Want to say thank you for the literal DOZENS of photos you give to accompany your advice. I know it takes more time to edit, but it makes your channel stand out from all the rest. Thank you!
1. for shorts - keep your sneaker choice simple (minimal eg: stan smith or penny loafers). wear no-show socks. 2. for chinos - driving mocassins (great for business casual looks), leather loafers/ dress shoes (formal wear), low-top sneakers (casual), boots (for spring). 3. for jeans - wear anything basically. if you combine jeans + boots, best if you wear skinny/slim fit. 4. dress pants. if you wear dress pants for formal event, wear classic dress shoes. for casual, just like above points. to summarize, know where you're going (casual/formal), choose pants first then pick your shoes. for casual, have fun pairing them. for formal, best wear leather shoes. at this point just write the timeline man *sigh 😮💨
I've been on the fence about running shoes and jeans since i've seen several videos now advising against it and can never understand why since it is all I see when I go out. Glad I can finally rock this look without feeling self conscious about it.
One of the best channels to subscribe to, I am already building a wardrobe for 2023, from work style, to casual to evnt style, all thanks to you and the great channel, as first impressions are lasting impressions and this advice does help in many areas 👍
I believe that women first look at a man’s shoes because they looking for stability. If a man’s shoes are dirty and unkept then she will pass, as this may indicate that the man is unstable (personally and financially). As a 53 year old man, I’m starting to make big changes to my style and wardrobe. This video help a lot. Thanks!!!
I totally agree. The photos add another dimension to the videos. But, I wish you would show them a little longer. They flash on the screen on are gone way too soon. I find that I constantly have to stop the video and rewind.
Hey Ashley, Heres my challenge. How would you dress a rapper like Post Malone, Lil Pump, Migos and such? And what can you say about Jerry Lorenzo’s way of fashion?
+10 points for pointing out espadrilles, -100 points for doing running shoes recommendations 😱! Great video, though - keep up the good work, fair lady!
I have 2 pairs of white trainers, one bluewhite NB trainers, ankle black shoes, black elegant trainers, chelsea boots for winter and autumn - black, gray, brown, dark brown + business shoes dark brown with strap and high boots with laces
I was told to match my shoes ! I feel I’ve been doing a pretty good job , most of the time. But now , I have to match them with pants too !? First I’ll get some pants then start matching .
I wear shorts for a reason. Because summers here in Ukraine are quite extreme and we usually have like 30-35 C in the shade since May till October, inclusive. That is why I hate summer. And of course sandals are the only option. I would literally die in sneakers. So I don't care much whether you like my feet or not))
Ain't no women gonna tell me not to wear sandals or flip flops in the summer! We aren't walking into a club with them on, but perfect for running errands.
For some reason the shoes I wear must look good to my eye but only from my vantage point looking down on them. Any other angle from a mirror or whatever doesn't matter. Its gotta look right as I peer down upon them. Or it's a no go.
@ Ashley. Thank you for the great content. I'm finding your advice and tips very helpful in my upgrading my looks. One question thou. I know you say 'No Black ' Chinos. However my wardrobe consists of black, black and more black..that's my personality and not a fan of bright or lighter colors. ( you can say I'm a bit of a corporate goth style of dresser, black suits with black shirts and black ties and undercoats with various textures to provide some contrast and shading). What would you recommend shoes wise say for a night out clubbing, still look dressed down and casual but with the dark aspect I love?
Might be your personality but the black/goth look definitely doesn’t look good. Has an immaturity to it. Smart black obviously looks good on occasions but doesn’t work day in day out.
and here i was looking to buy a pair carmina navy single-cut oxfords for my wedding... which would probably be paired with a dark grey with a bit of a bluish tint 3 piece suit (But the vest would most likely be a different color) yelp!
What are your thoughts on the hybrid shoe that combines dress show with a sneaker. Wont name the main company but Im sure youre aware of them. Even I can tell these hybrids work well with casual and biz casual outfits. But do you think they go with a suit (assuming color coordinated)? Also, for weekend casual or biz casual, what are your thoughts on monochromatic look. Ex, pairing a navy/white shoe with navy pant, or gray/white shoe with gray pant? Thanks.
Definitely don’t try to “dress up” these types shoes by wearing them with a suit. It’ll look sloppy. Instead, let them add a dressy flair to an otherwise smart casual outfit.
@@MensFashioner pass on suit only or with anything? because I see them all over and I live in LA area and see them with tech company employees to conservative corporations.
I’m old school and the game is all changed now bc back in my days, we used to try to look different from everyone else and get shoe styles no one else has to avoid looking like everyone else. But now it seems there a look everyone shoots for and that find and all, but coming from my gen (boomer) it kind of kills the individuality. It’s kind of everyone shopping at Banana Republic or J Crew and everyone coming out looking the same. Anyway, just getting back into dressing up and want to give my sneaker wear all the time a break.
Thanks dear. I have skiny legs, no matter what I do at the gym. What would be better, to wear tight or loose pants? Perhaps you can do a video for bodys which are not so simetrical :)
Get pants that fit. I'm a thin guy myself and have put on a lot of weight over the last year but I still wear tapered jeans and slim fit chinos because those are the fits for myself.
Hi, on a semi formal occasion I'm wearing black blazer with cream/light grayish color dress pants, can you suggest, which color.. (black or brown shoes) and shirt to go with them?
Ashley what about budget friendly alternative to wool pants like some of my dress pants from zara. They are 65% polyester 5% elastane and 30% viscoze. Ok or no no zone? They are medium heavy and work well in more hotter days but they are not so thick like some wool pants
imitation polyester pants can be fine. See how they feel to you (I have suits from the same maker/similar materials = totally different feels). Also, try flannel wool or brushed cotton pants for a different look and feel. Brushed cotton can be inexpensive.
what is the different between chinos and uniqlo ultra strech skinny fot coloured jeans? Can we pull the same look with those as i see its pretty much identical.
Hey Ashley, It's the attack of the crocs (pun intended). What did them crocs do to you 😃 I mma cop me a pair of them Du/er. And shout-out to your video videographer
Hey Ash! Talking of matching I wore kahki chinos and a khaki bomber but didnt feel comfortable it looked more like a tracksuit!!? Should i always wear different colour tops to bottoms unless its a suit??
Ashley! Where can I buy a pair of espadrilles like the ones you have featured here in the video....? And I swear that if you dont get back to me I will wear sandals everyday this summer.... and tell everyone YOU told me to wear them! lol kidding....
What did she call the substitute for sandals? It sounded like she said "extrajoes" but a lot of googling 'casual men's slip-ons didn't produce any names of shoes that came close to that.
@@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou Aah, okay...thank you. I thought espadrilles were women's sandals. I guess it's only men's toes that no one wants to see...lol
@@jeffreygleaves2931 There's definitely a double standard. That said, women do tend to take better care of their feet and toes than men, but there are certainly exceptions. The real double standard that annoys me is that a man would be called "misogynistic" for accurately pointing out that nobody wants to see fat women's muffin tops and thighs.
Have to disagree with most of the things in this vid. Especially regarding black chinos. The easiest color to pull off with the right upper and the mute color creates a visually leaner silhouette.
Since when has style ever been about restrictions and censorship? Trying to ban them will only make them the symbolic attire of the rebellious counter-culture.
Good stuff, but (a) black dress shoes can pair quite well with navy suits and (b) "no black chinos" is a joke, right? Black chinos are an extremely versatile piece, and they no more signify that you're a waiter than flannel shirts signify that you're a lumberjack.
Hey, Ashley. Great content. I have seen two videos this week where you call a pair of brown Derby (or Blucher) Brogues by the name of Oxfords. Technically, this is incorrect. Love your videos, otherwise.
E. Dean Fowlkes thanks for mentioning. As I’m sure Ashley knows there’s a world of difference between Oxfords and Derby/Bluchers. I think it’s time for a whole new video explaining the difference. And what makes a quality dress shoe vs the not-so-good ones. There are plenty of other channels that spell it out, but not a bad idea for Ashley to focus on that topic, too.
This is the second video of seen where she references "Oxfords" and then the primary picture she references are derbys. I'm starting to think she doesn't know the difference.

