Berkeley's Spring Staff Picks
Seeing nice clothing is one thing, but sometimes it helps to get a little outside perspective. We had a few of our staff in Berkeley grab some recently-delivered pieces and throw them on for photos — both to showcase our favorite styles this season, and to share how we personally would wear them. With new deliveries coming in every week, our lineup can be a bit overwhelming at times, so this is our way of highlighting the things we really think you should check out through the lenses of our different teams. Every month, a different one of our stores will show off their staff picks and style, so you'll always have fresh context and perspective from every corner of the S&S world.

"I was told by someone's mom that I clean up nice so I've been cleaning up my act just a bit. Inspired by Denzel's fits in the 80's and 90's."
Elliot Young, Web Manager
"I'm really into tailoring lately, and have found myself virtually unable to not stack collars like this. It's too fun, and I like the way it immediately relaxed the more "formal" styles in the jacket and creased trousers. I chose basically all my favorite brands, all of which style very well together, I think, and I like the dressy-but-laid-back feeling of the whole ensemble."
Preston Torres, Web Designer
"I’d say that my style journey over my past year at S&S has been all over the map, especially being a reformed hardcore kid trying to explore everything at my disposal. I’ve been gravitating towards garments with varying weights and details for layering, given that I live in SF and the weather is cooler there than the East Bay shop, so things like the Buco Parka with its heavy weight and fabric feel are great for that, especially when paring it with the lightweight WWII Coverall from Orslow for a nice layered look. I’m a sucker for tone matching so it scratched my brain when pairing with the Wabash Stripe Farmer's Trousers from Full Count, which have quickly become a favorite due to the subtle swirling pattern in between the dotted lines. Love finishing things off with some accessories and I almost always wear the wing bracelet from Peanut’s & Co."
