about

Hi, I’m Sebastian. As I approach 40, I want to share a journey that’s close to my heart. I’m happily married with two amazing daughters, and I consider myself a family man first. But there’s more to my story that I believe can inspire others.

Professionally, I’ve been a successful project manager for over ten years across various industries. But without fashion, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

Growing up, I was a shy, chubby kid who preferred video games over social interactions. Public speaking terrified me, and this lack of confidence persisted through school and university. Even during group presentations, my anxiety made it difficult for me to communicate effectively.

After university, I started my career in the automotive industry and met a slightly older colleague who typically dressed casually. One day, amidst a project crisis, he came to work in a navy suit, white shirt, and tie. He explained that to be taken seriously by upper management, he needed to look the part, not just be competent.

I soon found myself exploring men’s fashion websites like The Art of Manliness, Dappered, and He Spoke Style. Learning how to dress well and tailor off-the-rack clothes boosted my confidence even further, improving both my personal and professional life.

I hope you enjoy browsing this site, looking at my stories and pictures for inspiration. In today’s world, it’s not just about being good at what you do; it’s also about how others perceive you. Boost your persona and tell your story through your style. Don’t chase success — attract it.
