Hey Reader,

"Life doesn't happen to you, it happens for you.”

After a longer-than-expected hiatus, I'm thrilled to be back with another edition of The Men's Style Dispatch, delivering your weekly dose of fashion insights to keep you sharp and stylish.

Expect not only fashion content but also valuable relationship and self-development advice.

From now on, you can count on hearing from me regularly, every Saturday, right in your inbox.

So without further ado, let's dive in, but first...

A personal update: (skip ahead for the content)

After recovering from a knee injury during the Ho Chi Minh City half-marathon in January, I'm back stronger than ever, achieving a PR (personal record) in the 10k last weekend in the coastal city of Da Nang by 8 minutes. So far I've logged nearly 200 kilometers (125 miles) in March. I aim to maintain this consistency moving forward.

Currently, I'm gearing up for another half-marathon on June 1st in the mountainous region of Da Lat, Vietnam. In the meantime, I've been tackling 5k, 10k, and 15k races for preparation as I continue ramping up, with a potential full marathon later this year. We shall see!

On the travel front, I'm excited about my upcoming ski trip to Hokkaido, Japan. Despite a hiccup with a lost passport and visa when I returned to Vietnam from the US in January, I now have a new passport, so hopefully it's smooth travels ahead 🀞.

P.S. You might begin seeing ads in these emails which I'm beginning to test. With some light advertising, I’m better able to cover the costs associated with running this newsletter. This means I can keep sharing high-quality content to you free of charge. If you have any feedback or concerns, I'm all ears.