Ashley, I hope you get a career in television, your a natural in front of the camera.
Television is for old people. I hope she stays on TH-cam, where she'll reach far more people and probably make more money.
Have been on a few shows over the years and get pitched them periodically. Complete waste of time, tbh.
I been waiting to go with style but I been hesitant but looks more professional

Loved it, Ash! But, here's a question (for anyone)....regarding the trucker jacket...popped collar or no popped collar?
For some reason the shoes I wear must look good to my eye but only from my vantage point looking down on them. Any other angle from a mirror or whatever doesn't matter. Its gotta look right as I peer down upon them. Or it's a no go.
Please do a short video on sunglasses 😎

Best video yet. Can you do a similar video like this with pairing men’s tops with pants & footwear? Thanks.
Lots of awesome tips!
I was wondering, have you ever style anyone that is either bow legged or knocked legged? Any tips on styling them?
Level up your style with The Essentials App. Start your free trial: mfer.link/oi/
I wonder what your thoughts are on the engineer boots look. Think James Dean and Marlon Brando.
Hie Ash, i thought you would mention one of the most underrated classic pants, corduroy pants. What are the best shoe styles to pair them with?
We need more of you in the world of fashion.

If you like how it looks, then go for it. As long as you're being intentional about your style, you can't really go "wrong". It's all subjective.
Definitely don’t try to “dress up” these types shoes by wearing them with a suit. It’ll look sloppy. Instead, let them add a dressy flair to an otherwise smart casual outfit.
Hard pass 100% of the time. Discussed many, many times on my private forum.
@@MensFashioner pass on suit only or with anything? because I see them all over and I live in LA area and see them with tech company employees to conservative corporations.
100% of the time = for anything.

