If this editor gig doesn’t work out, at least I know I could have a career in personal shopping for men. I love womenswear, but the opportunity to Cinderella Story a man’s wardrobe is one I’ll always volunteer for. Whether it’s my dad or ex-boyfriends (you’re welcome, ladies) who need a helping hand, I’m constantly the sounding board for all fashion purchases—and prefer it that way. Menswear patterns tend to repeat themselves—suits, slacks, Lululemon everything—so I’d like to start a movement of outfits that are more interesting this Father’s Day. Every man in your life can benefit from the following fashion items, so keep reading to shop my edit below.
