What exactly is a suited monk?

Every day, you go out in the world wearing your suit — whether it’s a custom-designed 3-piece Armani, a workshirt and jeans, or your comfiest workout gear. Your suit isn’t so much about the clothes themselves, but the image you present to the outside world. Your suit is the version of you that everyone sees.

Your monk has nothing to do with your religion. Rather, “monk” is the term that represents the inner you. Your passions. The things that light you up and bring joy into your life. Your monk is often the version of you that no one sees — sometimes, not even you.

A suited monk is a person who has managed to brings these two discrete personalities into one whole person.
