In this week’s group of well-dressed city professionals, we see a vintage Chanel, a feathered trilby and Etro from head to toe
December 9 2011: Brin, Retail Director, Etro. Brin is wearing all Etro. Brin says he was born with style, and you can't buy style. His style advice is to be comfortable with what you're wearing, it could be a one hundred dollar H&M jacket or a one thousand dollar Etro jacket, but you're not going to wear it if you're not comfortable, it will just hang in your closet. Brin has heard that he IS Etro, his wife will tell you that everything he owns is Etro. He has also heard from a co-worker that he is the gayest dressed straight person he knows
December 7 2011: Jess Abraham, Digital Media Manager. Jess is wearing Burberry shoes, a Theory skirt, Marc Jacobs shirt and Ferragamo bag. Jess says her favorite place to shop is Bloomingdales because they have everything, and her favorite designer is DVF because their clothes transition well from work to afterwork and are professional yet still feminine. There is no dress code in her office, but she says people dress up according to the day's client interaction

December 7 2011: John Bulgrin, Digital Media Analytics Manager. John is wearing To Boot shoes, Hugo Boss pants and shirt, Ferragamo belt, and a Uniqlo jacket. This is a typical look for him, he says, though it varies from day to day. Some days he's more casual than others depending on how much time he is spending in or out of the office. John travels about once a week for work and he says he definitely dresses up more when traveling. He also mentions that Hugo Boss is one of his favorite designers and when asked why, like many he responds because it fits him well and it's all about the fit
December 6 2011: Ricardo Parra, Design Director/Architect at Mac Cosmetics. Ricardo is wearing Quicksilver pants, an H&M shirt, Express sweater, and Ralph Lauren glasses. His favorite places to shop are Topshop, H&M and All Saints. He is from Venezuela and moved to New York in 2005, though he still travels a lot for work to South America, Europe, and the UK. He comments that the style in New York City is much more varied compared to the style in Venezuela where many people dress the same according to trends
