You\u2019ve probably encountered a man who has an impeccable sense of style. The way he presents himself —  down to the smallest details — creates an impression that seems confident, but not fastidious. How does a man develop this type of a style sense? Is it something innate or something acquired through lots of trial and error? <\/span><\/p>\n

My guest today explores those questions in his book, Men and Style: Essays, Interviews and Considerations<\/i><\/a>. His name is David Coggins, and he\u2019s written for Esquire,<\/i> The Financial Times<\/i>, and Traveler. <\/i>In Men and Style<\/i>, he interviews some of the biggest tastemakers in menswear today to figure out the alchemy of the sartorial arts. Today on the show, David and I discuss how a man\u2019s father leaves a lasting influence on his taste in clothing, the style mistakes even the most dapper of grown men made as teenagers, and how the goal of style isn\u2019t to religiously follow rules, but rather to feel comfortable in your own skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even if you’ve never thought much about how you dress, this is a fun podcast. And it’s your chance to hear about the goofy clothes I wore in high school. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
