This week, the651 visited Heimie’s Haberdashery in search of a fashion-forward, but versatile, working man’s wardrobe. Do you know how to mix and match your clothes and take them from day to night? Well, we attempted to take a professional man from work day to casual (but not too casual) in a matter of minutes!

We recruited some of St. Paul’s most stylish men to model for us!

Greg Pike

Todd Walker

Adam Johnson

Greg Pike styled: Heimie’s own Custom Label suit, $1075; JC Richards tie, $95; Bruno Piattelli pocket square, $24; Allen Edmonds shoes, $325

Greg is the hotel Manager for Holiday Inn, Saint Paul-RiverCentre.   When you need a place to stay…call Greg!  If Greg doesn’t answer, he is probably spending time with his family or attending a Minnesota WILD game!

Todd Walker styled: Peter Millar sport coat, $695; Enzo dress shirt, $98; pocket square, $55; cufflinks, $125

Todd is a reporter for Fox 9 and does the “Man About Town” feature.  He also stops in to my Talk 107.1 to give his “weekend hit list.”  You probably have seen Todd in various magazines around the Twin Cities exemplifying his Metro area socialite status!

Adam Johnson styled: Heimie’s own Custom Label 3-piece suit, $1075; JC Richards tie, $95; pocket square, $24; Allen Edmonds shoes, $198

Adam is the Interim Vice President of Marketing at the Saint Paul Convention & Visitors Authority.  Adam is our 651.com “Off The Beaten Path” writer.  If you see the same tall gentleman in more than one spot around the city…it’s probably Adam…stalking you!

Check out the video to see how they did!

It’s a stylish weekend in St. Paul with the opening of new men’s store BlackBlue, a fashion show from longtime local designer Hazel Matthys, the expansion of Heimie’s Haberdashery into womenswear, and a headlining show from British rockers The Horrors.

BlackBlue

THURSDAY: BlackBlue Grand Opening, Hazel Matthys + “Angels and Divas”
The Twin Cities seems to be in dire need of shops that cater to the style-conscious man, so the arrival of well-edited menswear boutique BlackBlue in St. Paul comes as a welcome addition to the Selby & Dale intersection. Look for classic plaids by Pendleton and mod-style polos from Original Penguin and Fred Perry, as well as shoes and accessories. The grand opening will feature champagne, wine, cheese and music – and probably lots of hip, good-looking dudes. (7-10 p.m. 614 Selby Av., St. Paul.) Bonus: Read my interview with BlackBlue’s Steve Kang in l’etoile.
