    Any advice on incorporating some formalwear and historical fashion into my wardrobe?

    I've been into historical menswear and formal menswear for a while, but I haven't exactly had lots of time to work on that side of my style. I've been somewhat avoidant of it because it's just somewhat impractical for me (I'm an 18 year old in my last year of high school) and also the stigma of...
