THE RULE BOOK IS OFFICIALLY out the window. Men's fashion is more fluid now than ever. Sure, that means getting dressed is a little more fraught-but it's also exponentially more exciting. To provide inspiration, we went looking for men who dress confidently across the spectrum of personal style. The folks on the following pages aren't professional fit gods and Instagram kings. They're regular guys living regular lives who happen to have tastes that are strong, unique, and worthy of your consideration-and emulation. They're authentic to themselves. And that's what matters. So here's to the bold and the brave and the guys who can put together one hell of a look.
