Writer-actor-producer John Owen Lowe is beyond proud of graduating from Stanford University in 2018 with a degree in science, technology and society. So much so that the prestigious university gets a shout-out in his Instagram bio. “I worked so damn hard to get there,” Lowe, 29, tells Alexa. “SAT prep, GPA, AP classes … the works.” The payoff was worth it, though. “It was so rewarding to be at an institution of that level,” he says. “It helped shape me into the person I am today. So, yeah, it has to be in the bio.”
While Lowe — the son of actor Rob Lowe and his jewelry designer wife, Sheryl — didn’t realize he wanted to get into showbiz while in college, his experiences in the lab helped him co-create, write and star in the comedy “Unstable” for Netflix. He played the son of an eccentric biotech genius, portrayed by his real-life dad. “I didn’t see that coming, but that’s sort of how life works, right? It’s called failing upward!” One major college regret? His wardrobe. “I think I rocked sweats almost every day and rewore the same shirt multiple days in a row,” he confesses.
Now Lowe — who has a house in LA but still spends time with his parents in Beverly Hills and Santa Barbara — is developing and writing “God’s Country,” a family drama executive produced by Chris Pratt that Lowe calls “comedy of manners-meets-Shakespeare.” Thankfully, he’s also made a few more wardrobe upgrades since his college days — here’s a look at the styles he gravitates to post-graduation.
FAVORITE JEWELRY: Mr. Lowe Men’s ring in 14-k gold with variscite and diamond

“It’s fun but not too flashy, and it tells a story. Also … my mom made it. I have to support Mom always. But I genuinely wear this all the time.”
FAVORITE DENIM: Patchwork jeans

“Every single time I wear these, I get stopped and asked who makes them and where to buy them. So, here you go.”
FAVORITE SCENT: Oud Wood Eau de Parfum

“I think my pops wore this first. It’s a classic and it gets the job done every time. Fellas, don’t be out there smelling anything but great … please!”
FAVORITE THRIFTED TOP: Vintage Coca-Cola Tee

“I have way too many thrifted vintage shirts, but I can’t help it. I love finding old gems. I probably have 30 to 40, and three of them are Coca-Cola tees. I just think combining styles of the past with some modern elements is fun and cool. I wish I could raid my dad’s closet from the ’80s. I’d go crazy.”
FAVORITE BUZZ: Nola Craft Instant Coffee Blend

“I am a caffeine fiend. I need it, can’t get enough of it. Blue Bottle Coffee is without a doubt my favorite spot in LA. Trust me, the iced Nola with cold foam is heavenly. But if you aren’t in LA, order their kits.”
FAVORITE LISTEN: “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” Vinyl Record

“Speaks for itself. Every song is incredible — and it’s great for any mood.”
FAVORITE KICKS: BB550 Sneakers

“Comfortable with just a splash of ‘dad-chic’ fashion that I am rather fond of. Think: Adam Sandler as style inspo.”
FAVORITE PAIN RELIEVER: Theragun Relief Massager

“I get sore easily. I’m a fragile man. This thing works out knots, and it’s simple to use.”
FAVORITE GAME-NIGHT GEAR: Rummikub Game with Travel Case

“This is easy to learn and super competitive (like me). I guess I’m just a big believer in a fun game with people you love.”
FAVORITE GADGET: Tile Slim Tracker

“I am the guy that loses my keys, wallet, phone. It’s a curse. But this little gadget saves my life. I slip it into my wallet and it connects through Bluetooth to the phone. So if I ever leave the wallet behind somewhere, this thing catches it!”
FAVORITE READ: “The Power of Now” byEckhart Tolle

“The messaging in his words, the spiritual suggestions, perspectives on time and self … I think anyone could benefit from giving this a slow read.”
FAVORITE INSTRUMENT: P-143 88-Key Portable Digital Piano

“I’ve been playing piano my entire life. I absolutely adore it. We can’t all have a grand piano in our house, so this is the next best option for now.”
FAVORITE HAIR PRODUCT: Styling Paste

“It’s the only product I know that gives my hair the ‘I just hopped out of the ocean from a great surf session’ look. (Yes, I grew up surfing. I promise I’m not a poser.) It smells great, holds well — love this stuff.”
FAVORITE COMFORT: Men’s Quarter Socks

“These are the comfiest socks out there and socks are the foundation of every outfit. Don’t overlook them!”
