About this listen

 What if your clothes weren’t just about looking good — but about being seen? In this episode, Ted and Patrick dive deep into the intersection of fashion, masculinity, and identity. Why do so many men keep it muted, minimal, and safe — and why does anything beyond that feel off-limits? They explore: The fear of standing out vs. the desire to be respected The myth of “I’ll dress better once I’m in shape” How minimalism became the emotional safe zone for men Why style is still seen as feminine unless you’re famous or jacked And how dressing well can change your self-image — even if you’re a dad with no time Also: watches, knits, trainers, and why you don’t need to be stylish to start caring about style. This isn’t about trends. It’s about ownership. Of your look, your energy, and your right to feel good in your skin.
