When you get ready for a special occasion, it’s important to adopt your own personal style. Besides making you look better, a personal style helps you feel better. After all, we’re all individuals, which means we each have our own look that works for us. The only issue, though, is it can be difficult to define your personal look. That’s where Nordstorm’s Virtual Styling Services can help you out. Nordstrom’s Virtual Styling Services provide a bespoke experience, like having your very own personal stylist but without needing to leave your home. Start with a Style Quiz, consult with Nordstrom Stylists, and even book a free video chat with a stylist to choose clothing, accessories, and personal products that define your unique style. Nordstrom’s Personal Styling works because it focuses on a personal connection, the convenience of virtual services, and products selected to match and define your personal style.

The Nordstrom Personal Styler is an integral component of Nordstrom’s Trunk Club box service. As a Trunk Club subscriber, which you can start or stop at any time, you can have trunks of clothing sent to you as regularly as you like. Shipping is free and you only pay for what you keep — return shipments are free, too.

Trunk Club shipments encompass different styles, occasions, and budgets. Unlike some subscription services, you’re not tied to anything. You simply request a Trunk Club box when you want some new clothes. It’s ideal if you’re not quite sure what you’re planning or even when you might need the clothing.

Nordstrom’s Trunk Club works well for every occasion. Want to look extra good for a presentation at work? You can pick out a style that suits that need. You can select casual wear for a beach visit just as easily as find the ideal look for a hot date coming up. With the Personal Styler, the Trunk Club is your buddy in fashion, encouraging you to try something new and create the best look for your body.

Of course, none of this would be much use if you didn’t know what to buy, and that’s where the Nordstrom Style Quiz and other Style-defining services come in. The Style Quiz works like a personal stylist who visits virtually via a web browser from the convenience of your own home.

All you need to do is think about your budget, the colors you prefer to wear, and it’s helpful to know your size, too. From there, the Nordstrom Style Quiz offers plenty of advice, suggesting the brands and a style that might work for you in creating your personal look. The beauty here is that it comes up with suggestions that you might not have previously thought of (especially if you’re not knowledgeable about clothing) and encourages you to try something new.

Nordstrom Trunk Club items typically range from $50 to $300 as you’d expect from one of the best affordable online clothing stores for men so there’s something for every budget here. The only additional cost is a $25 styling fee but it’s applied toward anything you decide to purchase and is waived for Nordstrom cardmembers.

The Style Quiz may be all you need to take action on defining your personal style and ordering Trunk Club items that are right for you. You can also make an immediate virtual Stylist Connection ask questions or advice. Perhaps most impressively, you can book a free 30-minute virtual video call with a Nordstrom stylist for help with fashion and personal styling tips.

With clothing options ranging from shorts for the summer to smart business wear, the Nordstrom Trunk Club subscription box is your new fashion-conscious friend. If you’re looking to change up your style, this is the ideal service to try. You won’t be disappointed by the results and you just might discover a look you never realized would suit you so well.

L.L. Bean brings their Japanese selections stateside for the first time
A thirty-three year collection finally arrives in the United States
L.L. Bean Collection Japan Studio Outdoor

L.L. Bean has been a go-to for all those who love to shed the comforts of the indoor world and head out into the wild unknown to experience the great outdoors for over a century. Of course, in that time, they have grown beyond a simple wilderness outfitter in Maine to become one of the biggest brands in the country, supplying everything from outerwear and fishing gear to camping and workwear. In 1992, an influx of Japanese shoppers made their way to the Maine home of L.L. Bean in search of their coveted styles and took them back to their home country. That sparked an expansion to the far east, where they established the brand's first store outside the state. Now, after thirty-two years, the L.L. Bean Japanese Collection returned to the States for the first time in pop-ups located in both New York City and Los Angeles.

Caterpillar celebrates a century of building the world with CAT Centennial collection
CAT Apparel has been the go-to for the hardest working people for 100 years, now they celebrate it

Men have been building the world since the industrialized society took hold and grew to encompass empires. Everything from the pyramids to skyscrapers is the product of ingenuity and grit, all on the backs of the hardest-working men in the world. Since 1925, they have been one of the leading manufacturers of heavy equipment across the globe. From defense work and engines in World War II to building every major city in America, they are a name every engineer and construction company trusts. Because of that, the name expanded to workwear, becoming one of the first names you see on the men and women actually building the structures we use every single day. To celebrate the 100th anniversary, the brand launched the Caterpillar Centennial Collection, a number of items including graphic tees and articles inspired by the very machines that inspired them. Whether you follow the trends and want to embrace the workwear aesthetic or you are a fan of the brand, these are the perfect fit.

Wax London believes polos shouldn’t be boring
Get creative with your polos with Wax London
Wax London polo black floral

The men's polo is one of the staple shirts every man needs. It is something that has endured since the days of LaCoste wearing them on the tennis courts. Nowadays, it is the paramount piece for any man looking to wear a basic business casual wardrobe. Of course, that doesn't mean it has to be basic. Most men tend to opt for a solid golf polo and a pair of basic chinos, paired with a hybrid dress shoe. While that has led the polo down a path to gaining a dad shirt image, that doesn't mean it needs to stay there. Wax London is one of the leaders in making everyone, from celebrities to dads, look stylish, and they don't think a polo needs to be boring or basic. Instead, Wax London polos this season emphasize patterns, standing out, and being seen as a celebrity, even if you're just a dad.
