This show is brought to you by M.M. LaFlure, which is a women's clothing brand that has a pretty

0:07.1

unique way of approaching work style. They're saying as they want to take the work out of dressing

0:13.5

for work. And what they do is offer incredibly stylish and classic and simple clothes picked out

0:22.5

for you by a personal stylist. They call it a bento box. You answer a few questions online.

0:28.0

Then the personal stylist does an analysis of your style and picks something out. I want to say

0:33.7

since I left Washington, I got rid of almost all of my blazers, almost all of my high heels.

0:41.5

Most of every single suit that I own, except one, I've one suit. I don't have very much in the way

0:47.2

of work work clothes, which I am occasionally called upon to dress like a normal human. I actually

0:53.4

have used M.M. LaFlure because it is ideal for the kind of situation that you find yourself

1:00.4

in that you have to travel and you have to do a bunch of things in one day. And you want to have

1:05.6

1:17.9

it seems like that's pretty true about the shoes. It's like you guys get really a bum deal on

1:24.8

the shoe situation, which I don't know how you stand for it. But you do get more variation

1:32.2

in clothes and especially during the seasons. When I was in DC, men have to wear men on the hill

1:39.4

wear suits every day. And they do that spring, winter, fall, summer. You'll see a seersucker

1:44.5

or something or a tan suit. But it's still a suit. And I've often thought, man, you can wear

1:49.8

comfortable things if you wear traditionally women's clothes during the summer. And I often

1:56.4

thought that it feels like such a big choice to do that if you're a guy, but it's unfair.

2:01.3

That's almost it. It is. What really is great about M.M. LaFlure is that it is a kind of uniform

2:07.2

like a suit. It can be super stylish, but it's also you don't have to think too hard about it.
