Re: monochromatic outfits I see lots of men and women at my office job wearing the black dress shirt + black trousers combo, and to me it just makes you look like a waiter.
1. When in doubt of an event's dress code, overdress a little. 2. Ties are for salesmen. Wear a bowtie instead. 3. Big logos make it look you are trying to brag that you can afford the brand, which means you can't.
Well reasoned and well produced. Thanks, man. 1 - Pocket squares. Why? Are we trying to be English? 2 - Shirt stays. Right on. And thanks for the link. 3 - Events. Tough call. Since the 90s, it's been all too easy to be overdressed. I'd rather show up that way than under. And there's no even other than pool or beach where anyone sees a man's feet. 4 - Logos. You are absolutely correct. Glasses are particularly gaudy on glasses. No wealthy man ever shows a logo. 5 - Sandals. See #3. The exception: Huaraches, such as the excellent ones from Chamula. 6 - Shoes. There is no such thing as dress sneakers. I don't care what color they are. 7 - Socks. There is no such thing as no-show dress socks. Plus, no man over thirty has ankles worth seeing. 8 - Jewelry. Classic = subtle watch, wedding ring, cuff links, and maybe a class ring if you went to a service academy or a meaningful signet ring. That's all.
Pocket squares can add a bit of personality and be an additional change to a suit jacket that doesn’t change. The way it is folded, colour, print, fabric, does it coordinate or match the tie? Formal, informal and looks better than paper napkin or whatever else might sit wrong in that pocket.
Damn shirt stays!! I wore the stirrup joints when I was an Army instructor at a DOD school in Florida and that shit popped as I was working the room during a lesson...NOT A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE!!! LOL!!
Interesting thought on the tie and pocket square. I don’t personally wear a pocket square myself, but I know some who do. Your choice at the end is not one that would have made. I didn’t think they go together, but personal preference is a must.
I was shopping at the JCrew outlet yesterday , (I like some of their stuff.) when I saw a man wearing crocs with socks, jean shorts with a cowboy belt buckle, a sleeveless t shirt and a bucket hat. I said to my wife, "Man does that guy need some new clothes!"There are some extremely poor dressed men out there for sure, I'm thankful that my wife has good taste in clothes. enjoyed the video, some great tips there. carry on!
I love your content you even help me look very professional at work I use your methods on my security uniform and it's gotten me noticed and premonitions and ladies really take the time to compliment me on my uniform giving its a security officer uniform but when I wear a more formal look your tips really makes my appearance look very good THANK YOU
Agreed 💯 I even remove the labels from my Levis except for the little red tag but that big brown tag on the waist has to go. Everything else is either label free or tiny like you mentioned but definitely not anything huge. I even remove the dealership markings from my vehicles because they aren’t paying me to advertise for them.
This is your opinion, if a person likes what they are wearing then that’s perfect for them it doesn’t make them a poorly dressed person. I like to wear retro jordans and I love to color coordinate and I love it, it dosent mean I’m a poorly dressed man
Haha, I refuse to give in to ageism like that. If you aren't comfortable then you're doing the right thing but I would never prioritize social expectations over something I genuinely like
I live in graphic tees in my daily life. Mostly 80s jank. There's nothing wrong with that. I do kinda like the graphic tee with coat and jeans look, but I could never be confident enough to pull it off.
Shirt stays in Y style are great because it does keep the shirt in and the socks up! I will be looking at the other types as I didn't know anyone made that type. Also have a stock of collar stays, collar braces and even armbands. Unless you are the perfect man, your arms aren't the same length. Armbands allow you to adjust for that if your tailor doesn't (which they should!) These little beauties allow you to get away with sleeves that are just slightly too long by holding the excess farther up the upper arm and getting a perfect fall at the wrist. Used these in the service when we got new shirts in for dog and pony shows and no time for tailoring. If you aren't removing your jacket, nobody will know! Always be aware of what is required for any event. Meet (or exceed) what is expected but keep it in context. Good shoes are ones that have replaceable parts, like heels, and a solid sole. If yours don't, then invest in some metal cleats to nail on the wear points. Shoes are expensive so make them last! Great video as always Antonio!
attitude is what makes ANY of this work. carry yourself with assurance and these tips do give many helpful pointers for those unaware. this is a SERVICE lol 5:16
00:00👔 Mismatched patterns and colors in outfits can make a man look chaotic and poorly dressed. Start with classic patterns and limit to two patterns per outfit. 01:50👖 Poorly fitting shirts that create a muffin top effect detract from a polished appearance. Consider using shirt stays for a neat, tucked-in look throughout the day. 05:02🎩 Lack of awareness of appropriate dress codes for different events can lead to being underdressed or overdressed, which affects overall presentation. 06:39🏈 Wearing sports jerseys outside of sports settings can appear lazy or overly casual, not suitable for most day-to-day occasions. 07:16🩴 Mixing sandals with dressier clothing or socks is generally considered a fashion faux pas, impacting overall style negatively.
