Bremake here and welcome to another edition of the Art of Manliness Podcast.

You've 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 kind of style?

Is it something innate or something acquired through lots of trial and error?

My guest today explores those questions in his latest book Men in Style, essays, interviews

and considerations.

His name is David Coggins.

He's written for Esquire, The Financial Times, and Traveler Magazine, among many.

And in Men in Style, here you'll review some of the biggest taste makers and men's

word of day to figure out the alchemy of the Satorial Arts.

Today on the show, Dave and I discuss how a man's father leaves a lasting impression

on his tastes and clothing.

The style mistakes, even the most dapper of grown men made as teenagers, and how the goal

of style isn't to religiously follow rules but rather to feel comfortable in your own

skin.

Even if you never thought much about how you dress, this is a fun podcast, and it's

your chance to hear about the goofy clothes that I wore in high school.

After the show's over, check out the show notes at a-wim.is slash men in style.

Coggins, welcome to the show.
