Ray Nicolas is a real estate broker with Baird & Warner in Glen Ellyn

Number of years in real estate: Four years.

Describe your look: Polished and current.

What do you consider a “fashion don’t”? Wearing a fresh outfit with dingy shoes – invest in a nice pair of shoes before you ruin another outfit.

What is your favorite piece of clothing and why? A well-fitted blazer. Blazers are so versatile; I pair them with dress slacks, chinos and jeans.

What do you consider a must-have accessory? A good watch that helps keep me on schedule.

What is a fashion crime you have committed in the past? Wearing baggy pants, sagging them and exposing my boxers – I swear, they were “in” at one point!

Where are your favorite places to shop? Nordstrom, Banana Republic, DKNY and ALDO Shoes.

What, besides your wardrobe, completes your look? Being well-groomed.
