Prescriptive Advice?

As with most paths in life, there's more than one way to get to your desired result.

I have a goal of not trying to tell a guy exactly how to dress.

My entire approach is created with flexibility in mind.

The idea is to let you arrive with a nice wardrobe at your speed and in a way that works for you.

We’re all quite different in various and amazing ways.

Yet, we all want that one singular answer to our problems, when our problems aren’t completely similar.

It’s why I try to stay away from "one size fits all" advice.

It does a disservice to you because it attempts to remove critical thinking.

I like to think about how this might apply to your unique circumstances, or, more importantly, how would this not apply?

The way I dress won’t work for everyone, but it works for me.

I struggle sometimes with advice, especially on the internet about how to dress.

I can see how prescriptive advice would be helpful (ordering specific steps to follow), but it never feels quite right to me.

Some advice is just so strict and it can make you feel bad when you can’t make it fit.

Step by step advice works for fixing a car engine, but not for wardrobe building.

Instead, I prefer more descriptive things that lay out what the problem is and give a framework to solve it instead of a "follow along" instructional guide.

If life was as simple as following some prescriptive advice from a guru it’d be much easier to solve all our issues and problems.

But it’s not.

So let's stop feeling bad about simple solutions not fixing our unique challenges.

I'm here to help, to guide and to ride with you as a collaborator.

Let's do you.
