Questions, answered
How do I find my personal style as a man?
Look at the clothes you wear most and feel best in, the places you spend your week, and the colours you return to. A short quiz like this one turns those answers into a style profile and a list of pieces to build on.
What are the main styles for men?
Here we use six: The Quiet Classic, The Coastal, The Earthbound, The Monsoon Minimal, The Pattern Reader and The Sharp Professional. They cover most of how men dress day to day.
Can I have more than one style?
Yes. Most men are mainly one profile with a touch of another, for example a Quiet Classic on weekdays and a Coastal at weekends. Build around the main one first.
How many shirts does a basic wardrobe need?
Five to seven is a good start: two white, one light blue, one dark, and two or three in the colours or patterns of your style profile.
