Your Winner - Joel
We chose Joel because of his understated dapper style, frequently attired in a bow tie and, a fan of a waistcoat we loved the way he puts his daily looks together in a functional but stylish way.
Joel told me "I am a graduate student in education at Harvard university. I was a teacher for years and have tried to move the typical 'teacher style' out of its rigid, and often boring rut"
We asked Joel to tell us about his style "My style is inspired by blue collar uniforms. I appreciate the utilitarian nature of the style and those that wear it. I am honored to have won the contest, especially with the impressive entries"

Your Runner Up - Elijah
Elijah is a 19 year old chap from Atlanta Georgia and is another supporter of the bow tie!
Attending school at Savannah State University he is currently a student but in the future he hopes to have a job in the fashion industry.
We asked Elijah to sum up his style "My style can be dapper, urban & preppy at the same time. My style is very diverse. Most people look at their style from a designer & cost of the clothes point of view. To me it isn't about who designed it or how much it costs. It's all about how you make it look. Someone's outfit could cost $5,000 and it can still be unappealing. When I put on a outfit, it's usually planned days ahead. I brainstorm & deeply think about every outfit I wear. Your style defines who you are without you telling people. People will judge you just from your appearance. It isn't fair but that's life. Because of that, I dress how I want to be addressed"