I am always dressed black, apart from different textures and layers. I am tall and athletic and quite fair skinned and I love the contrast, it is supposed to be a bit extreme on purpose. I always wear the same things, it's my way of telling the world that I do what I want and don't give a damn, unless it's some formal or festive event where it would be extremely rude not to adhere to the code.
I have a pair of white/cream color dress socks. They aren’t like the white socks in a 12pk at Walmart. Would those be fine to wear with certain outfits?
Next time you're in the market for trousers, try and buy higher waisted trousers and make sure to have them fitted and you will not need to worry about your shirt.
The concept of the thigh strap shirt stays strikes my interest. I wonder though what the experience is when preparing to sit on the toilet. Is it tedious? can anyone share their experience? I know with classic shirt stays, the wearer has to unclip them from the rear of the shirt, pull down his briefs, then sit while laying the rear straps across the lap. Then reverse those steps when finished.
"Fashion changes, but style endures." This timeless quote reminds us that while fashion is transient, style is eternal. Fashion is fleeting; it changes season to season. Style, on the other hand, is timeless. It evolves with you but remains fundamentally yours.
The only people who can afford not to care what anyone thinks are the people who are so wealthy that they're the ones other people want to impress, or at least influence in a positive way. The rest of us will always need to influence someone positively in our direction until we die. If you look like you don't care about your appearance, people will either think that you're sick or that you're mentally ill.
I don't always agree with everything on this channel. But this video has a lot of common sense advice. You are the first style person I've seen who approves of sandals as a casual outfit choice. I grew up in the 1970s and sandals were my summer footwear. I still wear them with shorts and a T-shirt on hot days. I agree, socks with sandals don't make sense. The very purpose of sandals is to keep your feet cool by letting the heat escape. Socks insulate your feet. I was in the Army for almost 5 years but I'd never heard of shirt stays until I started watching style videos. They seem like an extra thing to wear. I just periodically re-tuck my shirt.
Thanks for the reminder on shirt stays. What has been your experience going through airport security, though? I guess if the clips set off the metal detector, you'll have to drop trou?
@@davidclark1545 That's a good question. I guess that depends on the person. For me... yeah, I probably wouldn't care all that much. Give 'em all a show.
the only piece of clothing Im fine with having big logos or the polo style logo spam is boxers. As a matter of fact, I've got quite a bit of polo boxers with the logo pattern and they are full of them :D I like it
Semper Fi brother. I still use shirt stays and blouse my shirt the Marine Corps way. Though when I was in we had the two piece, wrap around the leg shirt stays. Those "Y's" look better. To help maintain my shirt blousing I attach the rear shirt stays to the bloused portion, then wrap the stay around the outside of my leg. For some shirts I'll attach an additional short stay below the belt connecting the bloused portions. This hides the "button pull" below the belt but maintains the desired appearance.
Great video, and thanks for the link and discount for Mr. Shirt Inc. I've been having the problem with my shirt riding up for years. I wish I'd learned about this years ago. I went ahead and ordered the Deluxe Shirt Stay, and looking forward to trying it out.
This is far to complex, just leave it to your Valet to sort out the clothing. One has more important things to consider such as restocking the wine cellar.
Antonio, necessito ayudo por favor!! Three off-topic questions, please indulge me! Getting new sky blue or ink blue suit and wondering if I should get the pants cuffed?? Are cuffs still in? Will brown shoes go with it, or do I need to spend more money on tan/bourbon colored ones (do you like dress boots cap toe vs conventional shoe?)? Last question, Tom Ford Oud Wood…is it too feminine for men?? I’m hearing its longevity is sub-par, so your insight please! I like it but if women are wearing it, not good right?
