Day Off: I keep it pretty simple: walking my dog in the park, going out to a nice dinner, and having some cocktails.
Gift Suggestion: A nice pair of denim. It lasts so long, and it tells a story as you break it in more.
Style Advice: I always preach fit, quality, and comfort. The thing that guys get mixed up on is dressing for comfort versus looking nice—I think you can still look really nice and presentable. I’d recommend a nice pair of dark denim jeans, a cashmere sweater, and a blue Oxford shirt.
