Pink (featuring Natty Adams)
The color pink is often avoided, maligned or misinterpreted in modern men’s style. But why, and when did this become a thing? As a color, it comes in such a wide range of hues and tones it can often be deeply flattering. The Dandies are joined by Natty Adams to explore whether men should still be concerned about the preconceptions and stereotypes of pink or lean into it as a bold and expressive option of their individuality and identity … and, of course, delve in the mystery of why red foxhunters' jackets are called “Pinks”.

Charm, and other magical social skills (with Greg Delaune)
Charm is an ephemeral concept which can be a potent tool for success in life. However, it's often misunderstood and for some it’s a old-fashioned idea. So has charm, hospitality, and other good manners gone out of style? Or has it simply gone unnoticed?

The 90's are Cool!
The 90’s are cool, and not “again”. They always were. Without the weird pretensions of the 70’s or the comically over the top materialism of the 80’s, the 90’s brought the world a global perspective of street style, music, and culture. From heroin chic and Nirvana grunge to Afro-pop; reggae, K-pop, and French hip-hop to Euro-trash house and EDM, the 90’s opened up a anything-goes culture of acceptance and experimentation. From the mid-90’s, the first dot-com boom shepherded in both a relaxation of the norms for how professional men dress in a more “relaxed” office to a renewed appreciation of the value of the quality and details for traditional styling. Far from dying out, classic suiting received a reboot, paired with elements of the new, relaxed, fitted forms of the era.

Becoming An Entrepreneur
Totally enjoyed your interview with Farah Boutia of Moose Maple Butter!
The easy banter mixed with specific and helpful information about the process of observing, creating an idea and then getting it to market was brilliant.
And I agree, more and more people are looking for quality and integrity.
Now I’m inspired to look around at “everyday” things people use to see how I might develop it on a large scale and market it!
