Grant McNamara GPS | Groom's Personal Stylist

GRANT MCNAMARA: DEDICATED TO HELPING THE DUDES... Grant McNamara created GPS almost by accident. Three years ago, the Chicago-native was asked by a relative, an event/wedding planner, to help dress the groom for his big day. Though experienced in fashion and style, this was a first. It wouldn’t be his last. Grant’s unmistakable style, trained eye, intuitive understanding of color, fabric and wear and an exquisite aesthetic helped the soon-to-be-husband look and feel his very best.

(GPS), a “wedding fashion navigator who helps them look perfect before, and on, wedding day with concierge and day-of styling services,” says Grant. “I consult with grooms ahead of the wedding to ensure their outfit is exactly as desired, everything is perfectly coordinated between the groomsmen, bridesmaids and family members. We are the only company dedicated to helping the groom and groomsmen before the wedding day.”

His work that day convinced him there was a market for dressing men on special occasions, and soon he made it a business: Groom's Personal Stylist

The business exploded, and so did his company. Grant expanded by styling men for every occasion, whether it be the office, home or social

occasions with a new service, “Gentlemen’s Personal Stylist,” which offers men “image consulting, personal development and education” in the art of developing their own style.” His clients have grown to include players from the Milwaukee Bucks, Chicago Bears and Blackeye goalie, Chris Crawford. Working with both existing wardrobes and new custom clothes “guys learn about themselves, their personal brands, the gap between how they currently represent themselves and where they want to be, steps to close that gap and how to do it themselves,” Grant says. “It’s a journey of style development, sophistication and fun.” “We look at the entire picture, and that creates a better, more thorough offering,” Grant continues. Body type, skin tone, profession and aspirations all factor into the process, as well as educating men about the intricacies about style.“ A key piece of GPS is the bespoke experience: creating new clothes for men to add to their existing wardrobe.” My niche is geared more towards guys that really care about improving their look/image/style,” he says.“ I have a few guys where we made them suits and they were on their way. Totally fine. But the guys that get the most value out of it are the ones that care a little more.” The process is very involved and personal -- Grant works with men on choosing color, fabrics and cuts, making sure every part of the wardrobe reflects not just their life and personality, but their aspirations.“Style is fun, it is intimate, it is unique. It’s important because it allows people to better understand themselves and how they want to share that with the world,” Grant says.
