I agree that not all 75 would work, but the mere fact that you can possibly get about 60 that do is a massive win. I think it’s a great approach from Steve nonetheless, as it’s a great way to maximize your wardrobe. I can also understand why you didn’t do more things like other shoes and whatnot, because unless you’re a fashion TH-camr, then you probably don’t realize just how MASSIVE a task it is to put on AND take off 75 different outfits!!! Always appreciate your effort, and the 1 million subs are a direct reflection of that.
@@PERFECTDARK10He went on and did his own thing because the light blue and cream shirt would wash out his skin (Making him look like an unhealthy vampire and not a living human). Same would be said if a person with warm/medium complexions (Asians, indians, south americans) would look dull if they wore yellow musturd
The concept is called interchangeability. This is excellent advice for suits in particular, but it applies to most clothing. To have a solid foundational wardrobe you need to have interchangeability between your fits.
The mistake was switching the light blue shirt for the navy zip polo. It made most of the suits look pretty sloppy. The reason Steve Harvey gave those options is because they all work. Great video.
Right. I’m going to do this, but I’m going to get all 5 suits the same brand and style. The shirts same brand and style button up. I also think just because this guy doesn’t like his completion next to some of those colors doesn’t mean they don’t match. I also want to do a sixth color Burgundy, but not sure what colors it goes with
@@bobbybrooks5846 I went to a Joseph A Bank and they were able to do the five suits right in front of me. It definitely works, if you do it right and don't make the stupid pants and shirt choices this guy did.
All 75 outfits will not work, but for the average person knowing that you have 75 options with only 13 items in your closet (5 suits, 6 shirts, and 2 pairs of shoes) without having to really think, is a win! To the trained eye, all 75 will not work. But, for the average person you are going to look better than most in the stuff that doesnt work
Huge issue was the pants and zip up shirt. The entire line of logic is relying on the traditional idea of a suit, which includes neither a zip up shirt, or those ridiculous jogger looking pants. They didn't have five *suits* and three shirts.
Good, useful video, thank you. With 5 choices of suit, shirt, shoes and ties you actually have over 7,700 permutations, so you can afford to drop a few! Even if you went with 4 choices of each, that's over 1,500. Because there's always the choice of wearing no jacket, or no tie! Many happy days of costume change ahead.
Great work, but you should have kept it to what Steve H. said, regardless of your skin tone. Changing the shirts really made the outfit selection look off.
I agree with you, not all the combinations work. I think you are spot on with the earth tones mixed with black and I'll be adding the hound to my collection soon!
1st of all, Steve Harvey's suggestions were altered with colors he never advised. So you can't really compare your clothes choices. The turtlenecks were a nice variation even though they weren't suggested. I would suggest that you follow his directions exactly, before doing a critique.
I think that getting a larger sweater to wear over your dress shirt and tie is another great addition for fall seasons. I'm not sure what colors would work exactly because my color sense is terrible
Steve Harvey was also sugguesting this as a base wardrobe in which he himself started off. Steve's suggestion is perfect for men who don't have much money (still great for men with money) to have the basics and it will look as if they have more outfits than they do plus it will give them diverse looks. His other outfits, of course he's grown to the place where he can be more creative in his looks. You would have been able to create more outfits if you did the 3 different color tops with 5 different color pants without jackets! That is 15 more looks... (Steve Harvy suggested 3 colors, 2 each Dress Shirts). You made 60 in what you see as looks to update.. you missed out on 15 more looks. If you actually used dress shirts it would have been better. It's nothing wrong with having basic ties to match each outfit, yet if you wore ties with some type of design even if it were a quiet one, it will elevate the look. Those basic colors will work for everyone: Black, Navy, Grey, Brown, Tan Suits and White, Cream, and Powder Blue. Tan someone might wear an oatmeal or a taupe color.. just a different variation of the same color. Brown someone may go with chocolate brown or a lighter brown.. and if you add a black dress shirt you can make more looks.. Steve Harvey loves the classic looks because it brings a look of sophistication and respect with it. It shows that a man cares about himself. You can make it a bit casual as you did here.. but it's still not the same energy.
I really loved this video! Personally, when I heard that audio I never thought that all 75 outfits would work. But I never thought that someone would ACTUALLY made a video about it; not just showing some outfits, but ACTUALLY explaining why the could or could not work. I really appreciate the effort, great video.
