within driving distance (or a private jet ride close) by a host city!
Here’s what to expect from a man’s perspective:
1. Hot women everywhere; let’s face it…this event is woman-centric and therefore maybe a bit intimidating; but if you’re showing interest in your appearance, they’ll probably appreciate that.
2. Free stuff (appetizers, drinks, ties, AG Jeans, and in-store consultations)–who doesn’t like free stuff??
3. Learn something (that you perhaps haven’t learned from reading the LKc Style blog…); Brooks Brothers is hosting a “how to tie your tie or bowtie” mini-workshop during the Portland Fashion’s Night Out!
So, put on your comfortable walking shoes (but not white dad sneakers), stroll through your city and take in the women, the drinks, and maybe some cuff links too.
If you want a personal image consulting tour of Portland’s Fashion’s Night Out with Laura Knepper of LKc Style, please e-mail Laura at laura.knepper@lkcstyle.com. We’ll give you one hour free if you mention this blog post!

LKc Style was asked to do a guest blog series at The Possessionista for the men’s fashion on The Bachelor Pad (in duo w/ Molly Mesnick reviewing the women’s fashion). This show is a total train wreck from which you can not look away. I understand if you don’t want to obligate your sweet time to the whole show (although, if you’re into boobs, it might be worth your investment)…so get our recaps here:
Episode 1: Meet the Meat
Episode 2: Girls Vomit from Pie, plus the outsiders get more outside
Episode 3: Sloppy Seconds…..errrr Sevenths
Episode 4: The Chopping Block = Biggest Jerk, Worst Boob Job, and Most Shallow
(Plus Chris Harrison’s sweater in episode 4)
Come see LKc Style and some other awesome vendors at Chicago On Board’s Life Orientation conference on September 13 from 5-9PM at the Metropolitan Club (Willis Tower, 67th Floor) 233 South Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois. It’s only $10 to attend and includes some drinks and appetizers. LKc Style will be doing some giveaways…but maybe you’ll learn something too??
One of the sponsors is doing a breakout session that I am particularly interested in seeing: WhatCollegeForgot.com.
More to come…
Did you know LKc Style is on Twitter? Duh…who isn’t these days. There are occasional LKc giveaways found only on Twitter. Follow us and tweet with us here: http://twitter.com/LKcStyle! MAYBE there’s something up there right now…
