Street View Mix and match

A wine director shows how to harmonize a formal suit with a crop top, gold, silver, and sneakers.

“I’VE BEEN WEARING diff erent variations of this suit for like, three days now. Best buy ever. It was only two bucks,” says Lee Gusman of the ensemble they scored at the Village Discount Outlet in Roscoe Village. Proof that suits don’t have to be confi ned to staid offi ces, Gusman paired theirs with a cropped top, a silver chain belt, and a gold clutch bag. “I like mixing silver and gold a lot because people say you shouldn’t do it. So maybe I’m a contrarian,” they say. On their way to work as the wine director of Printer’s Row Wine Shop, Gusman was sporting the same outfit they wore the night before to catch a show at Sleeping Village. “I love sets—I think they’re an easy way to be put together. They’re so versatile; you can break them up or not, whatever you choose. For my job I have to look professional—LOL. So it’s a good way to be fun.” —ISA
