- I don't have a problem with this being about Zach,
I just think I would prefer it if it were about me.
But we can talk about Zach.
We can talk about Zach if we need to.
It's fine.
- Changes.
- We all go through them.
- Sometimes they're good
and sometimes they are just the worst.
- Our coworker, Zach, has been a champion
of change recently.
- And we feel like his style could use a revamp.
- We see you, Zach, and how hard you work.
- And we're here for you.
- It's Ladylike.
And today we're styling a boy!
- A boy!
- Beautiful boy.
- Wouldn't you rather that boy was me?
- How's it going, I'm Zach.
I've lost about 40, 45 pounds in the past five, six months.
Because of that my wardrobe has shrunk down significantly.
The reason why I've come to Ladylike
is because I wanna know what the ladies of today
want to see on a guy like me.
- So Zach approached us a couple of months ago
and asked if we could give him a new look,
which is just a lot of pressure
because I don't think any of us have any experience
styling a guy.
Trying to find these clothes, it is so hard.
- Everything is a hot commodity.
Every time I have something in my shopping cart
it gets sold out before I can even check out.
Now styling a man, who I don't really know a ton about,
it's very different.
I'm nervous.
But I'm excited, I'm up for the challenge.
Men's clothes, I really feel like we really want
them to look sharp. - Yeah.
- And in our minds sharp equals expensive,
especially on the website.
- He should definitely own the fact that he can wear
lots of cool things.
'Cause he has this very tall frame.
He's got this beard.
Also, it's summertime so there's lots of different options.
- He recently started taking control
of his relationships and his health,
and so now his look is kind of the last thing, I think,
in order to make him feel like he's a fully changed man.
- And we're just gonna step in
and give him some new clothing options
that can help really reflect this new place that he's in.
- I think this is kinda like a rebirth for him.
- Man-boy, young Zachary, here's your week.
- Alright, it's day one.
I got this gift on Friday from Jen
and I didn't open it up all weekend.
I didn't look at it at all, I promise.
Dear Zach,
wear these with your head held high.
Hollister.
- For Zach what I picked out was this long sleeved shirt,
sort of like a Polo shirt almost,
and it's got maroon and a deep blue on it.
I'm very into having darker colors on the torso
and then having some fun with the pants.
- I kinda like it actually.
I really love the shirt.
The shirt's fantastic.
The shorts are short.
But I like it.
I'm a big fan so far.
- I hope Zach feels like he can walk in to any room
and get a book deal.
- [Zach] Jen styled me today.
- Jen did this?
- [Zach] Yeah.
- [Blonde Woman] It is a change for sure.
- [Zach] The shorts are pretty short, huh?
- [Blonde Woman] Yeah.
- [Zach] Showing a little leg.
- There's a lot of texture and color going on.
- [Zach] This is Jen's outfit.
- I can see that, I can see that.
Jen dresses really comfortable but nice so this works.
You know? - Yeah.
- I like it.
- [Zach] Thank you.
- I like things to be simple and yet also kind of fun.
- She put me in these really nice shorts
that I'm wearing right now,
and this nice, long sleeved top, which really went well,
and it got tons of compliments.
- Hey!
Look at this one.
- [Zach] I like it, Jen, good job.
Good job.
- I think he looks great.
I'm very excited.
That shirt is so cool.
- This is a plus, I appreciate these.
- [Zach] Yeah, and they're not too short?
- No, no, no, they're like perfect.
And I like the shoes they go with them too.
I think this is Jen.
- [Zach] This is Jen.
- Is it? - Yeah, this is Jen.
- Yeah, it looks like Jen.
- [Zach] Yeah, nice.
- Jen, you did a great job, you did a great job.
- Out of all five outfits that was the one
that everybody liked the most.
Every time I asked someone or someone came up to me
like hey are you getting styled differently?
We really liked the first day's outfit, Monday's outfit.
That was Jen's outfit.
- There were so many outfits I saw
when I was shopping for Zach that I was like
that's fucking cute as hell,
I would wear the shit outta that,
and why don't they make that for women?
- Day two, it's Freddie's day.
She's dressing me so I got her package right here.
- I've never actually styled a man before
so what I think may look really bomb may look crazy on him.
- [Zach] Zach, happy Tuesday, champ.
As you throw on these threads
I want you to feel like a million bucks.
- I chose to go for a kind of street style, casual look.
So I got him a charcoal, heather-gray shirt
with floral designs on it, which seems really cool.
I don't know fi he likes flowers but he will this week.