I am about to start college and being a very cautious man and I can say I'm more of a classic guy than today's generation. So as I don't have anyone to look up to like my dad's style and body type is absolutely different so yeah. I am really grateful for this video and it will help me a lot. And obviously 75 /75 wasn't possible but out of that around 60 is quite a lot and you can say it's enough for anyone. So great video and kudos to your efforts.. keep up the great work in helping young men like me who are entering these formal places to get knowledgeable
The look builder tool as SS is dope. Granted, just about everything they sell is out of my budget, but I love to build outfits, take screenshots, and then browse fast fashion brands to see if I can recreate the outfit.
To be honest suit supply became an absolute banger in my opinion. Not just for suits (which are fantastic) but also for basics like trousers, Chinos, turtlenecks, shirts and they even have decent shoes.
I just found this guy and I really like his fits! Forget suits. The casual ones with well-tailored sweaters and shirts are enough to give you that classic, timeless elegance.
Hello Marcel, I do agree some of the outfits don’t go together but as you said we did leave out other stuff that you could’ve tried on to see how they go together. Other than that, I did like some of the outfits. Thank for the video! It’s always inspiring!
I like this video and analysis. I agree that most are hits but some are misses. Grey and brown both come in warm and cool tones. For the combos you don’t like -brown jacket/grey pants- it would work better if they are both cool or both warm. You’ve chosen a cool grey and a warm brown. It might be the same with the navy black combos you tried. Although usually cool- black isn’t always black black! All in all, very interesting and I would definitely recommend the five suit idea!
I think with tanned suit or sky blue suit can work with a black check shirt but it's amazing on how you are explaining that you don't need 75 suit combinations but need less on that number like 20 or 40 combinations can work out with those coloured suits
The last suit wasn't tan, the turtle neck wasn't cream, and the polo wasn't powder blue. How is this at all an accurate test. I'm only a few minutes into the combinations, and of course the navy shirt didn't go with the grey. But do you know what would have? Powder blue, like what was suggested.
Figure out how often you need to wear a suit. If you never wear one with work, still own 1-2 for weddings, funerals, interviews and others. If you sometimes wear one, get 3-5. If you wear one every day, I'd have roughly 10 to keep in rotation. Those suits in order. 1. Navy or charcoal 2. The 1 choice you didnt get 3. Black 4. Dark brown 5. Medium gray 6. Medium brown 7. True blue 8. Light gray 9. Tan 10. A tuxedo. Shirts: White Off white Light blue White/light blue fine stripes White/light blue fine checks With all the accessories (ties, shoes, belts, etc) You'd be entirely taken care of if you did this for at least a year. The only thing that I'd advise against wearing together on this list is choosing not to match a plain white dress shirt with the black suit, and obviously the tuxedo would need its own shirt and bow. Yeah. My two cents.
Great detail and explanation. Thankyou also for that intro and giving credit where it’s due. Amazing looks! You pulled off really well, and sure that will help plenty of young men that don’t get this lesson at home. Thankyou
ngl, of all the ones you showed, that brown one is my favorite. Navy is second Black I feel is reserved for certain events, not an every day suit for me Great video, nice to see this in something more than a short/TikTok video
Demetrious Levi did a really great video on this concept a while back. It can be done, but I disagree with Steve's choice of colors. I think the shades of the colors Marcel choose didn't do any favors either, as they don't play well together. I personally don't own a single suit, though I would like to eventually. I work in a business setting and I prefer a more dressed up aesthetic by default, but with 3 jackets, a pretty decent selection of (cheaply acquired, thrifted) high waisted pleated trousers, and a few shirts, I've definitely been able to satisfy both my office's dress code and and my stylistic cravings.
Great video and you did great. Ever since I started my style journey, I have kept hearing about versatility. Get this many shirts, shoes, pants, and jackets and they will all work together, which I have always disagreed with. You can't make everything work with everything. This video/experiment proves that. Not the most scientific one, but good enough. P.S. I probably would ditch the navy quarter zip altogether since it seems like the second thing that ruins the outfits after the black colour of the double-breasted suit.
