About to be a dad and I want to improve my overall look. How would you go about revamping your closet? My shoe collection is fantastic and my watch collection is good, but I could use more casual pants, casual blazers, trendy jackets (thinking pea coats and bombers), and more flannel shirts. I’m going for a Brooklyn (Think “How To Make It In America”) kind of look. Any specific sites or brands I should be thinking about?

Hah spot on! Exactly what I was trying to avoid.

Get used to having body fluids all over your new wardrobe. Being a dad is not the best time to step up your style game.

Truth. Get comfy clothes that are also durable. Anything nice you own will get destroyed over the next couple of years.

What does becoming a dad have to do with updating your style game? Just don’t try to be to trending - like those MDs who wear suits with no socks and dress shoes. Tools.

I would go with g-star raw over shirts, j crew chinos and ferragamo driving shoes. Also, upgrade your boot game and barbour vest game. My son is four, and I just went through a style upgrade. LOL. Trunk club is good for inspiration.

Not a dad yet, but I’ve lent this advice to friends and they’ve been appreciative: the first year you’re going for easy clean-up, low maintenance, quick wardrobes because most of your time will be spent on your newborn. As your newborn grows, your wardrobe will definitely mature, especially if you and your wife enjoy styling as a family. But for the most part, plan for comfort and convenience (with slight styling notes, minimalist chic) and escalate as your child grows.

IMO, yes.

Never met him, so obviously not the love of my life, but just genuinely curious.
