Capital! Style

A little sparkle, some serious coats, and even a dash of prep. Richmond, you are looking goooooooooooood.

The skirt, which looks more like a confection than an article of clothing, balances out the businesslike collared shirt and cuffs. Maximum cuteness has been attained.

College-ready perfection in a cardigan and serious burgundy, with just the right amount of flirty flounce.

There are not enough epic coats around anymore. This guy is leading the good fight — and that luminous smile doesn’t hurt, either.

From Dirty Richmond
See, redheads can wear red and wear it well…just not right next to their hair.

cs5
From Karen Seifert
Party-ready dolls: not much needed besides classy dresses and low lighting.

cs6
From Dirty Richmond
The black / grey combo is sleek and professional, but the boots keep it hip. A campus WIN.

cs7
From Hannah Sullivan
When the skirt says Marie Antoinette and the shrug says Greta Garbo, applause is in order for orchestrating that combination.

cs8
From Dirty Richmond
On top of looking all-around amazing, this guy has single-handedly (1) changed my mind about necklaces on guys and (2) renewed my hope in finding the perfect knee-length boots for men.

From Dirty Richmond
This lady proves that preppy can be anything but boring. Epic coat squad REPRESENT!

cs10
From Dirty Richmond
Looking put-together and mature, yet feminine, in a high-waisted pencil skirt and ruffly top.

From RumorsRVA
Life’s too short to reserve all the sparkly for eveningwear.

    That last girl looks homeless and a little crazy.

  2. Agreed, although I daresay that’s the exact look she’s going for.

    Good stuff. It needs a website of its own. See http://www.thesartorialist.blogspot.com

  4. I love the Sartorialist and wish I were half the photographer he is. See Dirty Richmond for the RVA equivalent:

    I mean YOUR pics are wonderful. All those years spent in English class……………………

  7. What about the older…30-40 crowd…how are they dressing? Personally I’m a great dresser :)…is the rest of RVA at 35?

  8. Right now not many of our submissions are coming from that crowd, but I, too, would like to see more. Please do submit if you have something!!!!
