‘The background behind the picture is my wedding day last summer, definitely a day in which confidence is key in not only their style. My goal was an overall simple look sharp on the details; a custom three piece light
grey suit with ticket pocket, slim French-cuffed shirt, Jayhawk cuff links, some fun pink socks, and a blue-border pocket square complementing the slim pink tie.
I wanted the exterior to accurately portray the interior feeling of confidence I had about making one of the best decisions of my life that day, marrying Emily Prather.'
‘Fashion is incredibly fascinating in it being based solely on opinion–there is no black and white, it is entirely a gray area. Personal opinion, combined with encountering others personal fashion opinions both on the street and in publications, means we will always see new ideas and new products while at the same time old ones being reborn or reused.
My sense of fashion has definitely evolved, and the main theme I stick to now is a confident “Embrace the Lankiness” mindset when outfitting my slender 6′-3″ frame. This means slim-cut is what I look for when adding to my collection.’

‘My Pops’ Best Friends Were The Biggest Influence On Me…’
Story submitted by Andrew Loden

‘My Story comes from a small town, no larger than 5 miles, surrounded by rural farms and cows. A place where being humble and treating others in the ways you would like to be treated came as a way of life. Not much for high economy unless you were a farmer or knew someone who knew a guy, but the morals and values of life kept you up. My pops’ best friends were the biggest influence on me and my morals on life. They instilled respect for others in me and to have confidence in everything I do.
After high school I had the chance to work in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida with my brother in law and his event company. Setting up events and parties for the wealthy and seeing the movie stars and celebs from across the globe. Being star struck for a small town country boy in the big city is an understatement! Being in this environment showed me a lot about style and taught me ways of making a look for myself.’

‘She Also Taught Me That As A Woman I Can Embrace My Homosexuality…’
Story submitted by Camion Horton

‘My style is inspired by how I was raised. My mother raised four children (3 girls, 1 boy) alone and I’m the oldest. She taught me that being well dressed is a form of good manners and coming from the south that is important.
She also taught me that as a woman I can embrace my homosexuality, wisdom, nerdy traits and love for random things through what I wear; so that instead of people judging me when they see me on the subway or bus or walk into my 7am college class they embrace and smile because I am a story expressed through every piece of clothing and fabric that touches my chocolate skin.’
