What Will Drive Your Fashion Choices This Spring?

The groundhog has come and gone. With most of February now in the rear-view mirror, it’s time to look toward the promise of spring. That means going through your wardrobe to see what you have on hand. For some of us, it also means planning a few shopping trips over the next several weeks.

What will drive your fashion choices this spring? When you visit your favorite boutiques, what will you be looking for? Fashion is a curious thing. It is based partly on the latest styles and trends and partly on individual preference. The beauty of fashion is that there is no right or wrong – despite what all the popular fashion websites and magazines might say.

A Cutting-Edge Vibe

Some of the fashionistas who visit our clothing store in Salt Lake City are looking for a cutting-edge vibe. Not only do they strive to stand out from the crowd, they also want to leave yesterday where it belongs. For them, it’s all about pushing the envelope by wearing styles very few others are embracing. If that sounds like you, go for it.

For our female customers, we suggest taking a look at our red Loup Simone Jeans. They are the latest addition to our high-waisted jean collection that does wonders for your backside. They will definitely get you noticed.

The guys might want to check out our shirt selection, we recommend the Gitman Vintage Summer Olympics sport shirt. It’s loud enough to get you noticed while simultaneously inviting a discussion on worldwide athletic competition. Do your shopping now and you will have your shirt well in advance for the Tokyo games.

Relaxed Comfort

If a cutting-edge vibe isn’t your thing, maybe your fashion choices are driven more by comfort than anything else. That’s great. We have no shortage of selections that invite you to sit back, relax, and live your life with no pressure. Men’s and women’s denim clothing is a great place to start.

As we wrote in a blog post last month, denim is a fabric that brings a lot to the table. Among its many great characteristics is its inherent comfort. Simply put, denim is easy to wear. It is comfortable enough to relax in and yet still looks good enough to wear out and about.

Trying Something New

Perhaps you are the kind of person who doesn’t have a particular fashion strategy in mind. Maybe you just want to try something new. Welcome aboard. Our fashion boutique in Salt Lake City is the perfect place for you to find something that catches your eye. We always have something new to show our customers.

A big part of shopping for fashion is the newness factor. We human beings are funny that way. We get tired of old things rather quickly. Then we move on to something new; something fresh and exciting. Your desire for something new is in keeping with the human experience.

If you are planning to do some shopping this spring, we invite you to stop by and talk to any one of our experienced sales associates. We can help you find something that is perfect for your sense of style and self. We carry all of your favorite luxury brands of clothing and accessories for men, women, and children.

Blood, sweat and seven years later

Wow. Seven years, can you believe it? That’s how long we’ve been around. None of it would’ve been possible without the ardent outpouring of support from patrons such as yourself. Our blood, sweat and tears – literally all of those things – built this shop. But who we are today is because of you; we’ve never forgotten that.

Not too much has changed, other than the change of names from Fresh to The Stockist. Oh, and the change of locations, from the south side of the street to the north side (we’re still in the 9th and 9th area, right across from the Tower Theatre). Truly, though, nothing else has changed. Our mission remains the same. We strive to stock quality goods and lifestyle essentials for an everyday purpose. We aim to be at the forefront of Salt Lake fashion. And most importantly, we go all out to be your local stockist open and ready to chat about style whenever you want.

At the risk of sounding self-absorbed (which we’re absolutely not), a lot of you out there probably know who we are. But we realize a lot of you probably don’t know the behind-the-scenes of where we come from and why our passion is, well, fashion. Introductions – as well as a bit of history – are in order then.

Back up seven years to the day, July 14, 2009, and you’ll see the slightly younger, still fresh faces of the siblings Helen and Ian Wade. Now, there wasn’t any ribbon cutting, or champagne christening that day, but there were a lot of locals and loved ones, donning their toothy, supportive smiles. They were packed in our store ready for a fresh new take on fashion, hand-delivered to Salt Lake’s door. (We hope we delivered that day. More than that we hope we continue to deliver.)

Yep, doors officially opened that warm summer day and we haven’t looked back since. Still, that original location of ours held the same values as we hold today. We’re still bent on curating quality goods for the community in which we live. Except now we have triple the floor space to bring you triple the essentials.Even so, more changes, perhaps not so joyous, occurred. You probably know, with a heavy heart, the other half of the Wade siblings, Ian, moved to NYC. No need to fret at all. He’s happily off and away taking his very own bite out of that concrete jungle we call the Big Apple.

Meanwhile, back in ol’ Salt Lake City, Helen is still ever-present at the helm. She’s not exactly solo, either. Brett Devereaux quickly moved up the ladder and now helps curate the shop. You’ll see both of them at the store virtually every day. Why? Because they love fashion and because running a clothing and lifestyle shop is not only rewarding and worthwhile work, it can also be difficult and demanding at times as well.

These two though, Helen and Brett, have always had a knack for pulling together immaculate collections of colors and patterns since before they graduated grade school, but cultivating the vibe, the energy, no…the spirit of this shop is a totally different ballgame. No complaints though. Never. Also, no backers, no corporations, and no secret gold keeps us afloat. Nope, we’re independently owned and proud of it. It’s all us – and you, of course. We feel confident by now that you can tell we care a whole hell of a lot about community as well as creating an environment where everyone with a penchant for quality fashion feels welcome. So come one, come all.

All that said, we’d be more than honored if you’d join us this Thursday, July 14th, 2016 from 6-9 PM for an event seven years in the making. It’s not solely our horn that we’ll be tooting, either. Both ourCaste (a “Goods for Life” clothing and lifestyle brand) and Norden (a heritage shop full of quality candles, planters, incense and ceramic goods) are standing proudly beside us to commemorate the bright summer sun beating on our backs as well as seven years total of full-on love for just about everyone who’s helped shape our community brand.

If you’re asking, yes, libations will be served. Plus, there will be music, and it will be danceable, so bring your shoes, or buy some from us if need be. Because guess what? There’s a sale celebrating this joyous anniversary and it’s under way now. Please find all the details you need in the flyer below, and it’d be more than kind of you to help spread the word. So go, disseminate the festive info. Then come strut, swing and sway right along with us.

Raise your glasses filled with whatever you please. Here’s to seven more years. Thank you, truly.
