1) What made you want to start your blog and how would you describe your style in 3 words?
What started my blog were the college students in my school. I would always dress in a suit or blazer, of course, but the guys would always ask me why I did it. I told them you never know who you will meet downtown, on the train and life is a giant surprise.
3 words to describe my style: dapper, gentleman and business
2) Who is your fashion inspiration?
Tom Ford style and craftsmanship. How he looks at a suit and sees a blank canvas.
3) What’s the one wardrobe essential you cannot live without?
I would say a “Tie Bar”. I am always wearing a tie from the Tie Bar because it keeps my tie straight all hours of the day.
4) What is your favorite thing about blogging?
I would say my favorite is the responses I get back, the feedback from people telling me I did a great job is super rewarding. It’s a great feeling when I know that someone or my audience is inspired by the looks I created; it makes me so humble about growing my blog.
5) What is a quick fashion tip or advice for men?
Never feel over-dressed, if you feel like wearing a shirt and tie everyday, go for it. I would like every gent to be in a suit.
6) Do you have any favorite stores or brands?
Zara, Topman, The Tie Bar & Combat Gent
7) What would you say is your favorite fall/winter trend?
A nice over coat is something every gent needs to keep his eyes for this winter. Something simple but it keeps your suit looking nice. Also I see more men wearing scarves more.
I couldn’t agree more, men should always be in suits, well said Steven! Steven is the first menswear blogger (that I am aware of?) in my city, and I am super impressed, we definitely need more menswear bloggers in Chicago! Come on men! 🙂
