My style: I love to wear a suit with my signature pocket square.
Favorite season: I like fall because it allows me to get creative, layer up, and I don’t have to worry about getting snow/salt on the bottom of my pant legs yet.
Must-haves: A pair of high-top dress shoes. I also always enjoy a light scarf.
Not in my closet: I am having a difficult time getting used to the men’s skinny jean.Fashion lesson: My mom always encourages me to embrace who I am and enjoy expressing it through fashion. Fashion is less about picking the perfect pieces and more about enjoying the process of choosing an outfit and an attitude for that day.
Latest purchase: I bought some Toms (shoes) to wear to a weekend-long music festival, and despite being heckled by friends, I love them.
Fashion lesson: “Don’t look like you’re trying too hard.” That’s advice from personal stylist Conor Patrick O’Malley, the most dapper guy I know.
Shopping in CLE: Brigade in Beachwood Place for casual clothes.
