Footwear has the power to make or break an outfit, and it’s important for every one of our male clients to have the right selection of shoes to choose from. To me, no gent’s collection of shoes is complete without at least one pair of chukka boots. Chukka boots are an ankle-length boot equipped with two or […]

Many people are surprised to hear that more than 25 percent of our clients are men — many of those men fathers. Men get stuck in a style rut just as easily as women so in honor of today’s special day,  I wanted to provide some fun, easy styling tips to help busy dads on […]

At DC Style Factory not only do we style our clients, but we troubleshoot their wardrobe problems. One of the most common questions we get from our clients, men and women, is how to manage sweat under work attire.  Believe it or not, it’s a question we get more in the winter than the summer […]

I would pick up pretty clothing, provide them to clients to select from, track their receipts, and make any exchanges or returns. It was my job to keep up with what […]

In personal styling, we are asked to get sh&^ done…and make it look good. Sometimes we are given ample time to get it done, but  sometimes clients  call us at the nth hour, panicked. We never back down…I mean never. Most recently, I had a groom contact me about finding him a wedding day suit. Peter […]

Last Wednesday, DC Style Factory partnered with PopNod  and hosted a fall fashion event to benefit DC’s  Urban Alliance. The stylish soiree took place on the rooftop of Embassy Row Hotel DC – with a breathtaking view and sunset over Dupont Circle. The evening’s good vibes centered around the mission of the Urban Alliance — to mentor […]
