Whenever I speak about what I'm wearing after I get a complement, I try to encourage men to care about their style. I explain to them what I do and how I do it (thrift stores, learning, having fun). I help them along the way if they reciprocate. I also make it a habit of mine to always learn the history of a piece of clothing before I buy it as well. Like a peakycap or leather jacket. It's a learning curve, and that's what I'm proud of.
Yes on etiquette! Yes on manners! I'm British, so the whole "gentleman" thing is fairly engrained in our culture, and I find it endlessly fascinating how so many people approach it like putting on a costume- I'm dressed as gentleman today, hypebeast tomorrow. Your actions and manners are the true measure of a sophisticated and elegant man. Merry Christmas, Antonio, and greetings from the Royal Military Academy
I am also British, but I would disagree that being a gentleman is engrained for the vast majority of the British people. Lost count how many times I have seen guys wearing T Shirts on dates or casual clothes to the office. It varies depending on location as to the local 'style'
@@nacholibrerm5723 , ahem! Almost 70million in fact! The middle class and upper middle class tend to dress so well in the UK. It is effortless. This is actually "engrained" at a young age. No logos or flashy and "blingy" type of clothing. The wags, footballers and rappers do not dress well. There is a class divide in how we dress in the UK...
@@AbdulKareem-uy6hk you understand that the awful football players and their dreadful wives and girlfriends are not stylish at all as an English man I think they are an embarrassment to our nation and they don’t even have the good taste to actually win at something too
Here is my "why" - Since middle school, I was bullied every day. Then, I wore soccer clothes and went into an "emo" dressing phase. One day, I noticed that the way I dressed made friends, family, and teachers view me as something I was not. From that day (12 years ago), I have dressed nice. The results have paid off more than anything else in my life. Getting jobs is easier, no negative first judgments, and promotions happen quickly. (As a sidebar, I was promoted from a job after being there less than a month, over people there more than a year, because I "looked the part" and was "well dressed enough to put in front of parents.") Now, I am in law school, have worked for a state supreme court justice, and meeting big law lawyers for possible jobs. Currently, I am getting into shoes for the first time, and get complements on my Allen Edmonds Hamilton boots when I run into meetings. My style has improved, but I am still learning.
@@sipsimies1588 "Big law lawyers"... that is the phrase I used. "big law" is a type of law firm that employs more than 200 lawyers and pays well. It is the type of firm you see on TV shows like Suits. So when someone says, "big law lawyers" they are speaking about the lawyers that work in big law firms. (this is as opposed to any other employee at a big law firm)
Antonio, After wearing a uniform from 28 to 58 yrs old, I lost interest in clothes that I use to have. Now I’m building a wardrobe and my wife and daughters love it! Thanks for all your advice.
My “why” is simple: I want to be a good example for my children. Every father wants to look at his kids and say they’re exceptional, but I know that mine can outshine me by a light year someday as long as they have a solid base; I wake up every day and go to work to build that base for them. No other reasons necessary.
My “why”: I’m tired of looking and living in the ghetto tired of working for nothing. Today I put out some resumes at 5 star/luxury business resorts and stuff and that’s all I’m applying for, high class. I got my clothes at a thrift store I’m tall n skinny so of course clothes are baggy a dress shirt two pants two blazers. Might not fit right but I’m not giving up. I’m even learning about etiquette and manners
3:02 I woke up when i was around 27, i will be 29 soon. The funny thing is Antonio you where the first guy on youtube who teached me how to look better, somehow you manage it to be in my youtube recomendation back then, since then i improved a lot thank you so much! I learned how to look good with my outfits, i get so many compliments.
@ IxamusMC. Not only do friends notice when you lift your game, strangers do too. But you will be suprised how many women will say to you when you are standing in a que at a supermarket POS Terminal ------- " I wish I could get my man to dress as well as you do", and they mean it. Phil.
I'm 42 and about to be divorced. I need to lift my game and a wardrobe update is a must. A new life is about to begin so looking the part is my 'why', and also my 'because'.
My why is because there are things I am perfect for. I may not be the best in the world at anything, but there are moments of perfect placement and timing, the epitome of “right time, right place”- and finding those moments where I can leverage my own experience to change someone’s world are going to change my own life too.
I love what you said about etiquette. My grandmother sat me at the table when I was 8, at a formal dinner setting and showed me how proper etiquette. She told me, proper etiquette is a moral obligation. To do unto others, as you would have them do unto you. Manners and respect will carry you through the world. Great advice! I like to dress well for work, even though many people dress business casual, most of my colleagues do not make an effort to dress well. It communicates that I am serious about my job. Being detail-oriented is an important function of my profession, and I like projecting that with my attire. I dress well for church. It communicates to ME, that this is important. God deserves my best. It puts me in the right frame of mind for the service. I dress up for dates with my wife. I like to plan occasions where we dress up. It affords us the opportunity to see each other at our best. It communicates to her, that she is my most important person. Why should my boss get my best, and she get less? I spend my work days with him. I am spending my LIFE with HER!
Real Men Real Style, It is Christmas. In that spirit, I would like to pass my coin on to someone else, who may really need the encouragement Truthfully, I have more than I need!
Best comment on here. Never let the Boss get the best and the wife less. Dressing well for church too, I'm going to start doing that as well. I'll give God my Best as well.
Antonio sir! My why is: I want to be the part of those people who are trying to fix some kind of misconceptions and I want to stand out without caring what my society thinks of my style if I'm confident and trying something new because I'm from Pakistan and I live in village where people have assemptions about style as everything you talk about in your videos .
This channel really helped me grow as a men. Previously I used to rock jeans even for meetings. Now I dress up like a millionaire that made my business grow. Thanks.
My why in this season of my life is to facilitate to the best of my abilities, helping my sons and my wife reach their fullest potential. If that is all I do in my life it will be a life well lived.
