Quotes:
- “The perspective of how our aesthetics play into our masculinity is a major component of not only being able to signal masculinity to other people, but also to reinforce it in ourselves so that when you see yourselves in the mirror, or you see a post that you've put up on Instagram, you see someone who looks like the best version of himself. And so that's the reinforcement.” – Tanner Guzy

- “The biggest trick to style and getting it dialled in is not in fit, It's not color, and it's not the pattern, but it's context. And when you know your context and what you are, who you are, who you're building yourself into, and then what your relationship is with the world around you. That's how you can start to piece it all together. ” – Tanner Guzy
