At Havenly, we’re a team of mostly (okay…entirely) females. So we naturally gravitate toward the female blogging voice and shopping suggestions. But what about the guys out there? The brothers and husbands who really don’t want a coffee mug that reads “Get It, Girl!” We’ve called upon one of our favorite men about town to help us out. Meet student, tastemaker, and gentleman extraordinaire, Dean of Proper Kid Problems…
Dean who? He’ll never tell. We’re lucky Town & Country even got him to reveal his face and first name! Donning a suit and tie (voluntarily) to kindergarten and hosting dinner parties in junior high, this proper kid always knew he was something of an anomaly. After launching the Proper Kids Website back in 2012, he was blown away by the demand for advice in the realm of young men’s style and decorum. With his massive following in tow, Dean partnered up with J. Bradley Tramer of J. Riley 17, introducing a line of products that synced perfectly with PKP’s already established brand identity and style.