My "why" is finding confidence in myself. I've been a pessimist my entire life, bordering on depression most of the time until my ex cheated on me. I've spent almost a fourth of my life with her, and I realized I constantly had to put myself in the backseat for other people. I've gotta take care of myself, put myself out there and grab me some self-esteem because no one else will. I know it's petty but I feel this is the start of a great journey.
Great video Antonio. My "Why" is to be a positive role model for my daughters. To show them how a true man is supposed to act, dress, behave as well as showing respect for others. To show them that style does make a difference in how people perceive you and will show you more respect just based upon how you dress . Merry Christmas Antonio and everyone at RMRS.
My 'Why' is that I want to look the part and advance my career, which I know was hampered by my lack of style. In doing this I hope to provide a better life for my child and give them the opportunities that I never got - love the pocket square Antonio!
Hi, Antonio! I am a great fan of your channel and I have been following it closely for years. I think you are the undisputed leader in the field. You mention so many professions when you give your examples, but you never mention diplomats. I am a diplomat and I have to dress smart everyday and the same goes for Government experts who work administrative jobs and are expected to wear suits. I am sure we/they learn how to dress well mainly thanks to your channel. Me and my colleagues often discuss your videos. It would be really cool if you could include us in your list, right next to the lawyers and the upper end businessmen. All the best, you are great!
An analogy I've kept with me throughout my young adult life came from an old school Hollywood director talking about the power of a suit. He said something like, "A man's attire is his suit of armor." Pay attention to your clothes, gents. Good fortune is when preparation meets circumstance.
Great video. You've talked about these rules before, but when you bring them all together they multiply. I had an approximate idea of what I wanted. Now I know what I need and why. The message and the interchangeability are connected. Happy holiday.🎄
4:00 My purpose in life (or my “why”) is to help those in need, to help those who are suffering. And that’s why I’m applying for a job at the hospital at home so that I can do my best to help those in need, hopefully prevent more deaths from occurring, and help others realize how they can help people too.
To be honest, my "why" changes depending on my daily mood. Sometimes my why is, I want to be taken seriously at my job, on other days I want to be a role model for my younger brother and sister and then on other days I just want to feel like a million bucks and meet "spicy senioritas".
My "why" is because I just really enjoy looking good. I also think that looking your best is polite; people prefer looking at a well dressed man than a sloppy one, so I'm glad to oblige them.
I think it varies from person to person when you find your 'why'. For some, they've always known what they wanted to do, and how to affect others positively by it. For others, it may take their whole life. Personally, I have not found my 'why' yet, but when I do, I will come back to this video and post it! Great video as always, Antonio.
My why: with the year being how it is, I've decided the time is right to make a career jump into teaching. I've been dancing around the issue for a while, but I've decided to do it. I'm sure that students will pay more attention and respect to a well dressed teacher, than one who doesn't look like he gives a f**k. I watch these videos upon release, and it's helping my confidence and my style. Thank you.
I've been improving my style over the last 6 months and this video confirmed that I'm going in the right direction. I wore a suit jacket and tie to a recent zoom interview and was complimented by the hiring manager about how professional I looked. Now I'm looking forward to overhauling my wardrobe to dress with the end goal in mind.
I used to work for a UK tailor and we didn't say "communication, cut, construction", we said "message, measurements, material" but it's the same thing! Great video!
The video title reminds me of the first e-book I recieved from you, that introduced me to this channel. Edit: Yup, and it's updated now. Gracias, señor. Edit 2: Why? I'm studying to be a psychiatrist... People have dealt with being functionally traumatized far too long in my country.
Great work, Antonio. Decades of dressing how the government told me to dress left me nearly clueless after losing about 70 pounds. I was then thinking "what now?" Although I still wear the uniform at my day job, I took the time to educate myself on how to dress well for me. No looking back!
Not very successful in life but I work a railroad job that I’m proud of people talk mess about me saying I look like a vhs salesman but to know that it’s a great feeling because I have power to change people judgments of what there missing out on
Spot on !! Need to take the time n think about what you want the best version of yourself to look like . Then you make it happen Command respect and attention through your appearance. You are a walking talking corporation!
My why... To be the man that not only loves his family, but to be a good example for my kids. I enjoy my work (US Air Force) I truly feel honored that I'm able to serve and want to pass that down to next generation of Airman.
My why, is that I'm a 30 year old man who has been trying to buy his first house for close to 7 years, I'm trying to start my own business and I feel it's time to approach with a more refined angle and try to move forward in life.
The thrift store tip is a great one. You go to a thrift store in a high income area and you will find some great pants and shirts and even suits or sport coats. I have picked up so many good pieces from my goodwill for $6-$10 per article of clothing.
My why: I wanted to go in to politics i my country. And i needed to have the aspect of a professional. I put on my suits and never took them off. And now i am a elected official. Thanks Antonio! God bless you!
I started dressing a little better a few summers back and didn’t really take it seriously until that winter when I went to a botanical garden Christmas event and was just wearing snow clothes cause I didn’t have any stylish cold items. As I was walking around I saw this guy who was wearing a peacoat and a sweatshirt which was kind of my wake up call cause he looked so so good. Right away I picked up a black peacoat and a few different color scarfs. I’ve never looked so good in the winter before!
Hey I know that guy on the left @ Timestamp 6:16 Love to see all the fashion influencers connecting. Also liked how that 6:16 queued in when you said “maybe you’re in your 50s” then he pops up bc he likes talking about dressing your age!
I´ve read the original e-book years ago and needed all the time that passed since to fully understand why the attention one gives to his looks affects self-esteem and self value. With ups and downs that happenned in my recent past there was no better motivator than being recognized as being equal in company and/or social hierarchy. Even my son looks up to me as a someone to respect - not by demanding it, but by admiring his father. Keep the great job Antonio, I´m looking forward to read the 7DSS again (and pass it to the ones that may need it)!
i don't know why but your confidence is contagious. i knew most of your suggestions but i never appleid them on me. i though it wont work. but know i want to try it and make it my lifestyle. thanks
I watch this video repeatedly…(over and over and over) and I wish I had watched it 25 years ago!! (when I graduated from college and before I was a touring musician and before I worked on Wall Street!!)
