The Urban Grit Gentleman - Albert

Published on June 4, 2025

Albert Imperato, also known as Upstate Guy Style, embodies a seamless blend of heritage wear, storytelling, and unapologetic individuality. Based in New York City, Albert is a seasoned classical music promoter who escapes the hustle of Manhattan for peaceful weekends in the Hudson Valley. There, he embraces his passion for rugged denim, vintage-inspired boots, and clothing with rich histories.

When he’s not sharing impeccably styled looks on his Instagram, Albert is hosting thought-provoking discussions on his podcast, Vir Vulnerabilis Vir, which explores vulnerability, masculinity, and creativity. With a relaxed, insightful perspective, Albert proves that style isn’t just about what you wear—but the stories you tell along the way.
