What’s everyone’s opinion on subscription boxes (for men)? I’ve never really had style, so I was hoping doing a 3-4 month subscription would help jump start it for me.

I got the GQ Best Stuff Box for a while but cancelled it recently since it’s mostly been just creams/toiletries and repeats of things I’ve already gotten. I’ve heard trunk club is good if you want to build a wardrobe but some of the stuff is pricey.

Skip. Check some magazines/ Instagram accounts and buy stuff on your own.

Agreed. I curate my partner’s wardrobe.

Hubby does trunk club and it’s really elevated his style.

If you really don’t have an eye for fashion and what looks good on you, it’s a great way to learn and have outfits. I have found it is not original enough and plays into fashion tropes. I also prefer to try on fits in stores because that it waaaay more important than the actual clothing.

I would recommend:
1. Ask the women in your life - friends, sisters, gf to help pick things out if they are stylish
2. Use Pinterest to get some inspiration for different situations (work, casual, etc.) and use that to search online for staple, neutral pieces Ex: long tan wool jacket, oversized jean jacket, black jeans, blue jeans, jogger pants, nice long sleeve/short sleeve t-shirts, olive bomber jacket, nice watch, nice belts, etc etc
3. Look for articles on building a starter closet for men

I recently left solo work to an in-house role where I am the only poc my team. I honestly feel my team has never had a poc on the team coupled with the fact that I’m much younger. 08 grad.I’m still learning ropes I can’t help but get this sense that they feel I’m not qualified but was only hired as a “diversity hire”. I feel so out of place. They’re nice folks but the comments makes me so uncomfortable as if they’re working with a first year who doesn’t know a lot. Tell me it gets better please!

Why firm is “begging” for employees? I mean firm is now paying more and adding more benefits to show what can employee get and try to keep or attract them. Aren't they know that in a romantic relationship, the more you say “please don't leave me, I will do anything for you ”, the easier the other party to control you? and you will not get respect? I'm an employee wants more, just a question to discuss about the firm's strategy.