I got him this forest green parka with a hood
to go with it.
- [Zach] That's a nice green jacket.
I like that a lot.
- And I got him some army fatigue kind of sneaker,
moccasin hybrid shoes.
- [Zach] Those are stylish.
Nice job, Fred.
- I'm mixing patterns here.
I have flowers and I have camo,
but I think it works because both of them are pretty low key
and they're not super bright colors.
- The whole outfit's dope.
It's gonna be a little warm today in L.A. for a jacket
but I'll still rock it because it looks good.
- I think it's gonna be very different
from what Zach typically wears
and I hope he's not too startled by the mixing of patterns.
(laughs)
- [Zach] I like the whole outfit, to be honest.
- I just can't stop looking at your ankles.
- [Zach] I got sexy ankles.
(coworkers cooing)
I love the different reactions.
- [Coworker] I love it.
- Honestly, I love it.
You know, it's trendy, it's cute,
but you're not overdoing it.
- [Zach] That's what I think too.
- Yeah.
- I think Zach is gaining more
and more confidence by the day.
I think he feels really good
and I just want his look to kind of reflect how he feels.
- I think you look really cool.
- [Zach] Yeah?
- Yeah, I think you look like ahead of the trend.
- [Zach] I like this a lot.
- You like it?
- [Zach] Yeah, yeah, it's a bit hot for today.
- It's a warm day.
- [Zach] I like it a lot.
- It's a warm day.
- But it's good.
It's something I can wear on the weekends
or even just going out to a bar with friends.
I really enjoyed Freddie's outfit a lot.
It was really cool.
Nice job, Fred.
(Freddie cheers)
- Are you proud? - I'm glad you like it.
- It is day three.
And today is Kristin's outfit.
- The look I picked for Zach is very Jurassic Park chic.
It's sort of a gray, khaki skinny pant
and he has a crisp tank top.
- Actually an interesting outfit.
I like a lot of it.
Just not sure how I feel about
this tank top.
- To put over this tank top I'm giving him
this camel colored shirt with pockets.
- So this is Kristin's outfit.
I actually really like it a lot.
I like the pants and I like the shoes.
Let's rock this.
- He's gonna look like Zach is getting his groove back.
- You have been dressing very differently recently.
It makes me feel like I need to step my game up.
- I think today you look lovely pair of gray slacks.
- [Zach] Someone said I look like a Backstreet Boy.
- [Coworker] Are they jeans?
- [Zach] Yeah.
- Backstreet's back, alright?
(Zach laughs)
- I want my outfit to make people say,
"I wanna get a pina colada with that dude."
- I think I really liked Kristin's Jurassic Park chic.
- [Jen] Yeah, Kristin's outfit was cool.
- [Freddie] Yeah, the Jurassic Park chic
was really on point.
- It's like a part ranger but a park ranger with good style.
- Yeah.
- She has some shoulders.
- The colors are all great.
It's very like, summer feel.
- It never occurred to me to keep my button downs open
with a t-shirt underneath.
But that is something I'm going to be doing from now on.
I don't think I'm gonna take this off
just to wear the tank top, I think that's kind of douchey.
But this is a dope outfit, I like it.
Today is day four.
Devin's dressing me today.
- Zach is a little bro-ey.
He wears button up shirts
and it feels like his style is stuck in a college age place.
And so he wants to expand his horizons.
I selected this bowling shirt from Zara for Men,
and it's kinda like that new millennial pink color.
- Devin and I are really close.
She hit it on the head of what I like to wear
but more particularly what she would style herself as
as a guy.
We got these nice loafers, which are pretty cool.
- So my look is very kind of like retro chic
but also I think it's got a lot of fresh new elements to it
that Zach's gonna be intrigued by.
- It's very Devin, as you can see.
I really love the shirt.
The pants are what I wore with Fred's outfit on Tuesday.
And these are new shoes.
And I got some Sunnies to go with it.
She gave me sunglasses,
these Sunnies that really work well
with the whole entire outfit.
I wore 'em all weekend.
I wore 'em this morning to work.
They're now a permanent fixture hanging in the car.
Wherever I go they go with me.
- I hope this attracts just like, new things in his life
that he will just be completely surprised by.
- Today's I am into.
It's vert Mad Men.
I'm okay with the exposed ankle.
The shoes are great.
- Devin's outfit with the stripes, the black chinos,
and the loafers are really fun.
I love a good loafer.
- I actually think loafers are my favorite type of boy shoe.
- You seem like you might try
and sell me something very suavely.
