The Style Dispatch

Hey Reader, “Don’t postpone joy until you have learned all of your lessons. Joy is your lesson.” –Alan Cohen There's something wonderfully paradoxical about a well-worn denim jacket or the perfect pair of dark wash jeans. They're simultaneously a symbol of rugged individualism and an Americana style staple. In a world of fleeting trends and fast fashion, these are the pieces that tell our stories, that become more uniquely ours with every wear. Perhaps that's why denim has always felt like a...

Hey Reader, “If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes.” –Andrew Carnegie In a world that so often tells men to project an unwavering, almost stoic facade, the transformative power of style is often overlooked. We tend to think of fashion as mere ornamentation – a language of labels and trends that has little bearing on our core selves. But the truth is, how we present ourselves to the world has a profound impact on how we...

Hey Reader, "We are free to change the world and to start something new in it." –Hannah Arendt In times when it feels like a nation is defined by its divisions, I'm reminded of something powerful about personal style: it transcends boundaries. While maps may be colored in stark reds and blues, the art of dressing well knows no political lines. Style, at its core, is about expressing our individual stories while finding common ground in the universal language of craftsmanship, creativity, and...

Hey Reader, “Don’t be intimidated by what you don’t know. That can be your greatest strength and ensure that you do things differently from everyone else.” –Sara Blakely This is The Style Dispatch, your weekly read that pairs perfectly with a warm PSL. Happy fall, y’all! But even though the calendar says fall, you may still be holding onto thoughts of summer in the sun. And so – while it’s still September – I’m going to continue with warm weather themes for those who aren't quite ready to let...

Hey Reader, “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” –Mahatma Gandhi Fall is right around the corner, which means pumpkin spice lattes, football, and most exciting of all, fashionable fall style — which I'll be highlighting much more of in upcoming newsletters. Soon, I'll be off to Bali for a month for some sun, surf, a little bit of fun and plenty of work. If you've ever been, I'd love to hear about your experience or if you have any recommendations!...

Hey Reader, “We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.” –Charles R. Swindoll This is Gent Within Style Dispatch, the newsletter that’s the Pippen to your Jordan — always there with the assist! Is it already the last unofficial week of summer in the US? Crazy. There are the people who will tell you that summer's over. You don’t have to believe them. You don’t have to be one of them. I'm going to savor all of September and make the...

Hey Reader, “The smallest deed is better than the greatest intention." —John Burroughs Welcome to The Gent Within Style Dispatch, delivering you fashion & life tips faster than your last DoorDash. I hope your summer has been great. I was lucky enough to spend the past 2 months back home in the USA catching up with family and friends. Watched a ton of Olympics and kept pretty active, even discovering the joys of trail running. I'm currently training for my first Full Marathon in January. Now...

Hey Reader, “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.” —Anaïs Nin This is The Men's Style Dispatch Vol. 63: coming in fast just like last week's solar eclipse that passed over much of the US. 🌒 I'm sure it was quite the spectacle for those in the path of totality. As for me, I'm half way round the world and completely missed out. Fingers crossed for 2044. 😅 You're here for fresh style content, so let's get started. Quick personal update: (skip ahead for the content) Earlier...
