Gapeteria: Look of the Day

Lia does her hair herself, and it's the first thing that caught our eye. But she has a clever way with clothes, too. Love this. An unexpected mix in a graceful silhouette with a retro wink.

We love a blouse buttoned to the neck, and this one has cool mussed stripes and a darling silhouette. (Perfectly boxy, higher in back, lower in front.) Vicky wears it so well. Love her simple no-frills look. Stark and chic.

Terra has such a sunny air about her even on a brisk winter day. It's partly her smile, partly her playful picks: leopard print jeans, swingy dangly earrings, mint green bike. Then she offsets these with subtler pieces—a simple blouse, neutral sweater and boots—for a perfect balance.

Ashley has a girlish look (refreshingly happy and comfortable) that drew us in. We loved her bare legs on that freezing day. A bold move in the name of fashion, because tights would have dressed it up too much and the Converse were critical.

Michael has a trademark look: tailored layers up top with casually rolled pants and boat shoes. It's nice to see someone working a style that suits them so well. His personality matches his presentation. Polite and gentlemanly, with a totally mellow tone.

Jared keeps it simple, but we like his modern take on guy classics like layered henleys, plaid flannels, and denim. The twist is usually in the shoes. Sometimes in color play, too. Spying both, we snapped his pic. Tomato red TOMS; moccasins for which he is occasionally mocked. But he stands by this footwear fave, destroying pair after pair and investing in evermore adventurous shades for the good of giving back.

44mm flannel. 1969 skinny fit jeans. TOMS shoes.

What we love about Amelia's look: tomboyish layers framing her delicate features, the cool herringbone texture of her sweater, and the dusty reddish shade of her prairie-style booties. The staples that anchor her look are irreproachable, too. Chambray shirts and legging jeans when all else fails.

Amelia

American Apparel sweater. Gap men's shirt. Hanes T. 1969 legging jeans. Madewell boots. Marc by Marc Jacobs heart necklace. Heirloom pendant necklace and ring.

Christopher believes in a little flair. Even his casual looks are accessorized with gauzy scarves and just-so cardigans that juice up jeans and Ts. Here, a more concerted effort, perfect for the darker, dressier, more dramatic mood that comes with the holidays.

We love Sydney's knack for high-low dressing and her penchant for pants. It can be difficult to capture black-on-black on film, but her mix of textures, prints, and proportions works so well; you can see every piece, yet it all hangs together.

Christine really stood out from the lunch crowd in her perfectly executed black on black. We love the way she balanced her très glam necklace and over-the-top vest with understated (yet excellent!) pleated crops and round-toe heels. Her look shows the power of statement pieces and staples alike.