Make this world what it could be, for the better of all mankind. Help everyone, including myself, reach their full potential or at least as close to it as possible. Make it easier to do so, way more accessible and make sure everyone has this opportunity.
My current pourpose is to work hard and serve my country. To become the man I want to become confident, educated, resiliant, reliable and a good friend. I want to try cause its all I can give. I love your channel you've opened my young mind to new styles and changed mine along the way. Thank you keep up the amazing work. 👍👍
At my office there is a guy who wears the same shirt for the 5 days and unlike a fine wine, the shirt had aged disgracefully very quickly with more wrinkles and food & sweat stains... and this alone should help anyone to be not apathetic about their image. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I’m 15, and I cannot agree with you more about communication here. I’ve gone into fashion stores wearing my every day go-to: sports jacket, jeans or chinos, oxfords, casual dress shirt, and been offered jobs. I’ve been told I look mature, well-dressed, and that I clearly understand fashion. And I’m not bragging here, I just want to show you all the benefits of dressing well, and there are benefits. Claim them!
My why is because I'm the "CEO" of my business location as I lead it alone, and though business casual has been accepted norm, I wanted to raise the bar for myself; particularly since I'm introverted and may get overlooked among my peers. Too, it gives me more confidence in my role because I look more like the "boss". Since watching your videos, I've taken a more concerted effort in my style -- classically styled and tailored clothes, quality footwear, fragrances, and accessories. I've learned so much and continue to learn more each day from a variety of sources; including other men of style who I would have dismissed before. I've received so many compliments on my style, and even my leader has taken notice and commented! It's given me a boost of confidence and pride in myself. I practice daily and push myself to look my best even if I'm the sharpest, overdressed guy in Walmart! In today's culture, men's style seems to be more the exception than the rule, and I now prefer to be the exception. To your point, I have made purchases when items are on sale, used ebay and Amazon, and purchased secondhand. You can't go wrong with classic, well-made products that are lightly used; then having the clothes tailored to be personalized to me or shoes cobblered and revitalized.
Unfortunally my job doesnt require any good clothing, but I love suits and be well dressed when going out, My actual first and only suit is 100% merino wool, kinda like english style, 2 buttons, amazing feeling, love the channel
My “why” is that I want to utilize my style to give me the confidence to express my uniqueness, freely.🤞 I have a lot of epic fails, but style should be the safety net with which we can just “walk it off” and move on...
Working out religiously for 8 months, 6’1 200lbs, I started wearing Quality Slim Fit Suits, i paid attention to fashion details, I found a good tailor, who tailors my overcoats and suits made to fit, I have to tell you, it is an absolute game changer!! Any room or store you walk into ALLLLL eyes is on you!!! People treat you with respect, women are on their best behavior when speaking to them, when you perceive all this treatment, it is important that you do the work and introspect, so that the way that you look and are perceived is congruent with what and how you feel about yourself internally, then your life will really change for even more the better!
Overall very good advice . As men we sometimes become lazy or not even taught how to behave and dress . There was a time when fathers would teach their son how to behave and dress . We need to bring bag the masculine man.
Unintentional "why": putting the effort into self care/presentation for sake of showing respect for those you're dealing with inevitably leads to respect received. Win/Win.
You made a comment that had me say out loud, "Thank you!" Style is on my mind every time I put on clothes. But, I am not a lawyer, or a professional businessman. I "manage" a small casino. But the primary source of my income comes from tips. I rarely receive them. After talking to many of the regulars I'm told its the way I dress and carry myself. They tend to believe I'm the owner and therefore don't need their charity. This has plagued me since I was a child. We shopped at thrift stores. But I always put together timeless style, ironed my clothes, ensured proper fit, color-coordinated. Simply put, I never looked sloppy. As a result they always thought I was rich when in fact I was poor. They always viewed my as a leader although I constantly combat anxiety. I've even lost relationships over the impression that the women were somehow lesser than me because of my structure. They needed me to be sloppy, make mistakes and be irrational sometimes. But even my sloppy is calculated. These concepts of style don't fit The Plumber, The Blue Collar Guy. I know this isn't the channel for it, but I need help being The Everyday / Every-man's guy.
My why, I got a job at a very well known ballroom dancing studio. The expectation is that we dress well while we are in the studio. Nicely pressed shirts, neck tie, styled hair, clean shaven, etc. I'm not going to say that I dress the same way outside the studio, but I have become more aware of how I look on the street. We have a good chance of running into our students, so we still have to look respectable, seeing as we are a direct image our the studio. Starting out was very difficult, because I only owned one dress shirt, 3 ties, a pair of dress pants and a pair of cheap dress shoes. I have managed to expand my wardrobe, and I feel confident on the job, and I now have something to wear for almost any occasion
It’s funny you mention uniforms. I worked as a carpenter helper for a large org when I was young. We didn’t have uniforms. One of the guys I was assigned to work with did a lot of what we call side work. He always looked neater than the other guys in the shop. He told it was because when he would go to someone’s house to give them an estimated he had realized that by having neat clean work pants a pressed work shirt and here was the big one, work boots that were broken in but clean. He said it gave people confidence that he was professional and knew what he was doing. He had a trick that he would do. Before he went into someone’s house he made a show of wiping his feet on the mat. It sends a message. A lot of the guys laughed at him behind his back but he didn’t care. Because he was doing all the work he could handle.
i can proudly say i've imrpoved my style really quite a lot over the years. your videos helped me a long way antonio. thanks for making me a better man!
