Creator, strategist, model, and more, Alexander Roth (@alexanderdroth) is all things fashion. Painters have brushes, writers have pens, Alexander has an all-encompassing wardrobe. Audacious and dynamic, his outfits often blur the lines of traditionally gendered fashion with deconstructed jeans, semi-sheer tops, and flared coats. In a world of over-saturation, nothing is more important than being comfortable in your own skin and Alexander lives that to his core.
“The jackets you'll hand down to your children. A classy canvas jacket and a well fitting denim jacket that can last the test of time and ever-changing fashion trends.”
“Every outfit needs to start somewhere. Make it easy with this Our Legacy piece. Simple as that.”
“A different take on your boyfriend's shirt by Raf Simons. When was the last time you had a pink shirt in your wardrobe?”
“Nothing can go wrong with getting a hoodie for the winter. Especially if it's a hoodie with some flare, and this Jacquemus hoodie just stands out from the rest.”
“For the girls, but also for the guys. Be yourself, and have some fun.”
“2 in 1. A sweater is better with a little something extra.”
“Not only do I have two pairs in black, but I will be buying a third. They are as necessary as I make them seem, so you’ll also need them in blue.”
“Stay warm this winter with the coziest scarf you've never had, and a phone-friendly scarf that is also a great styling piece.“
“Round up your cool look with this cap and pair of sunglasses. Perfect for the imminent holiday hangover.”
“Adding something colorful to your wrist that will make them talk, or if wanna stay low-key, go for these more subtle earrings, either way they will step up your accessory game.”
“Carry all your Christmas goodies in style with these two practical bags. One in denim and one in coated cotton, even Santa Claus would be tempted to change bags for once.”
“Maison Margiela’s shopping bag that can also be your comfortable neck pillow. Or go for something timeless with this Bottega Veneta shoulder bag.”
“Don't compromise fashion for utility. Ever. But, if you wanna hold on to your wallet, hold on to something a bit chicer and understated.”
“Look no further than these classic loafers with a modern twist that will go well with your perfectly tailored suit. Oh, and a pair of tabi socks to go with your new tabi loafers.”
“Shoes that look much better on your feet when you've worn them to death, so you might as well get a pair, it will stand the test of time.”
“For that ski trip that you planned with your friends but never happened. Still, one could always hope, so here you go.”
“Who said sandals are only for the summer? Everyone’s probably wearing loafers to the holiday party, so be a little different this winter and go for these instead.”
“Everyone needs a cozy slipper in their closet. No one wants to have cold feet.”
“Care for your hands like I care for the official scent of my apartment. (Public Hotel as well, 10/10 recommended.”
“What you put on your table tells a lot about you. Let them know you read, but not that much; you care about travel, but haven't gone anywhere on your bucket list. Also, let them know they can smoke it up at your place.”
