The fifth Californian, but first Orange County
Bonobos Guideshop opened it's doors at the
Fashion Island Shopping Center in Newport Beach a couple weeks ago. I was given a tour of the guideshop and the scoop on how men can receive a personalized shopping experience with a Bonobos Guide (fit expert). The once solely e-ccommerce store is now operating from 16 brick-and-mortar- locations and continually growing, giving customers the option to find that perfect fit or style in the guideshop before purchasing online or making the order in the store to be mailed later.
Men out there, say good bye to ill-fitting clothing from standard sizings and the frustrations of shopping and trying clothes on without direction. Bonobos offers a comprehensive shopping experience by providing countless styles, fits, and fabrics so you can find exactly what you like.
Here's how it works:
� Make an appointment for a one-on-one fitting with a Bonobos Guide at
www.bonobos.com/guideshop; walk-in appointments are also welcome
� Once you�re fit, check out at Bonobos.com either during your Guideshop appointment, with the help of a Guide, or place your order at home later
� Shipping is free and items are delivered to your doorstep in 2-5 days
� Bonobos offers easy returns (free return shipping) and guarantees 100% customer satisfaction
Bonobos also has the sister brand,
AYR, which
specializes in denim and wardrobe staples for women, yet offers the same customized fit and customer service as Bonobos; which currently has select styles from their
denim line (see photos below) carried at
Nordstrom.com and at The Grove in Los Angeles; with plans to expand to more Nordstrom locations. I just received a pair of
The Skinny in Oil Slick and absolutely love they fit and style; can't wait to style them in an outfit!
I enjoy mixing denim on denim and this look styles a Banana Republic Denim-Looking Chambray Button Down with a pair of AYR wax-coated black jeans. I just love the sheen from the jeans which pairs well with the chambray top which also has a kind of sheen to it. The blazer thrown over the shoulder pull the look together with sophistication. I accessorized with a simple bar necklace from Constance Gold! Photos were shot by the lovely Shawna from Bleudog Fotography, you can see the last blazer styled look here.
