Along the same lines of what Lakin is saying about building a sustainable wardrobe and getting rid of some things you don't need, I really believe that for guys, building a classic menswear wardrobe is one of the most sustainable practices that they could have because we talk about these foundational pieces. There are simple things that can be styled in many different ways, so lots of versatility.

And once you get those pieces in your wardrobe, there's any number of things that you can do with them including adding your own personal spin on things.

I'm just curious, Lakin, what do you tell them how to start developing a different type of style or experimenting with stuff?

I would also say in terms of sizing, size is just a number. There's been a lot of people just get so wrapped up in, oh, I should be a size whatever, you know, myself included until, you know, recently. I don't care whether I'm wearing a 30 waist or a 32 or a 35. All brands are different. It doesn't matter. The question you should ask yourself is, does this look good on me?

And do I feel good wearing this? Don't worry about the size. Worry about how it looks on your body. And then you'll feel much better and more confident wearing that.

I think the amount of content and people, different types of people, different types of styles, different platforms that speak to different demographics, I think it's fantastic because there's so much out there now and you can really find – what you gravitate towards, and you can find your tribe in a way, your style tribe, and say, I like that. I like these people.

And then what I've found, at least in menswear, is people are generally very, very supportive. The amount of stuff available on the internet and the way we can kind of section it off for ourselves and curate it to our own taste is a real positive.
