Dressing my Man in Banana Republic

2011 November 29
by B. Jones

A question that pops up every now and then is.. “What’s your hubby’s style like?”.. and the honest truth (and he would agree).. non-existent! But.. the minute we got together…I took over his closet and became his stylist! Slowly I tweaked his look.. and now I must say.. he’s extra dashing.

For the holiday season, I partnered with Banana Republic to dress up my man for the party circuit. They know I’m the one shopping and picking out his looks.. so they generously suited him up.. and how hot does he look? I mean… know I’m biased.. but seriously.

Catch a glimpse in this B. Jones Style Film… Dressing my Man!

 

 

On Her: Banana Republic Monogram Print Dress

On Him: Banana Republic V Neck Sweater, Soft-Wash Checkered Shirt, Skier Skinny Tie, Vintage Straight Cords

Filmed by: Chris Basilio and Dave Jaranilla

Banana Republic is also running a fun party looks contest (which is now closed) but you can help to decide the winner.. so head on over to their facebook page.

    i loe this post, and i can totally relate. when my husband and i first met, his “uniform” was a tucked in polo shirt, khakis, and oxfords. after all these years i’ve finally gotten him to untuck his shirt, wear jeans, and try different shoes! hooray for women that like dressing their men!

    Awww his look is very cute, but still masculine. The checkered button up looks great with that cranberry sweater.

    Awww! You guys are so cute! I love the outfit you picked too!

    It was great getting to see you talk and how you interact with your husband…kinda makes us readers out here in the blogging world get to know you better and for me, it makes me enjoy your blog just that much more! ;) Love your cute doggie just resting on the pillow during your interview…how sweet! You dress your hubby very well, by the way….super classy! Isn’t it fun styling yourself and then getting to style your husband as well? My hubby says the same thing…it’s nice not having to think about what to wear, haha! Congrats on the fun project with BR!

    Let me just say that since I was 10 years old, I have said I will make sure my husband wears Banana Republic. It’s such a classic and sophisticated without being too out there :)

    This is so cute – you guys are adorable! I feel the same way about my guy. He has style when he tryies, but let’s face it – he doesn’t try very often! Thank goodness they let us dress them!

  22. November 29, 2011

    You two are such a gorgeous couple! Love the clothes!!!

  23. November 29, 2011

    Such a great video. You too are so cute and I can totally relate to picking out all of my boyfriend’s clothes and gradually transforming his closet.

    I smiled through this whole thing. SHEESH. Not to relate finding your man to thrifting, but I always think, “damn Beth always finds the best things in a thrift store.” Girrrrl, you sure know how to pick em. Even behind the awful clothes and hair cut, he’s clearly fine! x

  25. November 29, 2011

    I mean, this was the cutest thing ever. Such a handsome/gorgeous couple!

    Oh, and I meant “behind the awful clothes and haircut” when you met him. Not now, you both look great.

  27. November 29, 2011

    Ah, you both are TOO flippin adorable together! Loved the video! You look gorg in that dress.

    You two are such a sweet couple :)
    Also, hearing the Cults on your video made me smile – it’s a cute tune!

  29. November 29, 2011

    Awww… you kids are cute! I feel like I help Matt find style after we started dating but he regressed last year for some reason. Gotta get that sorted out…;)

    This was such a pleasure to watch because of several reasons. One, my husband and I have walked a similar path with style (his style was non-existent, I am a stylist, I took over, he looks fab now!) but two, because i loved watching how you two present yourselves to the camera. And I’m not referring to style! I’m referring to how you two work together in a coversation, helping each other complete the other’s sentences, your looks and compliments towards each other. Just makes me smile and rejoice in the fact that marriage is such a beautiful thing and we are blessed to have the men we have in our lives!

    This post is adorable! Really enjoyed watching the video – His outfit looks great and he still looks comfortable, which I think is really key when getting guys to get out of their typical uniforms. :)

    @Ambyr : I agree! Stylish yet handsome! He doesn’t mind, right? I know sometimes hubby can find that offensive when we really mean not to offend them. x)

  37. December 5, 2011

    This is a really cute idea… Both of you look great!!! Thanks for the fun!!

  38. December 5, 2011

    I like his pants but everything else including the shirt/sweater combo and the converses are cute but not very sophisticated for him. I’m not too keen on this look on him but a great looking couple nonetheless.

    Oh my God, you guys look adorable. You made a great couple. Love it! Happy Holidays.
