Wyatt Mitchell isn't afraid to wear a onesie
Over the years, Mitchell's taste has evolved in a way that has given his style some serious range—from traditional denim workwear to precisely tailored clothing to a bow tie, depending on what he's trying to convey to the world.
'Style is a tool you can use for yourself mentally, and externally for other people,' he says. 'I like the ability to use a tool like that to telegraph certain things about me.' [Photo: Ashley Bloom/Apple]
Though Mitchell is hesitant to pigeonhole his personal style, he has become known for his signature look of traditional workwear coveralls and jumpsuits, which he sources from automotive workwear websites or RRL. In 2019, Mitchell went viral when he walked on stage at Apple's annual developer conference in a white coverall from RRL and Off-White sneakers.

Mitchell's look was celebrated across fashion blogs for its obvious contrast to the typical jeans-and-a-shirt tech world uniform at the time. 'What you wear is an extension of your visual acuity,' he says. 'I don't try to take on entirely new styles. I'm not that sort of free, but I do like the evolution.' [Photo: Lilly Red (portrait)]
In a world of sameness, Mitchell is doing the exact thing that all good style leaders do: they unabashedly wear what inspires them, and do it repeatedly. 'It's a little scary—my closet is predominantly suits, overalls, and coveralls,' he says. 'I should probably pare that down.'
Describe your style in a sentence.
I honestly don't think I can put that in to words. And if I could, I would be a writer. Sorry.
What's the one piece in your closet you'll never get rid of?
Nothing is sacred, but I'll probably always have a pair of Chucks.

How long does it take you to get dressed in the morning?
Varies. Some days I can get dressed in one motion. Other days can be full of trial and error.
What do you wear to a big meeting?
As a designer, I think its important to look like you understand aesthetics.
What's the best piece of fashion advice you've ever gotten?
'That shirt is too small for you.'

Reformation's Summer Sale Is Here—Save 30% On These Editor-Approved Styles
With fall on the horizon, it's time to start thinking about your transitional wardrobe. So the latest Reformation sale couldn't have come at a better time. During Reformation's Summer Sale, you can save 30% on tons of end-of-summer staples and fall essentials (like the Bethany Ballet Flat, a Forbes Vetted editor favorite). This is one of only of two major sales the brand hosts per year, so don't let it pass you by. Save 30% on bestsellers and fall essentials during this week's Reformation Sale. Illustration: Forbes / Image: Retailer We expect the Reformation sale to run for at least a couple more days, but the most coveted pieces will likely sell out before today is over. With that in mind, our assistant deals editor pulled out 10 styles that she recommends adding to your cart while you still can. The Bethany Ballet Flat: Now $188, Was $268 (30% Off) Jadey Cashmere Oversized V-Neck Sweater: Now $209, Was $298 (30% Off) Cary High Rise Slouchy Wide Leg Jeans: Now $153, Was $218 (30% Off) Caspia Cashmere Cropped Cardigan: Now $139, Was $198 (30% Off) Mallori Closed Toe Heel: Now $195, Was $278 (30% Off) Diara Dress: Now $244, Was $348 (30% Off) Faye Cotton Sweater Vest: Now $125, Was $178 (30% Off) Irene Jacket: Now $279, Was $398 (30% Off) Lindsey Linen Two Piece: Now $153, Was $218 (30% Off) Oversized Patrizia Bag: Now $419, Was $598 (30% Off) Lifestyle editor Katherine Louie loves these Reformation flats for their cool aesthetic and surprising comfort. "The mesh feels breathable and flexible, and I've worn these for extended periods without blisters or uncomfortable rubbing," she says. Two colorways are currently on sale. No fall wardrobe is complete without a cozy, oversized sweater. This Reformation design is made of recycled cashmere with dropped shoulders and a ribbed hem that's meant to feel roomy—perfect for layering. Six colorways and patterns are included in the sale. This slouchy wide-leg jean fits like your classic no-stretch vintage denim. It can take some time to get used to, but the result is a cool and durable pant that molds to your body over time. This style's cut is relaxed but chic; easy to dress up or down, and available in 11 patterns and colorways. (If you prefer a 90s straight cut, the Val 90s Mid Rise Straight Jeans are on sale as well.) Another cashmere essential, this cropped cardigan is on sale in two colors. It's not always easy to find good quality cashmere on sale, so this is a great chance to grab a piece for less. 'I own several cashmere sweaters from Reformation and they've held up beautifully over the years with zero pilling,' says Louie. Reformation is great for wedding season. The brand has tons of gorgeous dresses fit for just about any occasion, like the halter Diara Dress above. It has a fitted bodice, flowing skirt and pockets. The sale price is available in the pictured pattern as well as a pink floral design. Sweater vests can do a lot of heavy lifting in a fall wardrobe. Layer it up for cooler weather or wear it on its own for those days when the temperature creeps back up. This shirt is made with organic cotton, designed with a slim fit and available in two colors. If you're on the lookout for a good cool-weather jacket, this wool coat is on sale in four shades. It has a simple, timeless aesthetic that you'll return to again and again. The jacket is meant to have an oversized fit, but you can also size down for a more tailored look. I love a set. I picked up a red version of this linen set for a summer wedding and it was perfect. The style is sleek and tailored but still comfortable; essentially a blank canvas that can be dressed up or down to create your perfect look. (I paired mine with some lime green kitten heels, similar to this Serenity Bare Sandal which is currently on sale in red.) Oversized bags are trendy again, but you don't want something so large that it loses all practical function. This sleek bowler bag has enough space for all the essentials—including your laptop—as well as functional features like adjustable sides, interior pockets and a magnetic closure.

