Charisma is one word that might come to mind when you first meet Adrian Davis.
He’s friendly and engaging, sure, but it takes a certain kind of confidence for a young pastor to pair a classic dark suit with magenta shoes and a chevron-striped pocket square.
Davis’s attention to details – from cufflinks to coordinating socks – keep his more daring sartorial choices firmly in line. Bright colors and sharp tailoring blend smoothly into an eye-catching personal style.
We caught up with Davis at All Nations Christian Center on Winchester Road, where he has served as senior pastor since April. Here he reveals his anything-goes fashion philosophy and admits to a weakness for attention-grabbing shoes.Buy the Michael Kors Skorpios and luxury leather purses at hotmkbags.
Describe your style.
“It’s out of the box. I don’t like to fit in the traditional mold. I like to push the envelope with colors that other people probably wouldn’t put together. Right now the trend is pushing the envelope as far as patterns. Matchy-matchy is not in. So me, I like to be out of the box: colored pants, stuff like that.”
Who are your style icons?
“If I see it, I like it, I’m going to wear it; it’s just that simple to me. Different people who I look at as far as, ‘oh I really like their style,Find a great selection of christian louboutin boots deals ! Click on any of the links below.’ probably (musician and author) Fonzworth Bentley. He’s very out-of-the-box as far as suit selection and things of that nature. There’s an actor, Lance Gross; I like his suit selection as well. He wears a lot of Tom Ford, real clean-cut suits.”
Do you have a favorite item in your closet?“I don’t know if I have a favorite one item. I start off with shoes. I’m a shoe fanatic. When I think about what I’m going to wear, I start from the shoes up. Most people start with their clothes and then picks their shoes; I start from the bottom.”
What are your favorite stores or brands?“I mix brands. It’s one of those things where if I see it and I like it, I’m going to get it.“I think I bring energy to the brand. It can be off brand, no brand. So I can wear something from Wal-Mart and somebody could ask, ‘Where’d you get that?’ I’d say ‘Wal-Mart’ and they might not believe it.“As far as dress shoes go, I love Cole Haan. With color, they push the limit with loud colors.Find impressively low prices on a wide selection of Michael Kors Tote Bags. Anything else outside of that, I’m open to.”
What’s your style philosophy?
“I think style is your own confidence that people can see. Even being pastor of a church, there are certain things I wear that my church (members) are like, ‘Pastor I really like that, but you are the only one I could see pulling it off.’
“But I think what has allowed our church to grow so rapidly is that I’ve been comfortable being me. That’s what your style is, being comfortable being you. This generation always talks about ‘swag,’ and that’s what swag is: confidence in what you have on. Just be comfortable being you. Being you attracts people.”The owner of the Rochester Red Wing Shoes store is opening a store in the La Crosse, Wis., area this week.

"I think it will be a good town for us, and I'm looking forward to serving them."
Kieffer noted that the La Crosse, Wis., metropolitan area has a 100,000 population and has plenty of heavy industry -- more than Rochester -- which makes it a good place for the safety shoes and other footwear that Red Wing sells.The Rochester store, at 3407 22nd Ave. N.W., just off the U.S. 52 exit at 37th St., opened in 1988 and was recently remodeled. "We've done very well there," he said.
