Capital! Style

Style never ceases to amaze me in Richmond. Maybe it is something in the murky water of the James River, or maybe it’s just something we are all collectively born with. Not only do we demand our sweet tea and lazy days at the river, we love to wear our cowboy boots, sundresses (on the girls), cut offs (on the guys and girls), and jean vests while enjoying those things.

This is a secret that went public years ago, but Richmond is no longer a place to live, consider it a way of life.

Can you believe that everything Johnny is wearing is either thrift or from a discount store? This outfit is impeccable!

With David’s Hawaiian print trunks and Casey’s naval inspired bathing suit. These two are easily Richmond’s best-dressed summer time couple.

Three friends, three dresses, plus a pair of boots = classic southern style.

Showing off his aviators and authentic military pins and ribbons. This is a classic military inspired outfit with a gritty Richmond twist by pairing them with a jean vest.

If you ever wondered how to perfectly wear white denim (and you should), this would be it!

Everything about this guy exudes confidence and cool. Almost nothing looks better than a plain white tee…especially when you’re playing a keyboard in the middle of Carytown with your closest friends, and attracting attention from people passing by on the sidewalk.
