Welcome to the Contemporary Gentleman

Hello friends. Welcome the Contemporary Gentleman, a blog dedicated to men's lifestyle, and a resource for those looking to get the most of their wardrobe, and ultimately, themselves. I've been following the very talented Dan Trepanier, of TSBmen for a few years now, and have experienced a great transformation from the dull, and unoriginal men's fashion standards I once adhered to. I've begun assembling my own variations on his creations, as well as formulated my own get-ups.

Every week or so you can expect a new addition to TCG, outlining an outfit for one occasion or another. I am most interested in the workweek apparel, primarily because that is the time when shake the most hands, and am challenged to look my finest. I also have a number of casual pieces which I am interested in mixing and matching, and once TCG gains a little momentum, you can expect to see outfits appropriate for all occasions the young gentlemen might encounter.

For those who do not know me prior to reading my blog, I am a 25 year old marketer, living in Northern Virginia, on the outskirts of the Washington DC. From about 14 to 20, I skateboarded and naturally, wore the shabby styles associated with them. When I got to San Diego State, and joined Sigma Pi (Alpha Omega, Fall 2007), I realized that my backwards hat was not a statement of luxury and taste. Since, I've been interested in all types of men's style, which is emboldened by the fact that I do graphic design and regularly study shape, color and texture.

I enjoy cocktailing, snowboarding, graphic design, marketing, the city, and of course, men's style.
So grab a manhattan or a neat whiskey, and let's start flossin'.
