Hey gents—
I’m happy to present The Effortless Gent’s first article featured over at Primer Magazine, titled SLIM IS IN: A Gentleman’s Approach to Wallet Management.
I enjoy reading Primer Magazine on the daily and I’m happy to be working with and writing for these guys. Hopefully I can keep up with the publishing world’s crazy schedule and have an article ready every couple weeks.
In the meantime, check out the inaugural article, leave a comment, and retweet / facebook this to all your friends!
Until next time!

Hey Gents —
A common mansumption is that there’s ONE specific style of dress for every situation. Let me give you some examples:
“I work at an investment firm (or bank, or corporate office) so I have to wear a navy (or black, or gray) suit.”
“These pants are black, so I have to wear black shoes and black socks.”
“I’m making a quick trip to Target, so it’s okay to wear flannel pajama bottoms and flip flops.”
No! No no no, and no. And one more no. Especially that one about pajama pants. Only sophomore-year college girls do that, and even then, I disapprove.
