Something is happening in American style, and it is happening right now, all around us. In cities and suburbs, the places we live and work, a transformation in how everyone not just men, though especially men thinks about personal style is both beginning and in full flight. We give a damn about how we look, for starters, in a way that most of us haven't given a damn in years. We're dressing a little more creatively, a little more unexpectedly, a little more confidently. We're mixing the formal and the informal, the high and the low, the traditional and the technical in new ways. We're embracing technology that lets us customize everything from the width of our jacket lapels to the color of our shoelaces. (That's right: We care about the width of our lapels and the color of our laces.) We're discovering a new generation of designers, the most promising and prolific since the early days of Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein, who are giving us a bold vision of masculine style for the twenty-first century. And we're realizing, here, today, now, that to dress well means to dress like an individual, not like a character on TV or even a mannequin in a store. Here, we present the agents and engines driving this style revolution, and we encourage you to find inspirations, steal ideas, and make them your own. Because something is happening in American style, right now and all around us, and you should be a part of it.
