I like the concept of the video, but this was hardly a "HOW TO" video, but more of a "here are some examples we chose... and WHY." And Mr. Combatant Gentleman CEO, your shirt sleeves are FAR too short...
I thought the same, he speaks fast and doesn't properly annunciate. And using the word "dropping" to announce a new line they are introducing is juvenile. Turns me off from supporting his business.
he's not going to tell you how to get a suit and tie, you just pick them up from a store or order them online lol. And he basically did that for you in the beginning with the advertisment for combatant men on how to get a suit, ties and shirts. Also, the video tells you how to pick suit, shirt and tie combos if you were listening..
Hi, is it important to match the shoes with the tie?,I hace to wear a light champagne tie with a navy blue suit,what shoes color should I wear?,thank you.
Just thanking you for providing examples and the combatgent site. I'm a budget kind of guy and the prices are unbelievable! Every day i stand out because my generation of males do not wear suits. Do you think you can do a video of how to match suits and shoes, dress shoes, or just casual sneakers? Idk if youve done a video on something like that but i'll check your page. Thanks!
Art of Manliness Hi on what occasions appart from weddings would it be acceptable to wear cream/ivory tie. As i have researched and found that this colour ties are mostly worn at weddings. Thank you in advance
i am wearing a black suit with a lighter shade of skyblue color in my brother's wedding...what color of tie and shoes should i wear..also please suggest me about the pocket square in this combination.
if you want to go simple just a black tie but if you want maybe a tie with 3 different colors like sky blue white and black it can be checkered or striped you want your tie to stick out from your shirt and for pocket square try to get it with the same colors but if you cant find it just get a skyblue pocket square. for you shoes caramel or tan shoes is the way to go
Anybody know if there is someone who does videos like this but for women's professional attire as opposed to what's "cute" or "in"? My sister is really looking for advise and/or tips in these regards.
All I hear is jargon with no substance. This video would be a lot more helpful if the presenter would actually define what vague phrases like "bring out the suit" and "draws/brings it together" mean.
So I'm graduating soon and I got myself a mid grey suit (suit in the far right in the video). I plan on wearing it with a white shirt and a black tie though, I cant seem to decide on what shoes to wear with the suit. Any recommendations?
For green you wanna go cream and earthy colors. For brown, if you're not too comfortable with mix and matched colors, try blue. I have a brown sport coat I match with my blue shirt, brown tie, jeans and brown wing tipped shoes and brown belt. You can mix it up by throwing in a pocket square that's maroon or orange(rust or a muted orange, unless you're pretty brave.)
Aldiron Thanks. I have a sort of weird suit though. It's shiny and sort of a brownish greenish sort of color. I tend to like the way yellow (not bright yellow, more of a muted yellow) shirts and bright yellow bow ties go with it, and I get compliments from some fashionable people I know when I wear it. Personally, I know how to dress a brown or green suit, but I asked mainly because they didn't cover it in the video.
I really enjoyed the imperial shaving / barber shop video because it felt informative while bringing attention to a brand, this video however just shoves a website on you and then shows you what to buy more so then teaching.. Not the direction AOM needs to head
My Two Cents: Rather than focus on color or pattern matching. The real mark of a well suited man is proportion. Mainly, making sure your suit lapels, collar "ears" and tie are all about the same width. There is nothing more telling of a unpolished gentleman than mismatched lapel-collar-tie widths. Secondly, making sure your shirt sleeves are just a bit longer than your jacket's sleeves. I like about half an inch, but up to one inch is is acceptable. Lastly, pants should almost always be hemmed. I prefer getting my pants cuffed with no break, which means my pants hit at shoe level. There is no extra fabric to slouch forward or back. Recently, getting your pants hemmed a little higher (to shoe skin or sock) was in fashion, but that look will eventually fade away, and you'll be left with a suit that looks like a child should be wearing it, not a gentleman.
+Aditya Pramanta S.P.L Generally it is done that way but it is not a necessity. Think gray suit with black shirt. So long as the color's don't clash, and the suit coordinates well, there's absolutely no reason why you couldn't do it that way, should you want to.
