The smartest wardrobe move is not buying more clothes - it's building a style that changes how you carry yourself. William Wehrs returnsto share how he went from wearing all black in college to becoming the kind of man who can travel for weeks with just two suits, a sports coat, and eight different outfits. What starts as a conversation about menswear quickly becomes a deeper look at confidence, discipline, and identity. William breaks down how shows like Mad Men and The Night Manager, affordable finds like a $90 suit, and style education from places like Real Men Real Style and Gentleman’s Gazette reshaped the way he presents himself.

William shares how his summer travel included a Chicago History Museum workshop on using Library of Congress documents, visits to museums and historic sites, and time spent thinking about how to turn history into an active experience for students. As a teacher preparing to take on AP European History, he explains why he wants students to interrogate material instead of memorizing it, and why history should be something you live with, not just study for a test.
