Street Style: Dress to Express

architect

retired/ patron of the Arts

designer/inventor

artist & bad-ass

Jacket, shirt, sometimes a tie, pants & shoes: that is the uniform of dressing as a man. Seems limiting to me, but creative men get creative with this formula. Above are 4 candid shots of some Sacramento gents dressing to express. 

Unfortunately I didn't get the architect's name, but did learn that his incredible tie was designer. Bugler. And vintage. I love the look, creative yet classic. And man, can't get enough of those horned rimmed glasses. 

The colorfully suited man told me his name was "Bob," and that he was retired. The suit was actually a costume that he rented from Cheap Thrills, a Sacramento institution for costume rentals. He described himself as an art lover.

Danny Scheible, an inventor/designer is is wearing a "tape tie" of his own design made out of tape. You can see more of his tape creations at: tapigami.com.

And no Sacramento street style blog would be complete without a few photos of Sacramento style icon and artist/musician, Steve Vanoni, so consider this the first of a probable many. His outsider style is always effortlessly cool, and this shot of him wearing a vintage leather jacket and torn-up t-shirt and vintage cowboy boots was no exception.