I have a store credit at Reformation. Here's what I'm buying during its rare sale
Earlier in the year, I covered Reformation's last sale that had savings of up to 70% off. This time around, tons of best sellers, newly released items and seasonal favorites are 30% off. While the discount isn't as high as the clear out in January, it's more consistent and tons of coveted styles are available to shop — plus the stock of available sizes and colors is remarkable. I'm personally shopping this sale because I've been patiently waiting for the brand to have a sale since I need a little wardrobe refresh ahead of fall. With a vacation coming up, concerts to attend and more, I'm ready to add a few pieces to my closet. Shop 15 of my favorite picks below. Reformation Cheri Knit Dress For the early fall days when it's too hot to wear pants, but the environment doesn't call for shorts, reach for this dress. It's a little black option for date nights and pairs well with ballet flats for casual days out. Reformation Kendi Denim Midi Dress Imagine zipping this midi dress up with cowboy boots and a matching leather belt. The flattering hemming and high neckline make this a go-to for office days and post-work happy hours. Reformation Galene Dress For a traditional A-line option, this adorable collared dress certainly delivers on style and comfort. It's significantly discounted in an adorable polka dot or classic black with a white collar. Reformation Ciana Satin Dress Fall weddings are seriously underrated and if you're jetting off to one in a few months, this over $100 off dress should be at the top of your list. It has a 90s flair, is sexy but also modest, especially in the chocolate brown color. Reformation Kella Knit Dress In my opinion, this dress looks way more than its retail price and I'm shocked to see it even lower during this sale. The knit top and full skirt are made from one-of-a-kind, deadstock fabric and can be worn to a variety of formal events. Reformation Ellen Knit Top Ditch your overworn capped-sleeve tee or knit tank and elevate your in-office attire with this on-sale pick. This deep navy top adorned with preppy white and gold buttons screams quiet luxury without the steep price tag. Reformation Ryland Tank The last time I was in Reformation's store in New York City, I tried this tank on. They didn't have my preferred size at the time, but I fell in love with the now on sale Mineral color that's fully stocked in all five sizes. Reformation Aubrey Knit Top As many of us older Gen Zers and millennials enter our late 20s and 30s, body suits start to become a thing of the past. Luckily, Reformation makes tons of "going out tops" — like this one — that are a bit more elevated and tasteful. Reformation Lottie Vest Tailored vests hold a special place in my heart and take a basic outfit like jeans and sandals to the next level with its smart lines and sleek fit. According to the brand, it runs a bit large, so we recommend measuring yourself before checking out. Reformation Sammi Knit Jacket A tiny jacket that doubles as a top is a must-have for cooler nights out or for when you want to layer over a tee or sleeveless top. It's sub $90, is fitted throughout and can be worn open or closed. Reformation Carter Mid Rise Pant I prefer a tailored work pant sans pleats and have been waiting for these to go on sale since their inception. Getting ready for the office has never been easier now that every color (including solids and stripes) is 30% off ahead of fall. Reformation Bella Velvet Skirt Swap out your linen maxi skirts or thinner slips come September for this substantial velvet option. It has a slimming effect, thanks to its stitched back darts, and hits right at your hip. Reformation Carla Low Waist Skirt As someone who has a lot of concerts coming up this fall, I've been looking for inspiration on Pinterest to figure out what to wear. One piece that's a must for me is a mini skirt and I'm leaning towards the chunky sequinned and solid red in this low-rise A-line. Reformation Abby Low Rise Straight Jeans Another sign of adulthood — for me at least — is the fact that I've swapped out most of my high-waisted pants for looser, and lower-rise options. I feel cooler, am simply more comfortable and prefer the relaxed look. Reformation Tyler Mid Rise Barrel Jeans As a barrel jeans enthusiast, I was skeptical about this pair from Reformation, but let me just say, they proved me wrong. They hugged my body in all the right places, were well crafted down to the stitching, buttons and zipper and are well worth every penny. If you're a follower of the sustainable clothing brand, you are probably aware that they rarely have sales and never keep a section of markdowns on site or in store outside of these limited events. I've been shopping at Reformation and consistently shop there for wedding guest dresses, other formal events and even for some basics. With September just a few weeks away, many of us need new staple pieces for the fall and winter months and Reformation is a great retailer to flock to for capsule wardrobe items and fashion deals. Think basic tees, timeless sweaters, ethically made denim and more. Our deals team has over a decade of combined commerce journalism experience. Rikka Altland, Jacqueline Saguin and Elena Matarazzo source the deals for the day each morning to curate one-offs and retailer-specific roundups of the best sales to shop. Searching everything from coveted pieces from Lululemon to the best picks from Dyson's sale, the team works across a wide variety of categories to ensure we're finding the best buys for our readers.
