Styles of the The Great Los Angeles Air Raid of 1942

Posted on February 22, 2015 by Ethan

The “Battle of Los Angeles” is one that is shrouded in controversy. In late February, 1942 there was a rumored enemy attack which resulted in machine gun and anti-aircraft guns being fired which resulted in panic and conspiracies. However, in 2015 it’s simply an event to celebrate veterans, the armed forces, and the 1940’s. At the event, I saw vintage collectors, reenactors, performers, and just normal people getting into the vintage spirit. Here, we show off some of the best looks from the event!

Styles of the 2015 Vintage Fashion Expo

Posted on February 8, 2015 by Ethan

This weekend I was able to go to the 2015 Vintage Fashion Expo in Downtown Los Angeles. Vintage fashion is a personal hobby of mine. While I do love wearing modern clothes, there is something about the cut and patterns of the 1920s-1950’s that interest me. So this weekend, I went to the Expo wearing one of my favourite and most unique vintage pieces. I was also able to snap a few shots of people’s fashion that I enjoyed!

Who Wore It Better: The Tailored Khaki Trouser

Posted on February 3, 2015 by Ethan

Like we said before in our preppy post, khaki is one of the colors everyone should absolutely own in their wardrobe. However, sometimes buying “off the rack” doesn’t help. Everyone has a different body type, so what works for one may not work on the other. So for this challenge, we both took a pair of khakis , tailored them and then put on a quick outfit to show you just how amazingly diverse and amazing khaki trousers are. And as always, we’d like to know which style you liked better.

Who Wore It Better: The Nautical Stripe

Posted on January 30, 2015 by Ethan

Continuing our new feature, Raj and I bring you a classic preppy pattern: the nautical stripe. Even though Rajesh and I like to dress up (and even have some of the same clothes) we each have our own unique style. So we decided to do a challenge: let’s keep the same shirt pattern but we have to try and make it our own. So let us know what you think in the comments below! Who did wear it best?

How to Dress for College: The Preppy Style

Posted on January 28, 2015 by Ethan

Say you want to dress up for class. However, you don’t want to wear a suit because wearing a suit is “doing too much”. What’s the best alternative? Dressing preppy! The prepster style has been an American collegiate staple since the 1960’s and is a great dressed up look to do! Here, Raj and I will show you some of the clothes you can wear to be preppy to class.

Who Wore It Better: The Thick Cardigan

Posted on January 23, 2015 by Ethan

Trust me when I say that it was a complete coincidence when Rajesh and I were both wearing a thick cardigan. Don’t get me wrong, fashion isn’t a competition; but wouldn’t it be fun if it was?

Yosemite in Style

Posted on January 21, 2015 by Ethan

This long weekend, the Street x Sprezza Team went to Yosemite National Park. The event was called TriCampus, when our university stays at a camp with two other universities for a weekend of worship, games, and hiking. As expected, we looked our very best even though we knew we were going to be “roughing” it for a while. We also included some of the different outfits of our friends and other people we decided looked particularly good during the trip.

Pitti Uomo Style

Posted on January 15, 2015 by Ethan

Pitti Uomo is the menswear event of the year. Its the time when fashion designers come out and show off their latest designs and styles to store owners. As a result, some of the most well dressed men from around the world come and stand around smoking and eating, getting pictures taken of them. Even though I couldn’t be in Florence with them, I still dressed up to be apart of it.
