Manly Man Monday- Wesley F.
Another Monday, another Manly Man to talk to about clothes! Today, we are talking to Wesley F. I always appreciate what he has to say about all things social media, so I was super excited to talk to him about what he wears….

Q-Who buys your clothes?
A- I buy my own clothes. My wife does get some clothes for me, and a lot are free giveaways from conferences like SXSW. (Editor’s note: I have given my boyfriend a couple of shirts from PubCon and he loves them.)
Q- Where do you buy most of your clothes?
A- For casual stuff, I go to Old Navy a lot. For a little dressier, Express Men.
Q- Do you have a physical attribute that you are self-conscious about?
A- Nope, no bodily hang-ups. I just like it to fit. (Editor’s note: Lucky man!!)
Q- What are the most important things you look for in your clothes?
A- Comfort, durability, and price. (Editor’s note: Finally, someone that checks the price tag! I like shopping, but I LOVE a bargain.)
Q- What is the first thing you check when you try on clothes?
A- With shirts, I check the stitching at the shoulders and that the length is past my waist. With pants, I look at where it hits my shoes, and how it feels at the waist.
Q- Do you wear accessories? If so, what do you wear?
A- I wear a watch, a SuperHero Foundation bracelet, a silver chain, a wedding ring and a belt- I have one black, one reversible dress belt and one black dress belt. (Editor’s note: Check out the link to learn about an amazing foundation!)
Q-Let’s talk shoes. How many do you have? What colors/styles do you prefer?
A- I am all about comfort and then style. I found that brown goes with pretty much anything. My daily wear shoes are two-toned.
Q- Do you pay attention to trends?
A- I do notice them, but I don’t add them to my wardrobe. I usually notice then mock them. (Editor’s note: I totally appreciate that he spoke the truth.)
Q- How do you like your pants to fit? What color/ wash do you like for your jeans? Do you like/ wear skinny jeans?
A- I prefer loose or bootcut jeans, and I don’t like them faded or stonewashed. I absolutely hate skinny jeans. I would only wear them for money, like maybe $1000 a day. (Editor’s note: Seriously, he gave a number. Do we have any takers for a Skinny Jeans for Wesley sponsorship?)
Q- Describe your style.
A- Simple, timeless, casual. (Editor’s note: I couldn’t have said it better myself!)
Q- What is your favorite article of clothing?
A- A tight contoured black shirt. It’s good for wearing underneath my shirts- it’s comfortable and pretty warm. When it gets chilly out, I can still wear my t-shirts.
Analysis: Wesley is man that doesn’t mince words, and is a totally straight shooter. That translates into his wardrobe and his answers- his look is straight forward and a great representation of the sweet, stand up guy he is.
Next week, the adorable Tommy L……