Hey, often you say "Oxfords" while we can see "derby"
Love the video! Thank you Ashley! I really want to do the dress shoes and jeans look and I appreciate the outfit inspirations :)
04:36 Derby maybe?!
💕 Ashley Weston.
Jeans and running/workout shoes, I'm not sold. Sneakers look so much better.
My partner has looked at a lot of your videos and they all feature slimmer men!
So black shoes with navy blue pants is a no go?
Clearly to understand with pictures example.
Still trying to get an answer to a simple question, are dockers considered chinos or are they a category all by themselves?
Hi, on a semi formal occasion I'm wearing black blazer with cream/light grayish color dress pants, can you suggest, which color.. (black or brown shoes) and shirt to go with them?
What was the name of the summer shoes you recommended in place of the sandals that started with an “e”?
espadrille shoes, if you google without putting "mens" in the search youll get a bunch of weird women's sandals.
Ashley what about budget friendly alternative to wool pants like some of my dress pants from zara. They are 65% polyester 5% elastane and 30% viscoze. Ok or no no zone? They are medium heavy and work well in more hotter days but they are not so thick like some wool pants

can dark wash denim work with black leather chelseas?
what about navy shoes , like oxfords
thnk you so much ashley
Hey Ashley, It's the attack of the crocs (pun intended). What did them crocs do to you 😃 I mma cop me a pair of them Du/er. And shout-out to your video videographer
10:57
Lmao... He looks so comfortable.
Great video and I miss your sidekick being in the video with you 👍
What if you have a dark navy suit? I’ve heard you should wear black shoes and never brown shoes…
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO Brilliant video
C'mon Ashley, a nice dress sandal looks good with shorts (or pants) .. and a heck of a lot cooler than hot shoes
Quick question:
Charcoal Chinos = black Chinos?
no , charcoal its the most dark grey colour. Its way more versatile than black
N chino's in the house. Linen, for sure, its hot as Hell in Phoenix.
Hey Ash! Talking of matching I wore kahki chinos and a khaki bomber but didnt feel comfortable it looked more like a tracksuit!!? Should i always wear different colour tops to bottoms unless its a suit??
Yes
Yes!
You can definitely go for monocromatic outfit, but it's easier to use different shades between the bottom and the top
How about when it is raining out?
Gore-Tex boots.
Ashley! Where can I buy a pair of espadrilles like the ones you have featured here in the video....? And I swear that if you dont get back to me I will wear sandals everyday this summer.... and tell everyone YOU told me to wear them! lol kidding....
Love your channel, but a LOT of men's fashion adivsors are fine with loafers or dress shoes with shorts!
What did she call the substitute for sandals? It sounded like she said "extrajoes" but a lot of googling 'casual men's slip-ons didn't produce any names of shoes that came close to that.

Ashley defines the expression "terminally cute".
Hey you! 👋
So if your shoes are supposed match your belt, is there any company that makes both of them?
Allen Edmonds makes belts in their most common shoe colors such as Walnut, Chili, etc. Some others do as well.
Shoes and belt don't need to match; they should just complement each other. Makes your outfit more interesting that way.
I feel that not all dress shoe style go with every suit. Some shoes look bulky with slim fit suits and vise versa.
Terrific ! 😊
Love the video, can we cover hats next?? i been looking at a really cool Sacai bucket cap but my S/O is highly against it
Thanks
I feel like high top sneakers and short work with tall people. Shorter like 5.9 tend to make guys look shorter.
taking advice on fashion from someone who looks unwell , stonks
Thank you!

What about white sneakers for older men?
She’s said in the past that is fine.
Should men over 45 wear chino shorts?🇨🇦
I am 50 ,and I look amazing on chinos ...go ahead
Can a skinny guy pull of straight cut jeans?
No black chinos? Surely theyre ok
Maybe you could sell t-shirts on your channel that say "Ban white socks" or "No Crocs!!!"
Since when has style ever been about restrictions and censorship? Trying to ban them will only make them the symbolic attire of the rebellious counter-culture.

Which is worse crocks or mullets? how about crollets :-()
I already bought brown loafers with black pants let's see am I right!!!

This is the second video of seen where she references "Oxfords" and then the primary picture she references are derbys. I'm starting to think she doesn't know the difference.
No running shoes with jeans for me.
Esperjoes? What’s the spelling on those shoes?
Espadrille. Had to do some serious googling to find the answer to that one lol
I'm not matching my shoes to my pants. But then again I'm English so pants mean something entirely different 😄
Wait what no chelsea boots on suits? That is like my go to? Ahhh shit!
HiTops and short for me is a big No No.
Espadrilles are a definite no, they are girl shoes.
exactly 💯! I'll pass.😂😂😂
Not into short sleeve shirts or shorts
