Well, here we go!! The start of our Infinity Bar Style Features — featuring some of your favorite fashion influencers on Instagram and around the web!

Introducing, Matt Hartman! We reached out to Matt a few weeks ago to help jump-start our Infinity Bar Style Feature Series. One of the things that stuck out to us about Matt and his IG page is that on top of the “chest posts” he publishes of his outfits, he also posts grid pictures that are just as crisp as the others. We appreciate the cleanliness in which he dresses and the IG he maintains. If you’d like to follow Matt, here’s a link to his Instagram page: @runnineverlong and you can also click the image above … Anyway — let’s jump into the Q&A…

Q1: TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF…

A1: Born and raised in the Midwest in the US. Am relatively new to the fashion world (2–3 years). I’m in the IT and business professional world working for the Fortune 1 (i.e. the best!) company.

Q2: WHAT DREW YOU TO FASHION / WHEN DID YOU REALLY START TO GET INTO FASHION?

A2: My Boss/job. I had a performance review and my boss told me I needed to dress nicer than collared shirts and khaki’s. I did not own a suit and I had about 3–4 ties so I went to social media to find inspiration. From there I identified what styles I liked. Once I did that I decided to pay it forward. The rest is history.

Q3: DESCRIBE ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE OUTFIT COMBINATIONS YOU LOVE TO WEAR.

A3: I’ve done so many combinations I probably couldn’t name one that sticks out as my favorite. However if we are talking recent combinations. Here are two examples:

Q4: WHAT’S ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE ACCESSORY PIECES TO WEAR? / WHY?

A4: Depends on the day and my mood. I don’t think there is one piece I must have these days. I’m very flexible.

Q5: WHAT MAKES YOUR STYLE UNIQUE?

A5: I’m not afraid of color and go more towards ‘smart casual’ styles.

Q6: WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON FASHION FOR THE SUMMER — WHAT’S A TREND YOU THINK WE’RE GOING TO SEE?

A6: Breatheable fabrics are a must…especially if you live in warmer climates. So seersucker and linen. Minimalism is taking over the fashion world right now. I expect that to continue.

Q7: WHAT ARE A FEW OF YOUR FAVORITE STYLE COMBOS & THE REASON WHY YOU CHOSE THEM

There is nothing like an excellent knit tie and this tie is marvelous in this look.

The use of color and perfect coordination with the pocket square

Nice color coordination. Very clean. Shoes are great.

Q8: LASTLY, WHAT’S ONE PIECE OF INFORMATION YOU’D LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU?

A8: I am a cancer survivor
