The Essential Man is where modern men learn how dress well and live a stylish life.

I’m Peter. I’m Private Personal Stylist for men here in NYC. I’m also the writer behind The Essential Man.

Since 2015, I’ve helped 100k+ of men transform their style through my blog, newsletter, guides, and private styling service. And in turn, transform their lives.

How?

It can be summed up in our motto:

In your confidence. In your career. In your love life. (*See what my styling clients and readers have said about us!)
