97 | Why Most Men Dress Wrong in the TRopics with Nicholas Whittle

Check This Out on Youtube Nicholas Whittle built his career in boardrooms, not jungles. A graduate of Columbia Business School and a corporate advisor in Jakarta,   he's spent 30 years navigating the fast-changing world of clean energy. But one of his biggest adjustments wasn’t professional—it was personal. Raised in the cool, cloudy climate of Britain,   Nick embodied classic menswear: structured tailoring, layers, wool. That all had to change in Southeast Asia’s tropical heat. He traded heavy jackets for breathable linens, Oxford shoes for something more practical. Still, his signature style remained—just adapted. His wardrobe now bridges two worlds:   timeless British elegance, with the lightness and ease that life near the equator demands. Style doesn’t disappear in the heat. It evolves. In this episode, you’ll learn: *The essential wardrobe changes and fabric choices needed for classic menswear in the tropics.  *How to source high-quality, climate-appropriate clothing and footwear in Indonesia and similar regions.  *The benefits and cultural importance of indigenous dress such as the Indonesian batik shirt, and how to wear it with confidence. 👔 GET MY FREE GUIDE TO HELP YOU DRESS BETTER: https://www.nyfashiongeek.com/10things 00:00 Welcome to the Fashion Geek Podcast 01:24 Introduction to Nicholas Whittle 03:33 Challenges of Classic Menswear in the Tropics 05:42 Nicholas Whittle's Background and Experience 09:06 Adapting to the Tropical Climate 16:42 Tailoring and Ready-to-Wear Options in Jakarta 25:38 Thrifting and Building a Quality Wardrobe 28:48 Footwear Challenges in Jakarta 31:20 Introduction to Justin Fitzpatrick 31:47 Discovering Niche Shoe Brands 36:02 Transitioning to Indonesian Fashion 37:09 Exploring Global Traditional Attire 38:45 The Art of Batik Clothing 54:23 Fashion Tips and Lightning Round 01:00:10 Conclusion and Final Thoughts CONNECT WITH REG 🌐https://www.nyfashiongeek.com/ 📸https://www.instagram.com/newyorkfashiongeek/?hl=en 💼 https://www.linkedin.com/in/reginald-ferguson?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2F 🎵 https://www.tiktok.com/@newyorkfashiongeek 💜Leave a review on Apple Podcasts 💚Leave a review on Spotify
