'Confidence and Diversity reflect me, so I incorporate that in whatever I do. Back in college comrades of mine used to get mad at the fact that I always bailed out whenever we all planned to dress up. I started building a wardrobe the summer before my senior yearr of college. I'm a Finance guy and menswear is very important. From then on I started falling more and more in love with menswear.
According to my fiancée my style is modern, dapper, and preppy. People also call me the 'socks guy'. Monday through Friday you'll catch me wearing suits, ties and socks. You'll always see me with a fresh and flashy pair of socks week round. Details play an important role. It was something that speaks in my personal style. It could be any essentials that I wear but the socks will reflect the color of my tie or pocket square in my suit.
Self confidence, details and fit have always been important in my style. My dad always tell me, "That first impression is important and your personality can be judged by the way you dress."'

As A Former Undocumented Immigrant With College Degrees, I Now Have The Opportunity To Finally Pursue The Life I Always Wanted

'After living in “the shadows” for 25 years as a former undocumented immigrant with college degrees, I now have the opportunity to finally pursue the life I always wanted.
What does this have to do with my choice in style? Well, for many years, I’ve had dreams and aspirations that seemed to go nowhere, among them the opportunity to be able to dress up for the job I wanted. I made the huge leap of faith a few weeks ago by going from relaxed Southern California to the tall and fast moving New York City metropolis. My goal is to finally pursue a career that I always wanted. For this, I have to dress up how I always wanted to dress up.
Every time I put on a suit, it is not just clothes that I wear, it is the hearts and souls of all those friends and family who have sacrificed and supported me along this adversity paved road that I travel. The suit I wear at an interview and hopefully a new career will not just show my “choice in style,” but it will be a personal reminder that these loved ones will be with me in every success to come. They have given me patience, confidence and most importantly, the suit represents hope. A reminder that this new chapter would not have been possible without wonderful support. They are the real threads and fabric of the suit that are making this dream come true. I proudly wear and carry their memories, but most important as a reminder of not forgetting where I come from.'
