In 2016, I decided to take my blog to another level by providing more insightful tips on men’s style, fashion, and lifestyle. It’s not like I wasn’t already doing that, but I wanted to be more intentional about it so that you as the reader could really learn some useful information.
In my opinion, writing from this perspective has really helped me provide more meaningful content instead of the typical outfit inspiration posts. Therefore, I plan on continuing to write (and film) more editorial content so that you all can hopefully put some of it into practice.
So without further ado, here are some of my favorite blog posts of 2016!
