about the author

Style isnt expensive.

I started Primer because I was so
frustrated by mens magazines touting
ridiculously priced designer brands
and passing them off like normal guys
have to buy them if they want to dress
well. Im sure that $600 shirt is nice,
but Im never going to buy one, even if I
had that kind of money.
I always felt like magazine editors
were lazy anyone can put together a
stylish look with access to the worlds
top designers and when money isnt
a factor. Building great looking outfits
from everyday stores while on a budget
can be a frustrating task.
Thats why I put together these 23
looks. My hope is they can inspire you
to build and expand your personal style
with most items costing less than $60.