Capsule wardrobes are a great idea, but I think the overall proposl is just silly. First, practically nobody needs a black suit (outside of specialty careers like bodyguards or undertakers, or perhaps if you have extremely light skin and dark hair). If you need to wear suits all the time in your work life, you'll need to wear them together. And if you don't, there are much better things to own for a given budget and closet size than five suits in five colors. For the price/space of five suits and six dress shirts, there's so much ground you can cover to be well-dressed for many occasions: patterned shirts, summer-material tailoring, dedicated sport coats, and especially casualwear jackets.
Your liberties taken in shirt changes contributed to fewer options. All the shirts needed to be similar for similar results. But this is educational because some combinations technically work but aren't advisable.
I’ll go with Steve Harvey’s advice. I personally wear ties with all of my suits, not with sweaters, turtlenecks, tank tops, whatever. To each their own.
Black and tan are colors that suit very few light-skinned people. Choosing the colors should be based on your complexion, and if it is warmer or cooler toned. Black and white are too harsh for your color complexion. You have very few contrasts in your complexion, therefore you struggle to combine black. Navy is better for you, and middle blue might even be better. I am also not sure if this fit flatters your body shape the most. If you want to look your best and are supposed to be very presentable, take a color analysis into consideration. It's worth it.
Nice content. I think the trick when applying combos is to always make sure the overlapping layers are always darker than the underlaying, such as the shirt. So whatever's in direct contact with the skin should preferably be a lighter shade. Whatever goes over that should be slightly darker by default. It's a little something i learned from the @askokey youtube channel.
Steve Harvey is right, but he needed to add a couple of corollaries. Because this won't work for suits in different weaves and fabrics. What he should have added is: 1) Get a charcoal suit instead of black, 2) Get all suits in the same fabric and weave, e.g. solid or tic weave wool, 3) Choose a white, a light gray, and a baby blue button-down shirt. Shirts in these colors should not clash with most skin complexions - no one has skin complexion that is white, gray, or blue.
I actually really like the combo at 11:54 (black top, white shirt, gray pants). Definitely a bit "out there" but I think I wouldn't say it looks messy - one of my favorite looks from the video tbh. I really like this video concept though
It is actually a classic outfit, this guy doesn’t know much about men’s fashion and it shows. Gentlemen icons like Frank Sinatra and Bing Cosby have worn that outfit and it looks amazing. I have worn it and it works great (looks classy with a white pocket square)
I love any video on suiting, the only true men's style constraint. Some of these don't work at all for me and Steve's take on the 75 isn't really workable if you want to maintain a stylish look. Some combinations could be saved with the right shoe but many I would never wear. Great video though Mr Dapper, as always👍
Great video I appreciate the additions and your why but now it isn’t what Steve was talking about at all. It was for budget friendly if you need to start a suit assortment the 5 is a go to, due to the fact that suits so expensive. Different will try a few of your suggestions for the upcoming season 👍🏾
wow so great work helping alot as always your channel is so important and really effect my style just followed you one 2 years ago and the impact was noticable for every one
So personally I thought that the Gray, tan and Brown that you picked to me just all looked like different shades of Gray. Also I think personally I'm more of the button-up shirt with a suit jacket fan I think that more like polos and turtlenecks are better paired with dress pants with maybe a nice sweater over the top instead of a full blazer. I think if you're gonna wear a full blazer personally a button-up looks best, I think solid colors look really nice for your button-ups, though patterns can be done if the pattern is carefully selected. Also I personally think that if you're gonna go with a blazer and a button-up you should have a tie with it if you don't want to button the top button and just wear the shirt with no tie I think that you're better off going with some kind of other nice jacket rather than a blazer like a denim jacket or a leather jacket, still with the nice dress pants. I wore this kind of ensemble a few days ago I put on some nice black Calvin Klein pants with black dress shoes and a black belt and then I just put on a white button-up with a gray denim jacket. But note that this sort of ensemble without the tie and with a different jacket other than a blazer is more of a business casual and not a nice full suit. And then most recently I wore just a standard gray suit that I picked up just at a local thrift shop with a white button-up a blue and black stripe to tie that was my grandfather's and a nice kind of blue black and maybe like a lighter blue and maybe some gold inlays I don't remember exactly what it looks like pocket square that was also my grandfather's and then I wore a black trench coat over it, with of course black dress shoes in a black belt. I think this next sabbath for church I'd like to wear my gray suit but this time with a red tie that I have it's kind of a red and black striped tie. I'm toying around with the idea of tying the Eldridge knot for that, but I may just go with the full Windsor like I have been doing, I really don't like the asymmetrical knots I prefer the symmetrical ones. Keep in mind these are personal ideas strategies rules that I've kind of been toying with from my own wardrobe recently, And some things that work for me aren't gonna work for other people for example I can't really pull off really dark purples as much as people with darker skin tones can that's just something I've had to realize even though I've not had a purple shirt in a long time, and the last time that I did it was more a lighter purple which I think I could pull off a little bit better, I just know based off seeing other people wearing darker shirts that purple works really well with people that are more like of African descent then people with lighter skin like me who originate from mostly scandinavian descent.