- [Zach] I might, I might.
- You look like a smart dresser.
- [Zach] Thank you.
I'm trying.
- The sunglasses really pull it together.
- I hope this outfit, like when he looks in the mirror
and sees how amazing he looks and how handsome he is,
that he is willing to go and approach a girl
he would never talk to.
- I've never seen you wear pink before.
However, you're killing it.
- [Zach] Thank you.
- I love it.
(coworkers cooing)
- [Zach] Nice and light.
- Yeah.
- Easy breezy.
- [Zach] Easy breezy, every day.
Every day.
- Yeah, you can, Zach.
- This feels very summer.
It feels nice and fresh
and you look great in it.
- That was the most me I felt out of all the outfits.
You like it?
- [Woman] You make it look so good.
Speak. Speak.
(dog yelps)
Speak, yeah, speak.
(dog whines) (women cooing)
- One more day, huh?
- [Zach] One more day.
One more day with these shoes.
- Tomorrow's the last day and it's my day.
I've always really loved and appreciated men's fashion
and I've always wanted a man that would just let me
dress him however I wanted to.
- Last day which is Chantel's day.
- So the outfit I got him is just
plain, kind of like darkish-blue washed jeans.
- [Zach] Got the white t-shirt.
And the nice leather...
Nice leather jacket.
- A little Henley t-shirt paired with a leather jacket
that kind of has the collars that stick out
a little bit like that.
- And Franklin to go with it.
This was my James Dean look.
- I think that'll be a really classic, clean, and fun look
for Zach that I think he'll feel really confident in.
- The jacket looks great.
It's really nice fitting, it's fantastic.
But it's gonna be like 90 degrees today
and it's gonna be super hot in a leather jacket.
But I'm excited to wear this.
This is a really cool jacket.
Now I've owned winter leather jackets
but they're big and bulky.
They're there to keep you warm.
This was for style.
It was a beautiful outfit.
It's definitely something I'm gonna wear on a cooler day.
I might have to buy a motorcycle now.
(engine revving)
- It's interesting, it's really retro.
- [Zach] Yeah, I'm sweating.
- And also it's 90 degrees so the leather is cagey.
- [Zach] Yeah.
- This definitely felt kind of like
the capstone of his transformation.
I think he was finally starting to be like,
okay I have this new skin
and now I know what to do with this new skin.
- [Zach] I like it.
- This is definitely a sort of Friday day to night vibe
that I was thinking about.
- [Zach] Yeah.
- Someone told me that he looked like
he was dressed by a woman who dates women.
And I was like.
Not far off.
- This is how dads dress when
they're going through mid-life crisis'
and they just got a divorce.
It's like this'll pick up those young ladies.
- [Zach] She dressed me.
- Ooh!
(all laughing)
Walk away slowly.
- Everyone can suck it.
I want people to look at him and see that he is very sweet,
he's very strong, and that he is a man
that's in charge of his own life.
- I love it.
I love the cuffed jeans.
- [Zach] Okay.
- I love the jacket.
- [Zach] I need a motorcycle though.
(laughs)
A pack of cigarettes rolled up in my sleeve.
- You do need all of the above.
- So we styled Zach this week.
- We did. - We did.
- We styled a boy.
- Oh my god, we styled, we did a good job.
- I think Zach pulled off everything awesomely this week.
- Yeah, he looked comfortable in every outfit,
which was the goal really.
- Yeah.
- To be comfortable and to feel like you're yourself
no matter what you're wearing.
- Five girls completely styled me five different ways.
'Cause they all have their unique, individual style points,
which is great.
It really opened up my mind on how I can dress differently.
Or wearing different things that I didn't necessarily
feel like I could rock before.
And to see myself wearing them was awesome.
I can definitely see myself wearing this whole look.
It's definitely sporty, it's definitely like, cool.
This has been a great week with the ladies.
This has been a lot of fun.
I really appreciate all the outfits they picked out for me.
They really did a bang up job.
They did a good job, right?
Yeah, buddy.
Seek help from your female friends.
Ask them to style you.
Ask them to dress you how they would want
to see you dressed as in their own style.
- We hope that he takes some of our tips
and some of the outfits and some of the vibes
that we gave you this week and take them on
into your life.
- Just keep on keeping on, Zach.
- So, styling Zach, lady tested.
- [Both] Lady peacocked.
- He came in this week as Zach Dresler
and came out as Zach Dressed.
- Or Dressed by Her.
- And scene.
(upbeat music)
