Style Files: MARCUS KAYE

My best friend Marcus dresses with a sense of fun I'm always inspired by in sizes I'm always jealous of. He does mixing formal with casual better than any other guy else I know, once choosing saddle shoes and a tie as suitable road trip outfit elements. And he happens to love Thriving Ink.

I've been sitting on this profile of a few of his favorite ensembles since last I visited the LA-based RKO assistant in January. At long last, I give you Marcus B. Kaye:

Thriving Ink Party Time tee by Ken Marshall; Urban Outfitters jacket; Levi’s jeans; Raybans; gray Converse high-tops

His “I live in West Hollywood” outfit:

Thriving Ink Imagine Equality tee by Cory Bardwell; Levi's jeans; Tom's sneakers

American Apparel (“They make clothes that fit me. And I’m a big fan of solid colors.”-Marcus) pants, shirt, and vest; Aldo's shoes; Zara jacket; red Converse high-tops

On his sense of style: “I feel like my style is a cross-blend of formal and casual. I like putting casual clothes together to make a more formal outfit. And I like accenting casual outfits with more formal pieces like vests...I also like bright colors and patterns."