I was telling people this when the video circulated, glad you see you proved it. When you own and wear as many suits as I do I've no idea why people presume to take video talk over proven facts
My math might be off but I got over 75 combinations...Solid (5) x 3 =15; shirts; 1 jacket × 4 pants x 3 shirts =12 x 5 jackets = 60...I would add a French blue shirt and a pink shirt.
I would say skip the black suit entirely and grab a dark charcoal suit instead. You immediately unlock way more useability. Don't even buy a black suit until you are going to an event that specifically requests black.
So...I really live all the work you put into this video. I think most of the combinations were pretty fly actually. I love the substitution of the tan turtleneck. However, I must say that you didn't actually follow the directions given. I think you could have accounted for complexion by finding shades of each that worked with your skintone. The brown suit was not brown at all. The Greay suit could have been a different shade of gray. The light blue shirt would have been amazing instead of the navy. At least it could have been a navy buttondown shirt. All in all, I think you would have gotten 75 combos that worked if you followed a bit more closely, but you definitely proved that Steve's logic was pretty sound.
I don't remember my dad going to a funeral in any other than a black suit. He was born in 1900. I was born in 1958, and seem to recall that most of the men, as well as the women, were wearing black at funerals. Times have changed, and I'm a woman so this video isn't for my benefit, but I would say that I still found the value of having a basic black suit in my own wardrobe when I was asked to be a pall bearer at the funeral of a friend. I don't know how it might be different for men, but I know a family with four adult sons, and they and their father all wear black suits to funerals.
Thank you for this informative, beautiful and fun video!!! ❤ I will be checking out Suit Supply in the near future, for sure!!! Keep the superb content coming and cheers to you always, spectacular Mr. Marcel!!!!! 😀
I noticed he doesn't wear a belt... when is it ok to use or not use one? For example, I only use a suit for weddings or for work (used to) and always wearing a belt, cause I thought it was supposed to be like that... does it depends on the type of pant or the occasion?
A*** for putting this together, Marcel. I would let go of the black double breast and maybe choose very dark grey or espresso single breast suit instead. Also instead of that quarter zip colour, maybe burgundy or dark chocolate brown? Excellent video
I understand your disagreement with black being the 1st suit to get, but I personally believe that it's the most conservative or safe option because a man with black suit is covered going to interview, wedding, funeral, fancy date night etc. It's the one color that's most practical and every one can look amazing in this color. Navy can read as black and to your point with a more fair skinned man. This might be a better choice for the 1st suit.
😳😂😂... I swear TH-cam has got an exclusive Agent (and highly possible also a real psychic) snitching on me. Liked an excerpt of this on a shorts, in someone's else channel, questioned in my mind (only!) who was he, since there was no referred credit, went back to the main page and there you were, first video, on top... 😵😵💫 Dear Agent, I wish you could work this spot on for other priorities concerning my life. I appreciate them in advance. The same agent - Oh, I am sorry, you can't me afford me. Even in that you're spot on.
A black suit is great if you have many diffrent colored shirts. I'd say a purple, red, bourgoundy, metallic grey, royal blue, absynth green and geometric printed shirt are all great fun matches for a black suit. But if you only have a white shirt, then yeah, you got yourself a look for funerals and a job as a butler.
Harvy was for beginners. You got more defined looks. I all honesty I am beginner so harvy works better. May be some day I get where you are at with selection.
So Steve is right 😂 The thing is: even the ones that didn't work, if the suit and the shirt fit was right and if you add a couple accessories, even though you're not perfect, you'd look better than 98% of the people around you. Thats the win
I agree that not all 75 would work, but the mere fact that you can possibly get about 60 that do is a massive win. I think it’s a great approach from Steve nonetheless, as it’s a great way to maximize your wardrobe.