Thanks Antonio for this video. It has helped me so much in my everyday dealings with people and clothing makes a man and how people see you when conversating or conducting business
The deadly sins in my closet are short-sleeved T-shirts and sweat pants. That's my "uniform." Not much of a uniform you say? Probably. But I'm 75, I live in a senior's residence, and my health isn't great (meaning I spend quite a bit of time resting). So my uniform reflects my needs. But I also have this delightful, interchangeable wardrobe. Shirts, slacks, and jacket. It's in my closet, waiting for me to pull it out. Maybe, . . . tomorrow. Maybe when I get clear about the "why" for this stage of my life.
You got me. Have just downloaded your new Book. As it is 1am in Melbourne Australia, in the middle of Summer, I expect that the sun will be rising by the time I absorb the rewrite. Phil.
Hmmmm, asking for donations from friends and family is a bit of stretch but okay, just want to show people will find a way to be better in dressing. And im all for it. Thanks, Antonio.
My Italian-American grandparents did not have a proverbial pot to piss in, but they always found a way to look good. They dressed in a simple, dignified way, and they continue to be my inspiration.
My "why" is quite simple. Music is the only thing I CAN do. It is the only thing I ever have been able to do, the only thing I ever have been able to understand. So, I need to get myself to a city where that industry DOES exist, so I CAN make a living in the music industry. (If you don't work for the government, the nuclear facility, or the port, you have no purpose in this city. The only option for you is restaurant or retail.)
@ Guitar Nerd. Prior to COVID, the City south of the Equator that best meetts your stated requirement is Melbourne Australia, which has always been the Capital City for live entertainment, that supported an entire Industry with its "Pub Culture". Sixty years ago a very young Olivia Newton John and her friend Pat Carroll used the L aundromat at the end off the street and my neighbour, John Cosgrove who started the Fendermen, took over the group run by Pat Carroll's husband, I can't remember the name at the moment but it was one of the best in Australia. When he wentt to the US with Olivia he wrote many of her songs. So give yourself a holiday break in COVID free Melbourne, and join in a Band. Phil.
And you also have greats such as AC/DC to Newsboys. Although, to be completely honest, those car-sized spiders are the reason why you will NEVER see me anywhere near Australia. For example, those giant Frostbite Spiders all over Skyrim are actually real Australian spiders. Nope. Not going anywhere near there.
Great advice. I made some of these mistakes. Plan the look you are growing into. What do you have, what do you needm don't go spending money everywhere. And shop online, the people running stores' style and age has changed. So has their taste in what they order. At present (Covid), you can't try them on anyway so may as well order online. I'm going to be switching. I can't find a hoodie to save my life. I'm 41 so my style is in between. I'm not trying to look young. Like Style O.G., I'm ok with growing older. But I don't want to look like a boomer either. Make smart choices. Buy the foundation then work from there. Watch Antonio, Style OG and whichever channels fit your look, country, climate and culture. Practicality. Happy Holidays. ☕
i was an ojt in a site where they're renovating an office area before and my company is for the data cable pulling, i remembered the time when we enter the site for the first time, many of them looked at us and some even go back to their job like their boss entered the area. few days passed, someone approached us and asked why are we there and we answered 'we're doin the cable pulling for data' and then they act normal from then on. it seems strange for me at that time until i recently pay attention to the affects of my casual clothing in an environment. we're all wearing casual clothes with collar at that time
My why-I started dressing nice for Mass, I’m Catholic, but have slowly started to dress nicer in other aspects of my life so that I look more professional. I’m in my second year of college and about to go off to University to study Mechanical Engineering and I want to be and look professional. On top of that, I want to be a good example for my younger brother, my peers, and my brothers peers, so that they know it’s a good thing to dress well.
Also, I don’t have any pocket squares yet, do you have any suggestions for the first several pocket squares to get, my jackets are a royal blue, black, dark earth tone, black with a hint of blue, silver blue, and super dark blue. The dress shirts I wear are solid colors, white, light blue, dark green, burgundy, dark blue, and royal blue. I don’t usually wear ties, but I have a number of them and can match multiple to different dress combinations.
"How you do anything, is how you do everything." - This may not apply 100%, but generally, if someone is slacking in one department (IE style) or "half-asses" it in one area, they're going to half-ass in everywhere else.
I don't necessarily see it as a bad thing that 'society doesn't just see the real you but makes quick judgements based on your appearance' it is called having standards, and having the self respect to present yourself with dignity says something about your character, it is like a little shortcut for people to think you are reliable.

The hidden 8th sin: Showing off and bragging about your expensive clothes, with the intention of bringing others down
Anything even the best accomplishment can turn into poison if it is used to make others feel like shit.
Gucci
He covered that in the uncouth 6th sin. Guys who dress nice but are mean and just an empty suit.
Whenever I speak about what I'm wearing after I get a complement, I try to encourage men to care about their style. I explain to them what I do and how I do it (thrift stores, learning, having fun).

The middle class and upper middle class tend to dress so well in the UK. It is effortless. This is actually "engrained" at a young age. No logos or flashy and "blingy" type of clothing.
The wags, footballers and rappers do not dress well. There is a class divide in how we dress in the UK...
@@AbdulKareem-uy6hk you understand that the awful football players and their dreadful wives and girlfriends are not stylish at all as an English man I think they are an embarrassment to our nation and they don’t even have the good taste to actually win at something too
I dress well because I enjoy it. I love working at jobs where I get to dress this way. As it shows that I am professional and put together
Same here pal
Here is my "why" - Since middle school, I was bullied every day. Then, I wore soccer clothes and went into an "emo" dressing phase. One day, I noticed that the way I dressed made friends, family, and teachers view me as something I was not. From that day (12 years ago), I have dressed nice.

Currently, I am getting into shoes for the first time, and get complements on my Allen Edmonds Hamilton boots when I run into meetings.

