Will and Nicole

Surprise Double Ambush!

Thirty-year-old Will was nominated by his future wife, 28-year-old Nicole. The couple are getting married in June. Will works on the Internet side of an insurance company, and Nicole works in freelance marketing. Will has recently lost a lot of weight in preparation for his wedding, but at 6 foot 3 inches he's still a big man. Nicole nominated Will because he's wearing the same clothes he wore before he lost weight - only now he rolls the waistbands so his trousers don't fall down. And it's all about casual wear. He thinks soccer jerseys are far more fashionable than basketball or football as they are better cut and made of material that breathes! With the soccer jersey he wears swim trunks - not shorts or jeans - but swim trunks!

Nicole thinks soccer jerseys should only be worn on the field, but when we stopped both of them while they were out shopping she had a soccer jersey on too! So with the wedding approaching, Stacy and Clinton need to show this duo that there is more to wedded bliss than his and hers soccer jerseys. They both need to smarten up their acts as they embark on the next chapter of their lives! We know Will thinks he knows how to dress - he can name designers, etc. We don't know what Nicole's thinking at all. But what we do know is that they are BOTH in for the surprise of their lives!

Nicole's Rules and Mannequins

Mannequin #1 (Business):

• Macy's: Tahari Black Suit
• Club Monaco: Blue/white Striped Shirt
• Loehmann's: Kieran Turquoise Top
• Sacco: Black Slingback Heels

Rules:

• Turquoise color pops with classic black suit.
• Combine neutral colored suit over colorful layer for modern touch in contrast with Nicole's former one-colored suits which drowned her in color and dated her to the '80s.
• Buy pieces in mind for layering which gives character, sophistication and depth, and adds mileage to your wardrobe.
• Slingbacks are sexy and sophisticated with a narrower heel.

Mannequin #2 (Casual):

• Club Monaco: Blue V-Neck Sweater
• Club Monaco: White T-Shirt
• Macy's: Jones New York Olive Capri Pants
• Loehmann's: Red Luggage Orange Flip Flops

Rules:

• Layer shirts for sporty, modern look.
• V-Neck draws attention to face.
• Olive Capri pants are slightly longer and wider leg than Nicole's red capris and create a flattering silhouette for Nicole's curves.
• Combine neutral colored suit over colorful layer for modern touch in contrast with Nicole's.

Will's Rules and Mannequins

Mannequin #1 (Business):

• Bloomingdale's: Martin Gordon Yellow/Green Striped Shirt
• Barneys Co-op: Sea Green T-Shirt
• Banana Republic: Grey Flat Front Trousers
• Loehmann's: Hugo Boss Brown Sportscoat
• Aldo: Dark Brown Shoes
• Gap: Dark Brown Belt

Rules:

• For fit of shirt, get neck and arms measured. Make sure shoulder seam falls on shoulder.
• For Will's tall, broad-shouldered torso, wider American cut shirts are a better fit than narrower European cuts.
• Striped button-down shirt adds interest to outfit.
• Grey flat front trousers topped with a sportscoat modernizes Will's office look. Sportscoat can be 3 button or classic 2 button, but no more than 3 for Will's stature.
• Match dark brown shoes and belt.

Mannequin #2 (Casual):

• Macy's: DKNY Orange Hooded Sweater
• Macy's: Tommy Hilfiger Blue/Red Striped Shirt
• Macy's: DKNY Khaki Cargo Pants
• Diesel: Green Sneakers

Rules:

• Layers are sporty but not so sports-specific as Will's soccer jerseys.
• Wide straight-leg cargo pants replace Will's hugely oversized jeans.
• Pull up orange shirt a bit for blousing effect and button-down shirt untucked to camouflage stomach area.
• Cargo pants are a modern take on khaki in casual wear.
