'Fashion has always been my true love from birth. One of the main reasons I have this love for fashion and the way I dress today is because my mom. As a kid I was never allowed to leave my house not dressed well because if I wasn't it would be a bad representation of my mother. I was taught to be well groomed, presentable and to always show my best self.
When it comes to the man I am today my style is effortless. I love bold detail. One day I feel like wearing a baseball cap and sneakers the next day I want to wear a blazer and dress pants. I love being free when it comes to my style and always try to stay true to who I am and what I love- it's a feeling.'

Eventually An Epiphany. I Wasn't Meant To Follow Everyone Else

'When I was young, I was awkward, overweight and insecure. I always quietly admired and envied all girls around me who were thin, fashionable and so confident. When I matured I worked on myself, lost weight and slowly gained the courage to try some of the current trends. I found myself disappointed that I still didn’t feel as confident as all the other girls...
Eventually an epiphany; I wasn’t meant to follow everyone else. I cleaned out my closet, purchased some budget friendly basics, invested in some higher-end timeless pieces and filled in the rest with some fabulous thrift finds and slowly found my style.
Style, to me didn’t come easily. It was a challenge, and well worth it. It shows others that you're a person of interest and that life is worth making the effort for. Style is inspiring.'

'I started my transition into menswear going into my junior year of college. Since middle school, I had avidly been involved with the sneaker culture but as I aged, I realized that my fondness for that world started to diminish and instead I looked toward a bright new future. Through the help of many inspirational people, I began finding myself and eventually became an established contributor on a thread titled "Dressing Better" on NikeTalk.com.
From this point I began molding what I loved about fashion into my own attire. Eventually I ended up becoming recognized for my sense of style and won TSBMen's May Giveaway. Since then, I have also been featured on TSB's website and have built a strong relationship with members on both there and the NikeTalk community through a shared love of fashion.
Now that I am finished with my undergrad and have a job as an in house accountant for a software reselling firm, I strive to enhance my wardrobe with timeless pieces, one purchase at a time. I would define my style as "Classic with a Twist". This is very prevalent in my suiting choices which takes great inspiration from the 60's and 70's. Rather than fall into the pit of fast fashion trends, I prefer to make strides to create a sense of style that will last the test of time.'
