In Midnight Velvet’s Red Trench Video, I say “Don’t cover up your style, amplify it!” I love that! Just because the temperatures cool doesn’t mean you get to slack on your style! One of the reasons why a coat is so important is you’re going to wear it constantly. Your coat is the piece you go to over and over again. Day after day, week after week, your coat needs to be practical but inspiring! It needs to be something you want to wear.

What’s more practical than a trench coat? It’s a classic piece that never, ever, goes out of style. Think about it? Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s with her khaki trench over a simple black sheath and oversized sunglasses. Catherine Deneuve in Belle du Jour giving a master class in Parisian chic. And super sexy Robyn Givens turning up at Eddie Murphy’s door wearing just a trench over her lingerie in Boomerang! The trench may seem boring but you can’t tell me it’s not sexy!

Work. We spend the majority of our lives putting in work. Whether it’s our careers, relationships or our families, it’s all work. Now I hate working. I’d rather stay in bed all day watching re-runs of “Empire” and eating chips. But I realize that I like nice things, (my shopping addiction is LEGENDARY) and bills must be paid. So I gotta go to work. I also need to work off those chips so I gotta put in work at the gym too. Life = work.

How do I find inspiration to work? I re-language work as an opportunity to dress up. Each day is a chance to express yourself through fashion and work provides an exciting backdrop for that expression. Think about how excited and inspired you feel the first time you wear a brand new outfit! This season Midnight Velvet has some incredible new options that will leave your coworkers stunned, and you feeling inspired and empowered. Watch our Power Up Your Wardrobe video.

I know what you’re thinking: “Must Haves! Must Haves? Who are you to tell me what I MUST HAVE?” For the past few years I have been working with Midnight Velvet and speaking to you, our customers and friends, about fashion. It’s been a blast becoming “Marcellas Reynolds, your personal stylist.” It’s a role I cherish.

Here’s what we know about you, our friends and customers. You have style. You have swag. You know exactly who you are and what you want. You know the image that you want to present to the world. You love fashion, style, and quality. You know that looking good and feeling good are part of the same lovely package. My role here is simple. I’m here to provide levity, fun and a little direction. I’m here to present ideas you may not have thought of. Or just to entertain and inspire you for a minute or 2 while you shop! I love that role. I love what I do and our relationship!