It depends on what shades of the various colors he says.
which ones wouldn't work?
It didn’t work because he didn’t listen 😂 he went on to do his own thing.

The dark blue zipper polo was not a good trade for a light blue shirt.
Totally..., should have gone for light blue instead
Yeah I was like what??? Powder blue is classic for any skin tone. Guy is silly.
This thing with zip is actually no go at all. Light blue shirt it’s a win in all combinations
The mistake was switching the light blue shirt for the navy zip polo. It made most of the suits look pretty sloppy. The reason Steve Harvey gave those options is because they all work. Great video.
Bingo. Nobody wears a zip up shirt with a suit. It looks idiotic.

TELL ME YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO FOLLOW STEVE HAVRVEY'S DIRECTION WITH STEVE HARVEY'S DIRECTION.

P.S. I probably would ditch the navy quarter zip altogether since it seems like the second thing that ruins the outfits after the black colour of the double-breasted suit.

Holy, the amount of work you put into this is awesome. Thank you so much! And you've earned a subscriber
Capsule wardrobes are a great idea, but I think the overall proposl is just silly. First, practically nobody needs a black suit (outside of specialty careers like bodyguards or undertakers, or perhaps if you have extremely light skin and dark hair). If you need to wear suits all the time in your work life, you'll need to wear them together. And if you don't, there are much better things to own for a given budget and closet size than five suits in five colors. For the price/space of five suits and six dress shirts, there's so much ground you can cover to be well-dressed for many occasions: patterned shirts, summer-material tailoring, dedicated sport coats, and especially casualwear jackets.
Your liberties taken in shirt changes contributed to fewer options. All the shirts needed to be similar for similar results. But this is educational because some combinations technically work but aren't advisable.
just from this video alone I'm subscribing from your dedication to trying all the combinations 👏👏👏 I would not have the patience
I’ll go with Steve Harvey’s advice. I personally wear ties with all of my suits, not with sweaters, turtlenecks, tank tops, whatever. To each their own.
I just love the way you combine the music with the outfits at the end😂 great done!!🙌
The powder blue shirt would have been hella dope on you .
I was looking for this comment I think it would’ve been a win above the navy blue zip polo.
I liked the part where you mentioned the skin tone and color of the fabric, cause sometimes they don't work for me.
The guy you showed wearing the creamed colored shirt is a friend of mine and that was his BR photo shoot. Glad to see he’s getting big exposure.
Black and tan are colors that suit very few light-skinned people. Choosing the colors should be based on your complexion, and if it is warmer or cooler toned. Black and white are too harsh for your color complexion. You have very few contrasts in your complexion, therefore you struggle to combine black. Navy is better for you, and middle blue might even be better. I am also not sure if this fit flatters your body shape the most. If you want to look your best and are supposed to be very presentable, take a color analysis into consideration. It's worth it.
Nice content. I think the trick when applying combos is to always make sure the overlapping layers are always darker than the underlaying, such as the shirt. So whatever's in direct contact with the skin should preferably be a lighter shade. Whatever goes over that should be slightly darker by default. It's a little something i learned from the @askokey youtube channel.
Big thanks for this video. I also agree with ur opinion about black suit. Don’t think its versatile as most people think
A lot of work went into this vid !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! amazing work
Getting some coloured shoes like Tan oxford, navy blue suede loafers....more shoes will make most fit complete. Nice videos
What i love is dark pants, bright jacket and dark shirt
I know I'm colorblind but HOW THE HELL IS THAT A BROWN SUIT?
It looked grey to me. I'm not colourblind. So it's not just you.
Steve Harvey is right, but he needed to add a couple of corollaries. Because this won't work for suits in different weaves and fabrics. What he should have added is:
1) Get a charcoal suit instead of black,
2) Get all suits in the same fabric and weave, e.g. solid or tic weave wool,
3) Choose a white, a light gray, and a baby blue button-down shirt. Shirts in these colors should not clash with most skin complexions - no one has skin complexion that is white, gray, or blue.