Law layers... ah yes those ones
@@sipsimies1588 "Big law lawyers"... that is the phrase I used. "big law" is a type of law firm that employs more than 200 lawyers and pays well.

My 'why' is that it helps with self-esteem and in all honesty, I'm getting tired of letting people down, including myself.
God, family, legacy. Nobody’s perfect, but giving anything but my best is cheating the ones I love out of the man I could be.
Antonio, After wearing a uniform from 28 to 58 yrs old, I lost interest in clothes that I use to have. Now I’m building a wardrobe and my wife and daughters love it! Thanks for all your advice.
My “why” is simple: I want to be a good example for my children. Every father wants to look at his kids and say they’re exceptional, but I know that mine can outshine me by a light year someday as long as they have a solid base; I wake up every day and go to work to build that base for them. No other reasons necessary.
My “why”:
I’m tired of looking and living in the ghetto tired of working for nothing. Today I put out some resumes at 5 star/luxury business resorts and stuff and that’s all I’m applying for, high class.
I got my clothes at a thrift store I’m tall n skinny so of course clothes are baggy a dress shirt two pants two blazers. Might not fit right but I’m not giving up.
I’m even learning about etiquette and manners
I've learned so much from this channel,almost in an academic way.The classiest Style Channel on youtube🔥
You're awesome - MEME EMPIRE!
Made a lot of these mistakes myself, bad fit being one of the absolute worst
It sure is. I think we've all made this mistake when buying clothes.
3 min in and this is already one of your best videos ever
3:02 I woke up when i was around 27, i will be 29 soon. The funny thing is Antonio you where the first guy on youtube who teached me how to look better, somehow you manage it to be in my youtube recomendation back then, since then i improved a lot thank you so much! I learned how to look good with my outfits, i get so many compliments.
@ IxamusMC. Not only do friends notice when you lift your game, strangers do too. But you will be suprised how many women will say to you when you are standing in a que at a supermarket POS Terminal ------- " I wish I could get my man to dress as well as you do", and they mean it. Phil.
I'm 42 and about to be divorced. I need to lift my game and a wardrobe update is a must. A new life is about to begin so looking the part is my 'why', and also my 'because'.
My why is because there are things I am perfect for. I may not be the best in the world at anything, but there are moments of perfect placement and timing, the epitome of “right time, right place”- and finding those moments where I can leverage my own experience to change someone’s world are going to change my own life too.
I love what you said about etiquette. My grandmother sat me at the table when I was 8, at a formal dinner setting and showed me how proper etiquette. She told me, proper etiquette is a moral obligation. To do unto others, as you would have them do unto you. Manners and respect will carry you through the world. Great advice!
I like to dress well for work, even though many people dress business casual, most of my colleagues do not make an effort to dress well.
It communicates that I am serious about my job. Being detail-oriented is an important function of my profession, and I like projecting that with my attire.
I dress well for church. It communicates to ME, that this is important. God deserves my best. It puts me in the right frame of mind for the service.
I dress up for dates with my wife. I like to plan occasions where we dress up. It affords us the opportunity to see each other at our best. It communicates to her, that she is my most important person. Why should my boss get my best, and she get less? I spend my work days with him. I am spending my LIFE with HER!
Hit me up Dave for a coin - congrats on having such an awesome Grandmother! www.realmenrealstyle.com/contact/
Dave, that was heartwarming. No joke, I'd love to have friends like you. Keep it up!
Real Men Real Style,
It is Christmas.
In that spirit, I would like to pass my coin on to someone else, who may really need the encouragement
Truthfully, I have more than I need!
Powerful
Best comment on here. Never let the Boss get the best and the wife less. Dressing well for church too, I'm going to start doing that as well. I'll give God my Best as well.
Late to the party maybe, but learning to style well is all about confidence for me. If you look good, you feel good. If you feel good, you do good.
Antonio sir! My why is: I want to be the part of those people who are trying to fix some kind of misconceptions and I want to stand out without caring what my society thinks of my style if I'm confident and trying something new because I'm from Pakistan and I live in village where people have assemptions about style as everything you talk about in your videos .
This channel really helped me grow as a men. Previously I used to rock jeans even for meetings. Now I dress up like a millionaire that made my business grow. Thanks.
My why in this season of my life is to facilitate to the best of my abilities, helping my sons and my wife reach their fullest potential. If that is all I do in my life it will be a life well lived.
My why is my family. Representing myself so they are proud of me and my business clients are more happy with me.
I work in a men’s clothing store and I think I’ll start recommending this channel for further advice!
My "why" is finding confidence in myself. I've been a pessimist my entire life, bordering on depression most of the time until my ex cheated on me. I've spent almost a fourth of my life with her, and I realized I constantly had to put myself in the backseat for other people.
I've gotta take care of myself, put myself out there and grab me some self-esteem because no one else will.
I know it's petty but I feel this is the start of a great journey.
Great video Antonio. My "Why" is to be a positive role model for my daughters. To show them how a true man is supposed to act, dress, behave as well as showing respect for others. To show them that style does make a difference in how people perceive you and will show you more respect just based upon how you dress . Merry Christmas Antonio and everyone at RMRS.
LOVE it!
My 'Why' is that I want to look the part and advance my career, which I know was hampered by my lack of style. In doing this I hope to provide a better life for my child and give them the opportunities that I never got - love the pocket square Antonio!
Hi, Antonio! I am a great fan of your channel and I have been following it closely for years. I think you are the undisputed leader in the field. You mention so many professions when you give your examples, but you never mention diplomats. I am a diplomat and I have to dress smart everyday and the same goes for Government experts who work administrative jobs and are expected to wear suits. I am sure we/they learn how to dress well mainly thanks to your channel. Me and my colleagues often discuss your videos. It would be really cool if you could include us in your list, right next to the lawyers and the upper end businessmen. All the best, you are great!