Brandon Correia True but fit has no factor in what I'm speaking on. I'm referring to the colors of the suit, the style, and how the other pieces (Tie, Pocket Square) don't seem to match even though he designs suits for a living.
I really dislike this guy, he doesn't seem to have a clue about what he's doing, I already disliked the first video with him. The last outfit to the right in the end of the video is very professional but the other ones... come on, what a disgrace.
I believe he has no good sewing skills and did not learn it in a professional taylor environment. I would not chose this company for buying a suit if I was a man. His own suit does not look good and that has nothing to do with the fact that he is overweight. There are plenty of overweight politicians and businessmen who wear fantastic, well fitting suits, taylored for their body type.
The ad sux, the man explaining the matching doesn't even have his shirt sleeves long enough... I love Art of Manliness but you can do better, why not let Antonio do this?
Totally AGREE. I can't think of any other youtuber who has as many, and as in-depth videos on men's style as Antonio Centeno. Secondly, AC has done SO many articles for AoM about style before! Thirdly, AC also has a bespoke clothing shop - this AoM video unfortunately gives me the impression of nothing more than an advert for this particular clothing store (which I have nothing against, but this is not an instructional - so it shouldn't be window dressed as one)
Because it's "quick" to manufacture. they have already used that material for the tie and since they already have that material they make a pocket square to go with it. It is possible though to find sets that compliment rather than match.
This "tutorial" is quite superficial. I agree with svtang03, it's more examples. in my opinion one of the MOST IMPORTANT things to consider when choosing suit/shirt/tie combinations is knowing which colors WORK FOR YOU. FYI> Blue looks good on almost everyone.
Sorry, but the pink shirt is not a "windowpane" it closer to a gingham. A window pane would have checks about one inch square. And, this guy knows nothing.
Dude, you need to invest in some non-glare lenses if you want to make a stronger presence in front of others. The reflection of the camera lights draws attention away from your eyes.
+spokeefe He needs to slow down and ponder his words, too. Great looks are at the forefront of the gentleman, but poised and refined speaking follows close behind. Too many "uhms" and "reallys".
Why would I take advice from from short pudge fat dude on fashion when I am lean and in shape? It makes no sense why I would take this chubber serious with his opinion. This is a fail
Real men realize that historically even having gendered colors is ridiculous and that pink being girly is even more so, and thus wear whatever they want without thought to gender perception.
I don't intend to be cruel, but this infinitely boring ad serves absolutely no purpose. It's mostly confusing blah blah blah which I doubt might help anyone. And just look how he dress himself, the poor guy ! Again, not trying to knock anyone down, but people who came here were asking for clear, precise, and (hopefully) short and general tips and directions; nothing more, but certainly nothing less...
I really hate ties.I really wonder who had that ''briliant'' idea that a piece of fabric hanging from your neck looks good?It's like wearing a noose, or maybe even a dog collar with a leash. In 1-200years from now, people will laugh on people tried to look ''sophisticated''
Could you explain me how a strip of fabric makes you a ''gentleman''?And who are YOU who can decide who is and who isn't a gentleman?A shallow man who stays focused on the clothes?Clothes doesn't make you a gentleman but calm demeanor, intellectual thinking, polite behaviour,etc Some of these you will never have no matter how many fancy and expensive suits you buy.
***** I did a bit of research on this, and wearing a necktie does have bit of benefit scientifically. The somewhat phallic shape of a tie can be attributed to masculinity, since when not wearing a jacket the necktie points toward the crotch. Also, it's one of the few pieces of formal wear which is acceptable for someone to customize in many different colors, patterns, etc. Adding that dash of color to normally conservative clothing adds more personality and vibrancy to your outfits. I can understand why neckties seem like a pointless accessory, but there is no denying that it adds much more variety to a man's wardrobe. If you can come up with something better, myself and all of the men in the world would love to know.

