If chinos, knitwear, polos, shirts, denim and what-have-yous are the building blocks for any modern man’s attire, a skilled guide would be very useful helping you in your everyday constructing ritual. So based on an extensive deep dive into the world of men’s Essentials, we created a guide to help you get dressed for the occasion.

We observed, interviewed and went shopping with many different men in various age groups and talked about everything from their personality, approach to fashion, shopping journey, style, heritage, favorite brands and triggers that make them actually buy clothes, both offline and online.  

We decided to take a different approach from the happy smiley lifestyle photography our audience was bombarded with and instead, focused on communicating iconic shots of the hero products. Accompanied by intriguing headlines, challenging assumptions and sometimes even calling out the competition. 

The online journey guided users in the wild world of men’s essentials, serving up all you need to explore when it comes to clothing and class. Sharing secrets and stories behind every favorite garment in your wardrobe – and in our collection of “basically the most essential men’s essentials”.

“Coming from large retailers, we thought that we knew exactly who we were talking to and how to launch a new brand. Instead The Young challenged us and we learned so much about our industry, about men and about ourselves – and had a lot of fun in doing so!”