My 'Why' is to show myself and the people around me the amount of respekt they deserve.
An analogy I've kept with me throughout my young adult life came from an old school Hollywood director talking about the power of a suit. He said something like, "A man's attire is his suit of armor."
Pay attention to your clothes, gents. Good fortune is when preparation meets circumstance.
Great video. You've talked about these rules before, but when you bring them all together they multiply.
I had an approximate idea of what I wanted. Now I know what I need and why. The message and the interchangeability are connected.
Happy holiday.🎄
4:00 My purpose in life (or my “why”) is to help those in need, to help those who are suffering. And that’s why I’m applying for a job at the hospital at home so that I can do my best to help those in need, hopefully prevent more deaths from occurring, and help others realize how they can help people too.
To be honest, my "why" changes depending on my daily mood. Sometimes my why is, I want to be taken seriously at my job, on other days I want to be a role model for my younger brother and sister and then on other days I just want to feel like a million bucks and meet "spicy senioritas".
My "why" is because I just really enjoy looking good. I also think that looking your best is polite; people prefer looking at a well dressed man than a sloppy one, so I'm glad to oblige them.
I think it varies from person to person when you find your 'why'. For some, they've always known what they wanted to do, and how to affect others positively by it. For others, it may take their whole life. Personally, I have not found my 'why' yet, but when I do, I will come back to this video and post it! Great video as always, Antonio.
My why: with the year being how it is, I've decided the time is right to make a career jump into teaching. I've been dancing around the issue for a while, but I've decided to do it. I'm sure that students will pay more attention and respect to a well dressed teacher, than one who doesn't look like he gives a f**k. I watch these videos upon release, and it's helping my confidence and my style. Thank you.
Awesome Andy!
I've been improving my style over the last 6 months and this video confirmed that I'm going in the right direction. I wore a suit jacket and tie to a recent zoom interview and was complimented by the hiring manager about how professional I looked. Now I'm looking forward to overhauling my wardrobe to dress with the end goal in mind.
Awesome video Antonio, do you have any tips for a high school student?
I used to work for a UK tailor and we didn't say "communication, cut, construction", we said "message, measurements, material" but it's the same thing! Great video!
You don’t judge a man by the mistakes he has made; you judge a man by what he has learned from them.
The video title reminds me of the first e-book I recieved from you, that introduced me to this channel.
Edit: Yup, and it's updated now. Gracias, señor.
Edit 2: Why? I'm studying to be a psychiatrist... People have dealt with being functionally traumatized far too long in my country.
Great work, Antonio. Decades of dressing how the government told me to dress left me nearly clueless after losing about 70 pounds. I was then thinking "what now?" Although I still wear the uniform at my day job, I took the time to educate myself on how to dress well for me. No looking back!
Joe - great to see you here! Have you received a coin yet? Email me - www.realmenrealstyle.com/contact/
Not very successful in life but I work a railroad job that I’m proud of people talk mess about me saying I look like a vhs salesman but to know that it’s a great feeling because I have power to change people judgments of what there missing out on
My Why - Servant leadership - radiate integrity and confidence. Attention to details matters.
Spot on !! Need to take the time n think about what you want the best version of yourself to look like . Then you make it happen Command respect and attention through your appearance. You are a walking talking corporation!
MY WHY: I believe in here to change people's perspectives in terms of the youth and sharp dressing.
My why... To be the man that not only loves his family, but to be a good example for my kids. I enjoy my work (US Air Force) I truly feel honored that I'm able to serve and want to pass that down to next generation of Airman.
One of the very best Antonio's video!
My why, is that I'm a 30 year old man who has been trying to buy his first house for close to 7 years, I'm trying to start my own business and I feel it's time to approach with a more refined angle and try to move forward in life.
The thrift store tip is a great one. You go to a thrift store in a high income area and you will find some great pants and shirts and even suits or sport coats. I have picked up so many good pieces from my goodwill for $6-$10 per article of clothing.
My why: I wanted to go in to politics i my country. And i needed to have the aspect of a professional. I put on my suits and never took them off. And now i am a elected official. Thanks Antonio! God bless you!
I started dressing a little better a few summers back and didn’t really take it seriously until that winter when I went to a botanical garden Christmas event and was just wearing snow clothes cause I didn’t have any stylish cold items. As I was walking around I saw this guy who was wearing a peacoat and a sweatshirt which was kind of my wake up call cause he looked so so good. Right away I picked up a black peacoat and a few different color scarfs. I’ve never looked so good in the winter before!
Hey I know that guy on the left @
Timestamp
6:16
Love to see all the fashion influencers connecting. Also liked how that 6:16 queued in when you said “maybe you’re in your 50s” then he pops up bc he likes talking about dressing your age!
I´ve read the original e-book years ago and needed all the time that passed since to fully understand why the attention one gives to his looks affects self-esteem and self value. With ups and downs that happenned in my recent past there was no better motivator than being recognized as being equal in company and/or social hierarchy. Even my son looks up to me as a someone to respect - not by demanding it, but by admiring his father. Keep the great job Antonio, I´m looking forward to read the 7DSS again (and pass it to the ones that may need it)!
i don't know why but your confidence is contagious. i knew most of your suggestions but i never appleid them on me. i though it wont work. but know i want to try it and make it my lifestyle. thanks
I watch this video repeatedly…(over and over and over) and I wish I had watched it 25 years ago!! (when I graduated from college and before I was a touring musician and before I worked on Wall Street!!)
Antonio, I can’t thank you enough. Now I will always dress me well. 😘 thank you so much.
Hopefully, one day, I can huge you.
Wish you the best! ❤️
Someday - we are planning on more meetups starting again in 2022!
Make this world what it could be, for the better of all mankind. Help everyone, including myself, reach their full potential or at least as close to it as possible. Make it easier to do so, way more accessible and make sure everyone has this opportunity.
