In the last 4 months, I have lost 30lbs and 6in off of my waist, going from a tight 42 to a loose 38. My hair/beard style and care is better, and not only do I have a new wardrobe due to lose of weight, but it is of a much higher caliber of style. I have gotten many compliments from family and even my bosses at work on my improved dress habits. Many thanks to all of you in the RMRS community for the inspiration and readily available style tips. It is all greatly appreciated. Edit: I have lost 30lbs, not 3lbs.

Gents - I'm about to ruffle some feathers... Everyone talks about Fall "essentials," but here's what I've learned after years in menswear: Most guys completely waste their money on the wrong first purchase. I see men drop $300 on trendy boots they'll wear 5 times, while walking around in ill-fitting basics that kill their entire look. 🤔 So let me know your take: Your FIRST Fall upgrade should be... Vote below:⬇️⬇️⬇️ But here's the kicker: Defend your choice. Tell me why your pick beats the others - and don't give me generic answers. I want to know which piece has actually changed how you dress, not what some blog told you to buy. The guy with the best argument might just save someone else from making a $200+ mistake this season. 💪

OK, so by introducing yourself you are guaranteed to get to level 2 - it's really that easy and I LOVE learning more about the cool people in this group. Feel free to share where you're from, why you're here, what you do for a living, and what you like about style. Are you a watch guy, suit guy, fragrance guy, or maybe just getting started? Have fun here!
