Jacob Holton is a fashion influencer and blogger hailing from the Midwest with a style heavily influenced by his blue collar upbringing. Known for his down-to-earth, masculine flair that incorporates flannel and classic pieces over fleeting trends, Jacob has made a name for himself in the fashion world through his blog, Strong Stylish Type, and his popular Instagram account, dogslovetrucks, where he has garnered over 20,000 followers.
From a young age, Jacob's father instilled in him the value of hard work, paying him $3 an hour to clean up dog excrement around their family's lot. Growing up in rural Michigan, Jacob was surrounded by a community where a strong work ethic was the norm. It's no surprise then that he has carried this ethos into his adult life, working as an emergency medicine physician while also pursuing his passion for fashion.
It was during his time as a physician that Jacob found solace in style, using it as a form of self-expression and a way to escape the stresses of his demanding job. His love for fashion grew, and he eventually decided to share his unique perspective on menswear through his blog and social media platforms.
Despite his success in the fashion world, Jacob remains grounded in his Midwest roots, using his platform to showcase that style and substance can coexist. His love for classic pieces and timeless looks reflects his belief that true style goes beyond fleeting trends, echoing the sentiments of his style icons Frank Sinatra, Justin Timberlake, and Harvey Specter from the hit TV show Suits, portrayed by Gabriel Macht.
Now, as Jacob continues to make waves in the fashion industry, he stays true to himself and his blue collar upbringing, proving that style knows no boundaries.
