As the owner of Moxie Multisport, a triathlon training center and retail store, Blake Uptain maintains an intermix of sporty looks during the day and favors clean and monochromatic styles at night. “At work I try to sport the latest athleisurewear while representing Lululemon as an ambassador,” he says. One to test his limits and seek out fitness challenges, Uptain is always ready for whatever activity comes his way. His wardrobe essentials include fashionable sneakers, joggers, stylish yet sporty sweatshirts, trendy baseball caps, and lightweight jackets. “I follow a lot of men’s fashion on Instagram and pick and pull pieces from different sources to create the look that fits my style,” Uptain says. The entrepreneur favors brands like Ted Baker, Hugo Boss, Joe’s, and Creative Recreation. “I have always liked Ted Baker – I found it in early 2006 in Vegas and have been hooked on the brand’s pieces since,” he says. With a closet that resembles organized chaos, Uptain advises to always dress for yourself, be comfortable, and don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone.
What are your favorite trends? I try not to jump on a trend, more so I like to keep it classic and understated as I feel that never stops trending. What is your must-have fashion item? I think every guy should own his own tux. It’s like having a classic watch, it will never be a bad idea to rock it. What will we see you in on weekends? When we do go out for a dinner date or drinks, I wear a nice pair of denim, a Ted Baker jacket, and a crisp button-down.