I actually really like the combo at 11:54 (black top, white shirt, gray pants). Definitely a bit "out there" but I think I wouldn't say it looks messy - one of my favorite looks from the video tbh. I really like this video concept though
It is actually a classic outfit, this guy doesn’t know much about men’s fashion and it shows. Gentlemen icons like Frank Sinatra and Bing Cosby have worn that outfit and it looks amazing. I have worn it and it works great (looks classy with a white pocket square)
I love any video on suiting, the only true men's style constraint. Some of these don't work at all for me and Steve's take on the 75 isn't really workable if you want to maintain a stylish look. Some combinations could be saved with the right shoe but many I would never wear. Great video though Mr Dapper, as always👍
Wow, you've put so much time and effort into this video! Really inspiring
Great video I appreciate the additions and your why but now it isn’t what Steve was talking about at all. It was for budget friendly if you need to start a suit assortment the 5 is a go to, due to the fact that suits so expensive. Different will try a few of your suggestions for the upcoming season 👍🏾
wow so great work helping alot as always your channel is so important and really effect my style just followed you one 2 years ago and the impact was noticable for every one
So personally I thought that the Gray, tan and Brown that you picked to me just all looked like different shades of Gray. Also I think personally I'm more of the button-up shirt with a suit jacket fan I think that more like polos and turtlenecks are better paired with dress pants with maybe a nice sweater over the top instead of a full blazer. I think if you're gonna wear a full blazer personally a button-up looks best, I think solid colors look really nice for your button-ups, though patterns can be done if the pattern is carefully selected. Also I personally think that if you're gonna go with a blazer and a button-up you should have a tie with it if you don't want to button the top button and just wear the shirt with no tie I think that you're better off going with some kind of other nice jacket rather than a blazer like a denim jacket or a leather jacket, still with the nice dress pants. I wore this kind of ensemble a few days ago I put on some nice black Calvin Klein pants with black dress shoes and a black belt and then I just put on a white button-up with a gray denim jacket. But note that this sort of ensemble without the tie and with a different jacket other than a blazer is more of a business casual and not a nice full suit. And then most recently I wore just a standard gray suit that I picked up just at a local thrift shop with a white button-up a blue and black stripe to tie that was my grandfather's and a nice kind of blue black and maybe like a lighter blue and maybe some gold inlays I don't remember exactly what it looks like pocket square that was also my grandfather's and then I wore a black trench coat over it, with of course black dress shoes in a black belt. I think this next sabbath for church I'd like to wear my gray suit but this time with a red tie that I have it's kind of a red and black striped tie. I'm toying around with the idea of tying the Eldridge knot for that, but I may just go with the full Windsor like I have been doing, I really don't like the asymmetrical knots I prefer the symmetrical ones. Keep in mind these are personal ideas strategies rules that I've kind of been toying with from my own wardrobe recently, And some things that work for me aren't gonna work for other people for example I can't really pull off really dark purples as much as people with darker skin tones can that's just something I've had to realize even though I've not had a purple shirt in a long time, and the last time that I did it was more a lighter purple which I think I could pull off a little bit better, I just know based off seeing other people wearing darker shirts that purple works really well with people that are more like of African descent then people with lighter skin like me who originate from mostly scandinavian descent.
Powder blue shirt or a little dark blue shirt with blue tie on a grey suit looks very good...
I was telling people this when the video circulated, glad you see you proved it. When you own and wear as many suits as I do I've no idea why people presume to take video talk over proven facts
Steve Harvey been wearing suits for ages, lol. He also made it a point to test textures and prints. He didn’t even follow the advice in the OG video 😂
It's so wonderful to see that one idea from Steve Harvey gave rise to this amazing video.
Oooh this is a great video man. I feel a few outfits dont work too well, but nonetheless, even getting around 50 outfits is a major win.
Thank you for the hours and hours of work this took
My math might be off but I got over 75 combinations...Solid (5) x 3 =15; shirts; 1 jacket × 4 pants x 3 shirts =12 x 5 jackets = 60...I would add a French blue shirt and a pink shirt.
The colors make the difference!!
I would say skip the black suit entirely and grab a dark charcoal suit instead. You immediately unlock way more useability. Don't even buy a black suit until you are going to an event that specifically requests black.
You are so right being Dark skinned black comes first for us but you knocked it out of the park
May I conveniently ask if you incorporate pocket squares with your selections!? I think hang one would be pleasing to the eyes!
The one absolutely amazing thing that only a few noticed, was that he did all of these combinations with only two pairs of boots.
