Savage Style



There comes a time in every guy's life when he has to put away boyish things and become a man. And when that day comes, said boy-man should seek the sartorial know-how of one Will Boehlke, CEO of Dynamic Endeavors and the mastermind behind the fashion blog, A Suitable Wardrobe.

Primarily focused on menswear, Boehlke gives a comprehensive look at not only the building blocks to a man's wardrobe but chronicles his own affinity for bespoke suits, custom-crafted footwear and dandy accouterments such as pocket squares, leisure sport coats, ascots and trimmings that most men have forgotten - or never knew existed.

As seen on the site, Boehlke doesn't just talk the talk. Many posts are based on his own wardrobe, using himself as a canvas for the detailing he encourages men to pay attention to. Since most of his clothing is tailor made, there aren't many labels to speak of, but that may make the looks that much more accessible, provided you have a trusted tailor.
