This week, we take you to the Fashism headquarters at General Assembly in New York. For those who have yet to try it, the site allows you to upload a photo of your outfit, ask whether or not it's a good one, and receive feedback from others doing the same thing. Since they see, oh, tons and tons of good (and bad) outfits a day, you can consider the team behind Fashism experts in the styling game. Here's what they wear to work.

Brooke Moreland, Cofounder and CEO: My style is pretty feminine. I'd say it's kind of a grown up urban bohemian. I love wearing vintage clothes, fitted dresses, and high heels. I like for my clothes to be cheerful and fun. I also like to mix it up, and I like to experiment with different styles.

Brooke is wearing a Reiss dress, DKNY tights, Payless shoes, a bracelet from a booth at the Eastern Market in DC., and a Banana Republic bag.

Style advice: Don't buy anything unless you absolutely love it. And if you absolutely love something, find a way to justify buying it.

Pamela Castillo, Director of Product: I like to wear vintage dresses and skirts with wedges in the summer, and black jeans with vintage fur in the winter. Plus, anything leopard print and tons of jewelry. I guess my style is one part Brooklyn boho and three parts crazy old lady. Okay, maybe all parts crazy old lady.

Pamela is wear a Maje space dye sweater by Maje, Rag & Bone bell bottoms, Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony shoes, vintage rings, a vintage fur vest, and necklaces from Market Publique + Brooklyn Charm that launch February 1st on Market Publique.

Style advice: Never underestimate the power of a good pair of sunglasses and a bright lipstick; platforms make everything better; and when in doubt, add vintage to personalize the look.

James Cropcho, Chief Technology Officer: My wardrobe majored in Used Car Salesmanship, with a specialization in Imagined Calgary Runway Fashions of the 1990's. Tell me what I need to do to get you driving this outfit off the lot today!

James is wearing a corduroy blazer, a flannel shirt, a V-neck thermal, and pants from Uniqlo, a secondhand belt from the Gap, Cole Haan socks and shoes, and (not pictured) hot pink boxer-briefs from American Apparel.

Style advice: Above all else, the fit of men's garments is key. Buy some super-cheap dress shirts from a thrift store that fit alright in the shoulders but are too big everywhere else (even way too big is alright). Take them to some well-established, completely hype/hipster-free tailor, like Nelson's on the Lower East Side, and you can get those puppies perfectly sized to your fine frame for under $20 each. Fitted clothing isn't just for the rich, my man! (But spend good money on shoes, please.) Also, men almost always look douchey in hats—avoid them unless you have a fashion black belt and really know what you're doing.

Chamara Paul, Lead Mobile Engineer: My style depends on my mood! But generally I like to wear simple, casual pieces paired with grungy shoes—preferably ones that are really high.

Chamara is wearing a J.Crew sweater, a T-shirt from YesStyle.com, a Madewell skirt, and Schuler & Sons shoes.

Style advice: When shopping, if you have to convince yourself to love something, don't buy it.
