I was away at college when I first started noticing the way men wore their clothing. The simplest things could make what they were wearing, better. Ironing or steaming your shirt, pressing your pants, jeans that fit, the whole nine yards. I would watch YouTube videos constantly and learn what my own individual style was and learn to appreciate and understand the strength and confidence you get in knowing those cool vibes you can put into yourself. As i moved along with school and focused on the media portions of my degrees, I realized how much I enjoyed podcasting, because I could really develop my own style with inspirations from my radio internship, and, fortunately, a lot of other people liked my sounds too.
Style Zephyr was born.
Will I have a top list of things of what to wear and what not to wear? No, that's none of my business. Will everyone wear suits everyday? No. Can I make you? Certainly not? Style Zephyr is about stories and inspiration. I don't think pictures of myself everywhere is particularly interesting. My priorities shifted to the individual human experience of your past, present, and future outlooks of what your life and world are like, and how that influences what your everyday story is to tell.
Style is more than just clothing, though. The physical manifestation of how we carry ourselves based on how we operate our minds and imagination in the world. Are you a clothing nut? Vintage guru? Car nut? Tattoo artist? Chef? So many paths of life that translate to what our individual means of how we carry ourselves through our every day. Along the way, I have some wonderful people helping me out and providing some great advice and feedback. Give us a listen, and hopefully we can make your light bulb go off to help you become the best, happiest version of you!

Why Style Zephyr?
"Style" speaks for itself, though it can still speak volumes. It's definition is considered the manner in which you do something, or the manner in which something is constructed. When applied to the idea of fashion, it could be considered to the various aspects that make up the layers of an ensemble. There's no particular set guideline to style, beyond the traditional fundamentals of color coordination, contrast, layering, shoes to belts, and sock to pants, and so on. You can be a lady that loves her leggings with a nice sweater to a summerdress or jeans to jacket. A gentleman might do your traditional suit to blazer and slacks, or a pair of slim fit jeans to custom fit t-shirt and killer high-top sneakers. Fashion and style is the one universal, non-spoken language that unites us all.
"Zephyr" has a direct meaning of a soft or gentle wind, and also has roots in Greek culture in Westerly winds. The primary inspiration comes from Kevin's little history-nut mind of the Pioneer Zephyr from the 1930's.
In the time of the Great Depression, it was imperative that every day American citizens had more affordable and efficient means of travel and a mindset of hope and progress for the country to move forward economically. In 1934, the Burlington Zephyr was born. Several factors that made this train stand out at the time included diesel-electric powered engines, a closer to the rails design, a stainless steel streamlined exterior, and also the one of the first trains to feature air conditioning.

The timeless and futuristic design of the Zephyr was the biggest inspiration for the podcast and website. Style is timeless in that it's totally in the hands of the individual to make a unique statement to the rest of the world. Are you forward thinking and looking to set a new precedent? Are you a traditionalist and conservative? Some settle for a well pressed and measured suit with hand made Oxfords. Others in a great t-shirt, torn jeans, and sneaker. Do you match a great pair of boots or pumps to your purse? Make the finishing touches with a beautiful scarf, bracelet, watch, earrings, and well fitted sunglasses.
Much like the Zephyr, all of these things come together in a beautifully thought out ensemble that makes you, you. We wouldn't have you any other way!
