No one will see the label inside your clothes or know who made the fabric. So, it's more important to develop an eye for what looks good than to rely on brand names. In this thread...
I agree that aesthetics are subjective, but not as subjective as some people think. In other words, it's not subjective in the sense that "anything goes." Rather, it depends on fir...

No, it's not. People can do their jobs just fine without wearing a suit or tie.
The decline of formal attire is linked to social progress in that itโs a byproduct of liberalism (more on this later). But it is not, by itself, progress. In fact, it comes with a...
WHERE YOU CAN BUY THE BEST OF ANY CLOTHING ITEM ๐งต Every once in a while, someone will ask me, "where can I buy the best version of X?" It can be jeans or chinos or shirts or whate...
THOUGHTS ON CREATING GOOD OUTFITS ๐งต A good outfit, to me, tells a story about the person. It's not just a collection of cool stuff, haphazard items, or about just following rules....

one of my favorite purchases of all time is a raglan-sleeved overcoat. it's easy to slip on, protects you from wind and rain, and looks great with either tailored clothing or causa...
MENSWEAR TAKING INSPO FROM WOMENSWEAR ๐งต Best thing to have happened to menswear in last ~7 years is how men and women take inspiration from each other. Many of the things I find i...

crazy to me that the speaker of the US House of Representatives wears dress sneakers https://t.co/uQIDwRAM7F

there are a bunch of companies right now that are doing really cool things with traditional indian textiles: kardo, karu research, and harago among them. the aesthetic sits somewhe...
It's a small thing, but I often see guys in the city wearing mid-calf socks with tailored clothes (suits, sport coats, or dress shirt + trousers), which results in their bare legs...
