My friend Baylen sent me a short but fascinating article in The Atlantic about the power of wearing a suit. The piece explores recent research about the psychological effect of “formal” clothing, both on the wearer and on those around him. In this episode of the podcast, I talk about how the article articulated and validated much of my own personal experience with a suit’s effect. When I made the decision in my late thirties to start regularly representing myself in suits (both for work and social occasions), things changed – and all for the better.
The operative word? Empowerment.

Your attitude is why we opened our store on Etsy. Style should be attainable and fun!
I am a 50-year-old attorney in Arizona. I am about to become an empty-nester, with my wife, after raising five kids. I think I have always wanted to be a bit “cool”, but never felt I quite had the resources to pull it off. I found your podcast about a week ago, and I am completely hooked. My favorite part of your podcast content is usually followed by the words, “but I digress.” In a word, you are “cool,” in a grown-up kind of way, and have given me hope that trying to have style is not adolescent, and doesn’t have to break the bank. Thank you.
Thank you so very much, Kevin!
