Branding Yourself at Meet the Firms

Posted on October 19, 2015 by Ethan

Every year, La Sierra University hosts a Meet the Firms Night, an event where business and students get to interact and develop their networks. Unfortunately, people come to the event wearing the most basic corporate attire, students and businesses included. However, there were some individuals who stood out to me among the sea of boring black suits. Kudos to these guys for being able to look stylish and professional, as they handed out resumes for potential jobs or advertised their business to the people in attendance.

Let Your Pants Keep You Cool

Posted on August 26, 2015 by Ethan

A lot of guys make the misconception that all suit (or dress pants) are the same. They believe that these pants are always thick and itchy, which leads to men not dressing very well during the summer. I’ve seen so many guys in shorts and sandals that it makes me sick! Hot weather doesn’t give you an excuse to dress badly. Sure you don’t have to wear a jacket or suit all the time, but pants are required in almost any situation. So in this post, I’m going to talk about a few pairs of pants that I love wearing in the summer because they look great and they’re freaking comfortable as hell. Apparently men prefer comfort over style, so why can’t you have both? Read More

Ethan’s Style Inspirations (Or Guys You Should Follow)

Posted on August 1, 2015 by Ethan

As I’ve admitted many times before, I have not always dressed well. In fact, it took me halfway into my first year at college for me to start wearing button up shirts (that didn’t fit). What inspired me to dress well was looking at the guys on campus who looked like I wanted to look. They walked around with confidence, each having their unique outfit that made them special. I was jealous! I craved to the ability to look good and not just wear shorts and a tee everyday. Eventually I realized that I should stop wanting to dress like them; I should just do it. Read More

Sheep to the Trend Shepherd

Posted on July 14, 2015 by Ethan

We currently live in a world of fast fashion: Cotton On, H&M, and Forever 21 seem to have sales everyday, fashion bloggers feature their latest finds, and Goodwill attendance has grown. While I think it’s great that style is now in the hands of the everyman, I sincerely believe that people are being taken advantage of. People assume that being into “fashion” means you’re blindly following the latest trends and becoming slaves to the constant sales. I’m here to tell you that’s not the case.

“The End of An Era” – Graduation 2015

Posted on June 19, 2015 by Ethan

I did it guys. I graduated college in 3 years with Summa Cum Laude. However, what I’m most proud of is the outfits I wore for graduation weekend. Since this was a momentous occasion, I decided to go all out with what I wore. Even though I went out with a bang, I still aspire to continue to grow my ideas on fashion and style and use that knowledge to help you, my faithful readers, look the best that you can be! So here are my three outfits for my proudest day!

What I Wish I Knew

Look at the picture above. Jeremiah, on the right, looks like how I dress now, and I look like a guy who has no idea what he’s doing. I just slapped on some colors together with no regard to how it clashes or flows. People assume that I’ve always been stylish and always knew how to dress up, but they’re dead wrong. When I first came to college, I wore shorts and tee shirts and was a freshman who had no sense of identity and no sense of style. Eventually I realized that since I’m in college, I can be who I want to be and dress how I want to dress. It took a while, but I’m still not there yet. I’m constantly trying new things, tailoring my clothes, and I’m in this journey of self discovery with my style. However, there are a few things that I’ve learned since my freshman year that would’ve saved me so much time in being who I am.

Keeping It Sartorial In Summer

Posted on June 8, 2015 by Ethan

It’s pretty much summer time here in SoCal! And for most guys, that means resorting to a simple t-shirt and shorts. Now there’s nothing wrong with that, but this weather doesn’t mean you have to only stick with that! In this post, we’re gonna show you how to break out your blazers and suits and look cool and classy this summer! I even wear the same shoes in each outfit to show just how diverse these shoes are. Big thanks to Banana Republic for putting them on sale so I can buy them!