My current pourpose is to work hard and serve my country. To become the man I want to become confident, educated, resiliant, reliable and a good friend. I want to try cause its all I can give.
I love your channel you've opened my young mind to new styles and changed mine along the way.
Thank you keep up the amazing work. 👍👍
Yes, I am a plumber. I enjoy overlanding on holidays. I love a classic style, but it is not always practical.
Broooooo I'm a really great dresser but you just upgraded me to a whole another level thank you for your videos I'm binge watching you now
At my office there is a guy who wears the same shirt for the 5 days and unlike a fine wine, the shirt had aged disgracefully very quickly with more wrinkles and food & sweat stains... and this alone should help anyone to be not apathetic about their image.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
My why is to showcase my pursuit of excellence in everything I do even down to how I dress
Really enjoyed the vid, great job Antonio.
This might be your best video. Definitely worth saving and rewatching
This was excellent! Above and beyond video. Bravo!
One of the best style videos out there.
I’m 15, and I cannot agree with you more about communication here. I’ve gone into fashion stores wearing my every day go-to: sports jacket, jeans or chinos, oxfords, casual dress shirt, and been offered jobs. I’ve been told I look mature, well-dressed, and that I clearly understand fashion. And I’m not bragging here, I just want to show you all the benefits of dressing well, and there are benefits. Claim them!
My why is because I'm the "CEO" of my business location as I lead it alone, and though business casual has been accepted norm, I wanted to raise the bar for myself; particularly since I'm introverted and may get overlooked among my peers. Too, it gives me more confidence in my role because I look more like the "boss". Since watching your videos, I've taken a more concerted effort in my style -- classically styled and tailored clothes, quality footwear, fragrances, and accessories. I've learned so much and continue to learn more each day from a variety of sources; including other men of style who I would have dismissed before. I've received so many compliments on my style, and even my leader has taken notice and commented! It's given me a boost of confidence and pride in myself. I practice daily and push myself to look my best even if I'm the sharpest, overdressed guy in Walmart! In today's culture, men's style seems to be more the exception than the rule, and I now prefer to be the exception.
To your point, I have made purchases when items are on sale, used ebay and Amazon, and purchased secondhand. You can't go wrong with classic, well-made products that are lightly used; then having the clothes tailored to be personalized to me or shoes cobblered and revitalized.
Love this - hit me up for a coin! www.realmenrealstyle.com/contact/
Unfortunally my job doesnt require any good clothing, but I love suits and be well dressed when going out, My actual first and only suit is 100% merino wool, kinda like english style, 2 buttons, amazing feeling, love the channel
That's a damn good speech man about the Ferrari, the horse .Fantastic Antonio keep it up.
My “why” is that I want to utilize my style to give me the confidence to express my uniqueness, freely.🤞
I have a lot of epic fails, but style should be the safety net with which we can just “walk it off” and move on...
Working out religiously for 8 months, 6’1 200lbs, I started wearing Quality Slim Fit Suits, i paid attention to fashion details, I found a good tailor, who tailors my overcoats and suits made to fit, I have to tell you, it is an absolute game changer!!
Any room or store you walk into ALLLLL eyes is on you!!!
People treat you with respect, women are on their best behavior when speaking to them, when you perceive all this treatment, it is important that you do the work and introspect, so that the way that you look and are perceived is congruent with what and how you feel about yourself internally, then your life will really change for even more the better!
I absolutely enjoyed reading this. Bravo bravo bravo 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
@@AbdulKareem-uy6hk Thank you, I can’t express enough the importance of “Core Confidence”!.
I like that he calls us "gents." I feel he respects his audience.
Overall very good advice . As men we sometimes become lazy or not even taught how to behave and dress . There was a time when fathers would teach their son how to behave and dress . We need to bring bag the masculine man.
Ok damn. This video was actually useful. Most vids literally tell you what to wear, but here I got some actual tips. Thanks!!
Unintentional "why": putting the effort into self care/presentation for sake of showing respect for those you're dealing with inevitably leads to respect received. Win/Win.
You made a comment that had me say out loud, "Thank you!" Style is on my mind every time I put on clothes. But, I am not a lawyer, or a professional businessman. I "manage" a small casino. But the primary source of my income comes from tips. I rarely receive them. After talking to many of the regulars I'm told its the way I dress and carry myself. They tend to believe I'm the owner and therefore don't need their charity. This has plagued me since I was a child. We shopped at thrift stores. But I always put together timeless style, ironed my clothes, ensured proper fit, color-coordinated. Simply put, I never looked sloppy. As a result they always thought I was rich when in fact I was poor. They always viewed my as a leader although I constantly combat anxiety. I've even lost relationships over the impression that the women were somehow lesser than me because of my structure. They needed me to be sloppy, make mistakes and be irrational sometimes. But even my sloppy is calculated. These concepts of style don't fit The Plumber, The Blue Collar Guy. I know this isn't the channel for it, but I need help being The Everyday / Every-man's guy.
My why,
I got a job at a very well known ballroom dancing studio. The expectation is that we dress well while we are in the studio. Nicely pressed shirts, neck tie, styled hair, clean shaven, etc. I'm not going to say that I dress the same way outside the studio, but I have become more aware of how I look on the street. We have a good chance of running into our students, so we still have to look respectable, seeing as we are a direct image our the studio. Starting out was very difficult, because I only owned one dress shirt, 3 ties, a pair of dress pants and a pair of cheap dress shoes. I have managed to expand my wardrobe, and I feel confident on the job, and I now have something to wear for almost any occasion
It’s funny you mention uniforms. I worked as a carpenter helper for a large org when I was young. We didn’t have uniforms. One of the guys I was assigned to work with did a lot of what we call side work. He always looked neater than the other guys in the shop. He told it was because when he would go to someone’s house to give them an estimated he had realized that by having neat clean work pants a pressed work shirt and here was the big one, work boots that were broken in but clean. He said it gave people confidence that he was professional and knew what he was doing. He had a trick that he would do. Before he went into someone’s house he made a show of wiping his feet on the mat. It sends a message.
