Name: Servanté

Nickname: Ser, or Vanté

Age: 35

Birth City: Chicago

Ethnic background/Where are your parents from?/ Where are your grandparents from? I’m African American with both parents born here in the states. My grandparents were also African American, all born in southern parts of the states, like Arkansas.

Where do you live now: Houston

When did you first begin to love fashion?: Growing up my older cousin, Greg always had the dopest sneakers and outfits. Whatever he wore, I wanted it. I would borrow his clothes to wear on special days at school and I felt so fly! I believe this was when I first started to love fashion, and feel passionate about expressing myself through it.

Celebrity Crush: Kelly Rowland and Micheal B Jordan 🙂

Favorite song at the moment: “Taboo” by Sevyn Streeter

What is your favorite way to wear color? I love mixing patterns and prints. However, color blocking is also fun. Typically I bring in the color with my sneakers and work from there.

How does infusing color into your wardrobe make you feel? Daring! Wearing things that most guys may stir away from is exciting. I love complimenting my skin tone/ complexion with pops of color.

What are you working on? Right now my focus is growing my platform on social, and creating more content that makes sense to my business goals. I’m also releasing a men’s skincare line (@ser.skn) that I can’t wait to share with the world.

Styling Bold Colors with Free Assembly from Walmart

authenb

Now that the temperatures are cooling off in most places we can really enjoy jacket weather. I’m partnering with Walmart to show you a chic brand that launched recently called Free Assembly. The pieces are so timeless that you will be able to style them again and again!

For this look I wanted to keep the colors light but the overall look warm. (Think long sleeves and covered toes.) I’m styling these stone carpenter cropped pants with a utility jacket that I’m wearing as a top. The golden color of the jacket is so beautiful and will be warm, but also will look pretty when spring rolls back around.

Is it really fall and soon winter without a chunky black bootie? I think not! This bootie really makes this look feel like fall. Lastly, an interesting pair of sunglasses take this look over the top. They have a cool octagon shape and just the right amount of tint.
