‘I dress for myself As a clothing-obsessed individual. I became the go-to resource for my mate’s fashion-related questions. As a response, I started ‘The Dapper Label’ to share my opinions on men’s style.
The Dapper Label serves as an agent for those with an appreciation of quality and style. Its always how a person is dressed that speaks for them. I feel it just gives you so much more confidence and respect if you dress dapper! Your dressing speaks for you even when you’re not saying anything! That’s the power of a well dressed man!
Ever since my childhood I always noticed what people would wear & how they would team up different pieces. Sadly, in India there are very few people who go out of their way to dress well and not stick to the usual boring attire. My blog is constantly evolving & I hope I can spread out to everyone and give them that little push to dress well & look dapper!'

'It all started about two years ago. I was still in law school at the time and saw how people were dressing around me. Not caring at all how they looked. Then when I would come back home for a visit, I would see that people really did not know the basics of dressing. So my brother and I started Teaching Men's Fashion and as our motto from day one states, we try to change one man at a time. It has been a great process and throughout this whole process I have also learned a lot more about fashion.'

'I considered myself a versatile dresser, concerned with only one thing and that is "FIT." Big name brands down to thrifted goods, sneakers to shoes as long as the fit is on point everything else follows.
There is no other way for me to go around this venture into fashion other than accidental. Being a Respiratory Therapist, suiting up is not something that's required of me for work where I spend 70% of my time. However being a photographer and an artist, accidentally propelled me into an attraction for Menswear. The way you present yourself directly affects your business and it was a no-brainer for me to represent myself to clients in the most polished of ways.
So I started buying suits, wearing ties and purchasing shoes, balancing out my wardrobe which at one point consisted of only sneakers. Over the last couple of years this
evolved my style into what is referred to as an Urban Gent. This made me a very versatile dresser and I guess that's what people are so drawn by. As long as the fit is correct I believe you can be dapper in just about anything and it doesn't have to be a suit and tie.
I really don't consider myself a fashion guy and certainly have surprised myself when I've been invited to private GQ parties, seen my picture printed in a magazine, have had photoshoots with famed fashion blogs, etc....I get this feeling of "how did I end up here?" And I guess that's why I think of all this as sort of a cool "accident."
