Essentials: Nick Wooster

The latest installment of Essentials focuses on Nick Wooster, a New York fashion-influencer whose personal style is a hybrid of street and classical elements, which he eclectically puts together to create his own unique aesthetic. After assuming the role of fashion director at some of New York’s high-end department stores, Wooster’s brand has since taken on a physicality of its own. A self-proclaimed “free agent,” he currently has a social media following approaching 500k, is always ready to collaborate with big brands, and notes that he subscribes to the sartorial mullet: “Stay tailored up top and less buttoned up on the bottom,” he explained in an interview with Details.

For his Essentials, Nick Wooster’s selections are a juxtaposition between classic, refined pieces alongside some bold statement items. Items include the “Douglas” bag from Want les Essentials de la Vie, eponymous “The Wooster” slip-ons by Parabellum x Greats, and the blue/white stripe shirt courtesy of Wooster + Lardini. On the opposite side of the spectrum, the bold pieces take the form of the Boro coat from Rare Weaves, the fuchsia/orange leather zip pouch from Celine, and the Hermes orange leather passport holder. The rest are travel essentials that are a testament to his character and include a matte grey Zippo lighter, “Harding” sunglasses from Garrett Leight, Master and Dynamic headphones, and two travel cases – one vintage and one navy flannel case with reflective trim from the Nick Wooster x Birchbox collaboration. The collection of pieces is complete with the two items necessary for maintaining his strong social media presence and they include an iPhone 6 Plus and a MacBook Pro.
