Men's Style
Yo, my slick & sagacious sartorial sorcerers! Y'all geniuses been conjurin' up world-bendin' digital alchemy, but sometimes that "Techbro" aura you're emanatin' can harsh the vibe, feel me?

But fear not, 'cause we're gonna transmute that lead into fashion gold, baby. First up, banish those athleisure rags back to the astral plane. Ain't nothing wrong with comfort, but you gotta elevate, you know? Swap 'em for some tailored trousers & crispy shirts, maybe some premium denim - threads that drape your mortal form with POWER.

Lose Dem Sneakers
Sneakers? Catnip for novices, fine for basic tasks but lacking planetary might.
Tech bros, gather your too-clean Nikes and transmute 'em into boat shoes, boots, or even some dope clogs n' mules, and feel the shift in your mystique. Loafers shoes are an easy enchantment to employ, while boots bring a lighting-tipped power to your look.
Pick top-tier footwear talismans, 'cause they're the bedrock of your whole ensemble.

Say No to Athleisurewear Pants
The necromancers of comfort have bewildered the tech-bro plebes with arcane promises of pants that fit to form. However, embracing this dark magic comes with a price, and the athleisurewear pant, betrayed by both form and fabric, has enslaved many a tech-bro in a matrix of wackness. Here are some antidotes to what ails thee.

Formally Casual
Lastly, leave your tech-bro style firmly in the dust with this formal/casual hack, losing the puffy vest and entering a plane of sartorial sleight of hand that'll push your powers to illustrious heights. A casual blazer situation can alchemize your look, even when paired with the humble jean or chino.
Just remember, as you quest for this new & improved style, don't lose sight of your own inner enchantment. Your threads should be a mirror for your very soul, a glamour that's uniquely YOURS.

Inox Loose Blazer - Slate
A loose fit blazer from Album di Famiglia in a new fabric: a stretchy, light to mid-weight cotton/virgin wool blend that looks like a dark gray denim but is much more flexible. We love the contrast stitching around the buttons and the pinstripe lining in the body. Other details include drop shoulders, two front flap pockets, and a back vent. Regular fit, runs slimmer than other ADF blazers - we recommend sizing up for bigger busts/shoulders or if you prefer a more relaxed fit. Made in Italy