A lot of the guys laughed at him behind his back but he didn’t care. Because he was doing all the work he could handle.
LOVE this!
Omg you actually implemented my suggestions for the style pyramid, got a bit of a proud daddy moment there 😉
Thanks for the idea! I saw it a few times and agree it's great!
i can proudly say i've imrpoved my style really quite a lot over the years. your videos helped me a long way antonio. thanks for making me a better man!
Awesome - keep it up Nicolas. Thanks for taking my advice.
Yep, "Drop" is My problem!
My shoulders and hips are bigger than my waist
Thanks Antonio for this video. It has helped me so much in my everyday dealings with people and clothing makes a man and how people see you when conversating or conducting business
Yes I need to prioritize, for me I rather pay 100 dollars for a nice dinner than 100 dollars on a nice shirt. Thanks for the vid Antonio!
The deadly sins in my closet are short-sleeved T-shirts and sweat pants. That's my "uniform." Not much of a uniform you say? Probably. But I'm 75, I live in a senior's residence, and my health isn't great (meaning I spend quite a bit of time resting). So my uniform reflects my needs.
But I also have this delightful, interchangeable wardrobe. Shirts, slacks, and jacket. It's in my closet, waiting for me to pull it out. Maybe, . . . tomorrow. Maybe when I get clear about the "why" for this stage of my life.
You got me. Have just downloaded your new Book. As it is 1am in Melbourne Australia, in the middle of Summer, I expect that the sun will be rising by the time I absorb the rewrite. Phil.
Haha! Thanks Phil. I appreciate you.
This was an eye opener!! It really slows you down and make you think and reinvent yourself! 👀👀🥇🥇🏆🏆👍👍♥️♥️💯
I just bought my first suit with all the information that you told me and it worked great tailored and everything thank you
Hmmmm, asking for donations from friends and family is a bit of stretch but okay, just want to show people will find a way to be better in dressing.
And im all for it.
Thanks, Antonio.
My Italian-American grandparents did not have a proverbial pot to piss in, but they always found a way to look good. They dressed in a simple, dignified way, and they continue to be my inspiration.
Sometimes a 22min youtube video seems like a drag. Somehow this was short. Thank you
My "why" is quite simple. Music is the only thing I CAN do. It is the only thing I ever have been able to do, the only thing I ever have been able to understand. So, I need to get myself to a city where that industry DOES exist, so I CAN make a living in the music industry.
(If you don't work for the government, the nuclear facility, or the port, you have no purpose in this city. The only option for you is restaurant or retail.)
@ Guitar Nerd. Prior to COVID, the City south of the Equator that best meetts your stated requirement is Melbourne Australia, which has always been the Capital City for live entertainment, that supported an entire Industry with its "Pub Culture". Sixty years ago a very young Olivia Newton John and her friend Pat Carroll used the L aundromat at the end off the street and my neighbour, John Cosgrove who started the Fendermen, took over the group run by Pat Carroll's husband, I can't remember the name at the moment but it was one of the best in Australia. When he wentt to the US with Olivia he wrote many of her songs. So give yourself a holiday break in COVID free Melbourne, and join in a Band. Phil.
And you also have greats such as AC/DC to Newsboys.
Although, to be completely honest, those car-sized spiders are the reason why you will NEVER see me anywhere near Australia. For example, those giant Frostbite Spiders all over Skyrim are actually real Australian spiders. Nope. Not going anywhere near there.
Thanks for preparing this amazing content
My Heart is beating.
Great advice. I made some of these mistakes. Plan the look you are growing into. What do you have, what do you needm don't go spending money everywhere. And shop online, the people running stores' style and age has changed. So has their taste in what they order. At present (Covid), you can't try them on anyway so may as well order online. I'm going to be switching. I can't find a hoodie to save my life. I'm 41 so my style is in between. I'm not trying to look young. Like Style O.G., I'm ok with growing older. But I don't want to look like a boomer either. Make smart choices. Buy the foundation then work from there. Watch Antonio, Style OG and whichever channels fit your look, country, climate and culture. Practicality. Happy Holidays. ☕
i was an ojt in a site where they're renovating an office area before and my company is for the data cable pulling, i remembered the time when we enter the site for the first time, many of them looked at us and some even go back to their job like their boss entered the area. few days passed, someone approached us and asked why are we there and we answered 'we're doin the cable pulling for data' and then they act normal from then on. it seems strange for me at that time until i recently pay attention to the affects of my casual clothing in an environment. we're all wearing casual clothes with collar at that time
My why-I started dressing nice for Mass, I’m Catholic, but have slowly started to dress nicer in other aspects of my life so that I look more professional. I’m in my second year of college and about to go off to University to study Mechanical Engineering and I want to be and look professional. On top of that, I want to be a good example for my younger brother, my peers, and my brothers peers, so that they know it’s a good thing to dress well.
Also, I don’t have any pocket squares yet, do you have any suggestions for the first several pocket squares to get, my jackets are a royal blue, black, dark earth tone, black with a hint of blue, silver blue, and super dark blue. The dress shirts I wear are solid colors, white, light blue, dark green, burgundy, dark blue, and royal blue. I don’t usually wear ties, but I have a number of them and can match multiple to different dress combinations.
"How you do anything, is how you do everything." - This may not apply 100%, but generally, if someone is slacking in one department (IE style) or "half-asses" it in one area, they're going to half-ass in everywhere else.
I don't necessarily see it as a bad thing that 'society doesn't just see the real you but makes quick judgements based on your appearance' it is called having standards, and having the self respect to present yourself with dignity says something about your character, it is like a little shortcut for people to think you are reliable.