So...I really live all the work you put into this video. I think most of the combinations were pretty fly actually. I love the substitution of the tan turtleneck. However, I must say that you didn't actually follow the directions given. I think you could have accounted for complexion by finding shades of each that worked with your skintone. The brown suit was not brown at all. The Greay suit could have been a different shade of gray. The light blue shirt would have been amazing instead of the navy. At least it could have been a navy buttondown shirt. All in all, I think you would have gotten 75 combos that worked if you followed a bit more closely, but you definitely proved that Steve's logic was pretty sound.
Lot of love for your efforts bro! Yours videos are always on point.
I don't remember my dad going to a funeral in any other than a black suit. He was born in 1900. I was born in 1958, and seem to recall that most of the men, as well as the women, were wearing black at funerals. Times have changed, and I'm a woman so this video isn't for my benefit, but I would say that I still found the value of having a basic black suit in my own wardrobe when I was asked to be a pall bearer at the funeral of a friend. I don't know how it might be different for men, but I know a family with four adult sons, and they and their father all wear black suits to funerals.
Great video, may I ask which brand is your suit? Thanks
That`s a HUGE project! Thanks for your sharing!
Thank you for this video it really puts it all together
One of your best videos ever. Thanks for putting so much time & effort, creating this video.🔥❤
i gree !!! sorry but copy your comment hehe
Great content, thank you so very much! I’m about to buy clothes for work and this helped a lot!
Thank you for this informative, beautiful and fun video!!! ❤ I will be checking out Suit Supply in the near future, for sure!!! Keep the superb content coming and cheers to you always, spectacular Mr. Marcel!!!!! 😀
All are ok and good but some combinations are immaculate. So yo conclude, we can say that yes u can do so much outfit shuffling upto maybe 30 or more
Thanks for that Suit Supply look builder tip 🔥
I noticed he doesn't wear a belt... when is it ok to use or not use one? For example, I only use a suit for weddings or for work (used to) and always wearing a belt, cause I thought it was supposed to be like that... does it depends on the type of pant or the occasion?
Always wear a belt to match your shoes
Love this!! Always thinking of new ways to elevate my husband's wardrobe
A*** for putting this together, Marcel. I would let go of the black double breast and maybe choose very dark grey or espresso single breast suit instead. Also instead of that quarter zip colour, maybe burgundy or dark chocolate brown? Excellent video
I can't get enough of you! You make everything look great!
I understand your disagreement with black being the 1st suit to get, but I personally believe that it's the most conservative or safe option because a man with black suit is covered going to interview, wedding, funeral, fancy date night etc. It's the one color that's most practical and every one can look amazing in this color. Navy can read as black and to your point with a more fair skinned man. This might be a better choice for the 1st suit.
😳😂😂... I swear TH-cam has got an exclusive Agent (and highly possible also a real psychic) snitching on me.
Liked an excerpt of this on a shorts, in someone's else channel, questioned in my mind (only!) who was he, since there was no referred credit, went back to the main page and there you were, first video, on top... 😵😵💫
Dear Agent, I wish you could work this spot on for other priorities concerning my life. I appreciate them in advance.
The same agent - Oh, I am sorry, you can't me afford me.
Even in that you're spot on.
Wait that’s crazy haha
Appreciate the effort you put into this video. Loved it! 🔥❤️
Bro to be honest you look good on all of them, even the ones that work the least. Definitely a good video and thanks for the explanation
A black suit is great if you have many diffrent colored shirts. I'd say a purple, red, bourgoundy, metallic grey, royal blue, absynth green and geometric printed shirt are all great fun matches for a black suit.
But if you only have a white shirt, then yeah, you got yourself a look for funerals and a job as a butler.
Steve can dress, that green outfit you showed😮😮 idk about the leather blue.. But the rest yes
Loved this video. Thanks, Mr. Floruss!
Looks nice, simple, clean, fresh, and neat. 👍 Uncomplicated
Do a video with the colors Steve suggested disregard your skin tone and let's see what that looks like.
Harvy was for beginners. You got more defined looks. I all honesty I am beginner so harvy works better. May be some day I get where you are at with selection.
Such a hardworking man he is❤
Hello, great work, could you please suggest for brown skin tone.
Thank you so much
7:02 the navy suit and white shirt brown tie combo was counted twice
So Steve is right 😂 The thing is: even the ones that didn't work, if the suit and the shirt fit was right and if you add a couple accessories, even though you're not perfect, you'd look better than 98% of the people around you. Thats the win
