LESSON 2 · Style Rules for Men

Quality Over Quantity

The number that matters isn't the price tag — it's cost per wear. A blazer that costs more but goes on fifty times a year is cheaper, per outing, than a bargain piece you wear twice.

A crowded closet hides this math. The pieces you never touch crowd out the ones that work, and you still feel like you have nothing to wear. Thin the herd: keep what earns its space, and put the money you save into fewer, better basics.
