Jake Woolf is a writer who has covered men’s style for over ten years and has contributed to GQ since 2014. A graduate of Parsons The New School for Design (good school, long name), he also has bylines at Robb Report, HighSnobiety, Pitchfork, and the defunct #menswear website Four Pins (R.I.P.), where he served as Managing Editor. When he’s not cooking up style content, Jake enjoys nerding out about early-aughts cars and playing golf, and remains hopeful that this is the year he finally figures out how to putt. You can also watch him talk about clothes on TikTok.
