tandard Style brings you Issue #04. This issue emphasizes the trends for spring/summer 2011 for men and women. Straight from the runways, you will find the best options from top designers and ideas on how to wear these trends. Standard Style opened its first store in October 2003 at Town Center Plaza in Leawood, Kansas. The second location on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri opened in November 2006. With a variety of price points and product mix, the styling teams in both stores aspire to find each individual’s personal style regardless of size, age, or budget.

Standard Style is pleased to announce it will relocate its Town Center Plaza location to One Nineteen in Leawood, KS in August 2011, behind Crate and Barrel and between North and Habitat Shoes. Standard Style will exclusively carry women’s clothing, shoes, accessories, gifting, and kids. Standard Style will continue to carry classic designers and upcoming labels for women of all ages. Baldwin will open its first flagship store next door and will carry the finest in menswear clothing, shoes, and accessories, including Baldwin collection and denim. The two stores will be separate but connected by the dressing rooms.

Other exciting news includes the launch of the Baldwin menswear collection, and the continued growth of Baldwin denim, which introduced more styles and washes for men and women. Both the denim and collection are designed in Kansas City and made in the USA.

Standard Studio continues to be a progressive creative firm that specializes in brand development, consulting local and national organizations and their brands. Services include visual identity design, print material design, photography, video production, social networking, and viral marketing. Visit StandardStudio.net.

aking time out of the day-to-day routine to reassess your life at the start of a new year can be overwhelming. However, this personal investment can be extremely rewarding. As a mother of three, working full time can bring its challenges, schedule conflicts, and disruptions. On the other hand, when planned well, my life is more enjoyable and full of good surprises. I have found that without stepping away from the mad rush of all the directions we are pulled, you can get lost in finding your true self. Life has its ups and downs, but remaining true to who you are brings a peace of mind and a level of genuine enjoyment. I encourage you to take the time this spring to step out of your normal routine and redefine who you are. With this in mind, you will be able to plan your wardrobe and work in the trends of this season to compliment your individuality and lifestyle.

This season is about bold colors and patterns as seen on the runways of designers from Diane Von Furstenberg to Elizabeth and James. Have fun with these looks by mixing and matching. Another prevalent look is that of sophistication through polished and dignified fabrics and styles. This trend was seen in the collections of multiple designers, most significantly 3.1 Phillip Lim. Another notable trend is the return of preppy casual with stripes, reds, navy, and blouses on the forefront.

Letter From The Stylist Emily Baldwin

After scouring for the best pieces from top designers, I am pleased that there is a large variety in trends. This expanse of options allows for spring and summer fashions to cater to casual women, sophisticated women, and event driven women. I have styled three sections to show how the looks from the runway can be worn in everyday life.

Take the time to find your individuality for spring and summer.

Take the time to clean out your closet. Take the time to find fashion pieces that express your personality and your lifestyle.

Have fun with spring and summer 2011: seventies chic, preppy nautical, and the 40’s lady.

he landscape of menswear seems to be changing about half the time, while the other half seems to be staying the same. This is something I have been exploring as I prepare to open up my first Baldwin men’s shop in August of 2011. In the last two issues, I have referenced Steve McQueen, using his iconic lifestyle as inspiration for our products. What I have come to realize about McQueen is that he not only understood good design that was practical to his life, but the pieces of clothing he wore were also timeless in design. I believe that 50% of men’s clothing changes (trends) while the other 50% (classics) stays the same. I often hear people refer to a classic piece as a trend, thinking they can’t wear something now that they wore ten or twenty years ago. The reality is that the “trend” resurfaces because of its great original design and functionality. Take, for instance, a pair of black denim, which received a bad rap in the late 80’s and early 90’s. However, in the end, it’s a great alternative to wearing indigo and is a great neutral, and every man should own a pair.

I do see the move towards twill pants as an alternative to the classic denim in your closet. Look for a great fitting khaki, navy or stone colored pant for the spring. Men should also invest in high quality shoes which will last for a lifetime.

Letter From The Stylist Matt Baldwin

Here are my recommendations for spring 2011: a tailored navy or grey suit, a pair of Red Wing boots, a pair of American-made dry selvage denim, oxford button down shirts that fit like they were tailored, and a classic dress shoe. If bought correctly, you will spend more money per piece, but each item will last longer and serve its purpose with an unmatched confidence. You will ultimately spend less money because you buy fewer items, giving you a better value in the end. Buy American, shop local, and shop with an expert.

Enjoy 2011. Live life to the fullest.

MATT BALDWIN Owner of Standard Style Boutique

The West Coast to the East Coast.

This spring/summer 2011, we contrast 1960’s surf culture in an epic East Coast versus West Coast battle.

Relaxed and colorful define the West Coast while clean, preppy and classic neutral colors define the East Coast.

Both have their own sense of personal refinement.