Well said
I completely agree!
I have a Combatant Gentleman slim fit 3 pc suit. Received many compliments and it is the best suit I own.
I wish it was the 30's again, where everyone wore a suit and tie. Or at least dressed nicely. I hate how its cool nowadays to dress like shit.
At least now classy dressers stand out more
I agree...these suits nowadays which are really short at length....r in trend these days...how shitty people looks wearing upwaist coats yukk

Dropping would mean something they are discontinuing, not adding.
@@sitbone3 No, it can mean it just became available at the store
Hi, is it important to match the shoes with the tie?,I hace to wear a light champagne tie with a navy blue suit,what shoes color should I wear?,thank you.
such a long ad
I cannot find the red and navy blue striped tie on your website, where can I get it? Appreciate the help

into the trash it goes!

Hi. Are the trends the same 7 years later ? Just in case.
Can a navy blazer match black pants

i wear a striped tie with a striped shirt. it's called power clashing, and i do it because i can!
boring combinations

Do they ship internationally?
Do a video on sizing.
“Can’t afford suit, but browsing on a Mac”......
Thanks for the tips my friend I will treasure your information.

brown color coat. sir plzz reply
Blue, navy, green

Is this place even safe to shop at. They just mite take all your card info..
is it ok to wear TEAL long sleeves under silver/grey suit? or it should always be WHITE?

+iFacTzZ Black tie with that combo is a bit dull, try a dark purple tie with a white pocket square and black dress shoes. Oxfords to be specific.
+The Faceless Man no go for black monk straps? haha
***** Monk straps are equally as awesome, go with them. More unique.
Monk straps it is! Thank you very much for the help!
What about green or brown suits?
For green you wanna go cream and earthy colors.

why you wearing flipflop ?
would a gray shirt go well with a navy suit??
it depends on some things, but more often than not yes
it would have to be a light grey for a navy blue suit but if it is bright blue try darker grey
it would have to be a light grey shirt for a navy blue suit but if it is bright blue try darker grey
For the dark grey suit, burgundy colored shoes and belt would work too.
Oh, cordovan leather? That shit's fantastic.
Glad you like it.
Those last two combo's are really crappy looking.. :|

Are you saying that my 1980's knit ties are back? Oh Yeah!!! Next, Miami Vice jackets and no socks, could be the next thing.
How about how to change a fire alarm's battery?
Does not look navy ???
Do you think shirt's color has to be lighter than the suit?
+Aditya Pramanta S.P.L Generally it is done that way but it is not a necessity.
Think gray suit with black shirt. So long as the color's don't clash, and the suit coordinates well, there's absolutely no reason why you couldn't do it that way, should you want to.
the code no longer works :(
I think we should stick to Antonio Centeno.
My Fred Flintstone tie would look good with _any_ of these! 8-)
What about a grey suit with lemon green shirt and orange tie. Finding it difficult to accept my fiancee's suggestion for our wedding
+Stephen Akpa Absolutely fucking not.
Dump her.
It's like an Ewok with a suit. ROFL
can't afford a suit but has a macbook
It irritates me that the suit in the advertisement fits and looks better than the suit that the "professional" is wearing.
It's hard to fit heavyset men
Brandon Correia True but fit has no factor in what I'm speaking on. I'm referring to the colors of the suit, the style, and how the other pieces (Tie, Pocket Square) don't seem to match even though he designs suits for a living.
Lol
Im very grateful for this channel. I subscribed :)
I wonder if the free tie is one of those knit ties :) whilst I won't berate them, personally I am not a fan in the slightest.
Dude had the wrong matching on his own suit =/ Navy and black is a nono
+Men Of The Dust Since when? Navy and black go incredibly well together.
He's morbidly obese so he wears all dark colors as camo.
Looks just fine
I love a Blue Navy colour so muchg.
He used the word "really" at least a 100 times.

Because it's "quick" to manufacture. they have already used that material for the tie and since they already have that material they make a pocket square to go with it. It is possible though to find sets that compliment rather than match.

Is it ever appropriate to wear a black shirt
As a waiter or caterer, perhaps?
Neal If you wanna look like a mob boss, then sure ;)
If you're fat.
skip to the 1 minute mark to skip the ad
The whole video is an ad.
😍😍😍😍😍😍Suits Hugs.
This "tutorial" is quite superficial. I agree with svtang03, it's more examples.
in my opinion one of the MOST IMPORTANT things to consider when choosing suit/shirt/tie combinations is knowing which colors WORK FOR YOU.
FYI> Blue looks good on almost everyone.
all the ties are record breaking ugly, and poorly matched and almost forgot to add, those tie knots are disgusting
The only that looks right is the one on the left.
Discúlpenme pero podrían haber sido un hombre de buena apariencia
Y sobretodo joven

oh ok buy new shit

dont forget overbearing

No, they are upscale English country gentleman.

His word choice is overbearing
I hate mix matching not cool.

The suits are made in China.
knit ties are awful.

Real men do not wear pink.
Real men know the versatility of every colour regardless of the gender it may imply.
Real men realize that historically even having gendered colors is ridiculous and that pink being girly is even more so, and thus wear whatever they want without thought to gender perception.
Keep telling yourself that.
I will, and I'll be right. Thanks for the encouragement to remain on the correct side.
Real men wear whatever the hell we want.
