Shownotes Transcript

Derek Guy – known online as “the menswear guy” – runs the popular social media account “Dieworkwear.” Guy’s recent piece for Bloomberg Businessweek looks at what he calls a new wave of hypercurated masculinity appropriated by MAGA influencers that’s “a backlash against a cultural landscape shaped by gender fluidity and body positivity.” We talk to Guy about how men’s fashion can tell a different story and why it’s so challenging for men to figure out how to dress.

Guests:

**Derek Guy, **menswear writer, creator of the blog "Dieworkwear" - editor for the website Put This On
