How would you describe your style?
I try to stay different from everybody else—I put my own little swag onto whatever I wear. When I put it on, if it feels good, I’m going to go with it.
Who are some favorite designers?
If I don’t have time to get a suit custom-made, I usually go with Canali. I also like Crooks & Castles and 575 Denim.
Do you have a fashion inspiration?
Probably my mom, but I never wanted to dress like somebody else. If I see somebody else with something on, I stay away from it.
What are your favorite places to shop in Washington?
Neiman Marcus in Tysons Galleria and Eric Finn Custom Clothiers in DC.
Is there a type of item you splurge on?
I don’t focus on just one thing. I’ve got so many clothes, it’s ridiculous. My closet is full of tags. I’ve got closets full of everything from dress shoes to slide-ons to tennis shoes to T-shirts to jeans to hats to dress shirts.
