This week’s Style Icon is a hockey player who knows that “formal” isn’t just for prom! Meet Jon Carkeek’17!

What would you describe your style as? Formal men’s wear. That’s my favorite. Day-to-day, my style is more conservative and has street wear influences, but I try to stay pretty quiet and subtle. I don’t really like bright colors or screaming for attention. I like to think I have my own style.
Any style icons? Matt Bomer’s character in White Collar sparked my first interest in fashion, so I have to say he is my style icon.
Where do you love to shop? I love to shop at Nordstrom’s Rack and other discount places. But as far a retail goes, I love Cole Haan. All of my pairs of dress shoes but one are Cole Haan.
Favorite pieces in your closet right now: I just bought a new navy suit from Hugo Boss, so that is the obvious winner. But I love the William Rast camo jeans I got on Black Friday for 15 dollars and my new pair of Cole Haan single strap, brown, monk shoes as well
Are you loving any recent trends? I am loving the camo trend right now, along with cuffed trousers. Those are my go-to looks this winter when I can!
Do you have a signature look? Like every hockey player, my signature look is a peacoat. A nice peacoat is warm and stylish and gives an heir of formality to informal outfits.
