When I met my husband Kevin, I instantly fell in love with his work ethic and his outlook on life. He was undeniably charming and had a way of making me laugh when I least expected it.
One thing I didn’t quite love at first, though, was his sense of fashion. On our very first date, we spent hours talking over Old Fashioneds, getting to know each other so deeply that we didn’t even notice the time. Our reservation was at 7 PM, and we stayed until the restaurant staff told us they were closing—at 1 AM. Needless to say, we hit it off.
What stood out to me that evening—besides his charm—was his outfit. I’m not really a “shorts at dinner” kind of person. I was always raised to believe that pants were more appropriate for an evening meal, especially on a first date. Kevin, however, had his own rules.
Now, as we celebrate seven years together, I can say that while some things haven’t changed, there are a few areas where we’ve influenced each other—style being one of them. I’d like to think I’ve helped him refine his fashion sense, just as he’s helped shape me in so many beautiful ways.
His look now is still very much him—just curated with a touch of us.
This week, we celebrate my husband’s unique style and evolution with The Husband Edit.
Love, Andrew
