The Essential Man
With over 20 years in the fashion industry and a background from Parsons School of Design, Peter Nguyen is Four Hundred’s go-to stylist when it comes to men's fashion. After working with celebrity clients like Ryan Gosling, Drake, and Kevin Hart and successfully running his own brand, Peter noticed an underrepresented gap in the market; the everyday man.
After years in the fashion industry and a stint as a stylist for high-end clients in the tech world, Peter’s focus now is to “demystify real style for regular guys,” and he has a few key philosophies that make it possible:
“Everyone can look good”
“You dont need a lot of clothes to do it”
“You don’t need to buy all designer clothes”
“Great style is simple.”
“It’s ok to want to look good”

For men based in New York City or Austin, Texas, the first step is simple: set up a 1-on-1 with Peter to assess your styling goals. From there, Peter will tailor his services to suit your needs, whether that be a closet audit, full wardrobe makeover, customized shopping lists, grooming breakdown or private shopping. For those based ourside of these two cities, he offers online courses and virtual personal styling sessions, both of which are designed to equip you with the tools needed to transform your wardrobe.
