What does it really mean to dress like a gentleman?
In this episode, Brian Lipstein dives into the deeper psychology of style, exploring how clothing is not just a form of self-expression, but a catalyst for confidence, connection, and even desire.
Inspired by a series of quotes collected over years in the menswear world, Brian unpacks the relationship between image, attraction, and performance—both professional and personal.
From the subtle art of aligning your wardrobe with your personality, to the often-overlooked power of a smile, this episode offers both reflection and real-world insight. You’ll also hear stories from the Henry A. Davidsen showroom that reveal just how transformative dressing well can be—not just for how others see you, but how you see yourself.
