THE NEW RULES OF SUITING UP
Esquire US
|March 2024
The man in the gray flannel suit is long gone.

But even his sartorial descendants disappeared somewhere in the last fifteen years or so, along with the idea of wearing a jacket and tie to the office every day. Now is the era of wearing a suit because you want to. Because you understand the way it can transform not only your look but your entire attitude. Because of the sheer damn joy of dressing to the nines and having some fun once in a while. Even though the old ways have gone out the window, there are still a few rules to keep in mind, however. Call them guidelines, if you want. Break them, if you dare. But don't suit up without knowing them.

WHAT IT FEELS LIKE...
Some feats seem unachievable. Climbing Everest in mere days. Kayaking solo across the ocean. Scaling a skyscraper with your bare hands. Few ever face such challenges. Fewer still embrace them with wideopen arms. You're about to read their stories, in their own words-of fear, hope, failure, and triumph, but always passion. This is what it feels like to experience life at its most extraordinary.
