My Style Journey Reflection

It’s amazing how much something as small as an online community can change someone so much. I joined this community on June 4th and since then I have been on such a style journey. When I joined, I wore jeans and a t-shirt most day when not at work and would and jeans and a fishing shirt to work. My journey began when I joined this community.

It started with simply wearing a button-down shirt and chinos to work and then a little later, a blazer. Next thing I knew, I was purchasing a more fashionable watch and spending the money to fix the bracelet watch that I bought on my honeymoon. After that it was collar stays and wearing a suit and tie more often. Then I found myself joining a gym and working on both my fitness and losing weight. I started learning about how to wear a pocket square and the difference between a pocket square and a handkerchief (which I use both now) and learning how to tie a bow tie. I got a smart ring to not only keep track of my fitness but as a physical reminder that I am working to be a better version of myself.

I recently bought a safety razor and learned how to use it. I have been using it for about a week and I am already liking it so much more than a cartridge razor. The safety razor make shaving much more intentional and less of just something that a man must do. I have started caring about my appearance and it has given me more confidence in my day-to-day life. I even ordered a refill for my nice parker pen since that is something a gentleman should always have with him and makes a statement with the quality of it.

Thank you

@Antonio Centeno

for creating this RMRS and I’m very thankful that I found my way to it. I can’t wait to find out where this journey takes me next.