Been wearing shirt stays for 35 years since my 20 years in the Navy and beyond. I prefer the stirrup to the Y type. Haven’t seen the shorter or big boy version but I think I would like them because they’re similar to the stirrup without having to hide the stirrup inside my socks. Sneakers should be left to gym and casual wear and never worn with suits, it’s beyond tacky. Don’t like skinny trousers or trousers that are too narrow, too baggy, too long, or too short. They should just break over half the top of the shoe and be no less than an inch from bottom of the shoe that meets the heel when standing; not short like your girlfriend’s capris or too long that you’re walking off the back end. They should be full enough that you don’t look like a 12-year-old little boy or so tight they look like yoga pants when wearing them.
Excellent video.Would just like to add this correction: Complementary colors are across the color wheel. Orange complements green, for example. The word is related to completion. Complementary colors are pleasing because they activate a balance of cones (color receptors) in the eye..A color which is "next to" the next section on the color wheel will be displeasing, and very tiring to the eyes. Pink and orange, for example or green and blue. So.for a pleasing look, choose colors from one wedge of the color wheel (shades of blue for example for about 95 per cent of the total and accent with the complement from the opposite side of the color wheel.(Touch of red with a base of blue) You can't 'accent" with a " next to" color. Red with yellow would look.sickening Blue with green can make the viewer feel seasick. These are not complements and you will not receive compliments for these awful combinations. They are very tiring to eyes because they activate the same cones without breaks.
My advice is to wear what you want and ignore people who think they are the experts on what looks good on a man. Just because he thinks he knows what looks good doesn’t mean he does. He is not doing a public service giving his own opinions.
Yet you're here. The beautiful thing about social media is that you can keep scrolling if you don't like something. Plus a few style tips doesn't hurt.
@@icaliver don’t get too busy with the overall outfit when wearing graphic tees or band shirts. Good example would be a black nirvana tee shirt with dark washed/black jeans and a simple sneaker or plain Jordan’s.
What are your thoughts on sneakers without socks worn with too-small suits? I often see this look on the guys on NFL pre game shows who are in their 50s.
You forgot to mention combining sneakers with business suits. This looks so daggy! (although I understand why some people do it-more comfortable when traveling to or from work). When I was in the corporate world, I saw this quite a bit although to be fair, they would change their footwear to something more suitable when in the office.
Some things definitely depend on age/generation. People in my dad’s generation would be triggered by your stripe shirt & checked jacket. People their age follow a strict no “2 different patterns” or 2 of the same like stripe on stripe even if one pattern is significantly more thick etc. whenever my parents see someone on tv mixing patterns they cringe. Now for you & me I think your outfit with the stripe shirt & check jacket looks slick. Kids today refuse to not wear socks with sandals & the socks must be tube socks. They give me 💩 for only wearing no shows or the smallest ankle socks. My biggest pet peeve with the current in-style is how kids tuck their pants legs (especially sweats) into their tube socks. To me it looks like they have a bug infestation in their house or they’re going for a hike and don’t want to get covered with chigger bites. I also hate high cut trouser pant legs bc it looks like their basement flooded or they just walked across a creek.
I'm known for my "bad shirts" I'm not talking the Hawaiian affairs but quality printed house shirts. If I'm wearing one everything else is clean, quality and solid that allows the satire of the shirt to play it's proper role. There's dressing "classic" which I do alot of the time as well, but there's also being able to wear something and people comment "that is horrible but somehow you pull it off" vibe i feel is important to explore. It's not just about what you wear; it is how you wear it!
I love having a well tailored shirt and shirt stays. My only gripe is that it makes carry with a tuckable IWB holster impractical at the very least. Most of the time, if I'm using shirt stays in the first place, it probably means open carry is not a very good option. (I have successfully pulled it off on occasion, you'd be shocked what you can do without anybody really noticing.) I tend to avoid pocket carry most of the time, and again, if I'm not wearing jeans, I don't usually want the weight of a pistol slapping around in my pocket anyway. Anybody here got recommendations to get around this?
Try a smaller gun like a Baretta Bobcat or Tomcat. They fit in cellphone cases and nobody but you will know. I know they don’t have the punch of a larger firearm but you’re not using it everyday and knowing you have something in those occasions when you can’t easily carry your larger gun is what matters. You can almost do the same with a Walther PPK or S&W Bodyguard since they’re .380s but they’re a tight squeeze in the XXL Niteze cellphone case I have with my Bodyguard.
I learned at a young age mens style. I sold suits, slacks and shirts to business age men that couldn’t for the life of you know what coordinates with what. You know what those same rules from all those years ago still apply. Things have relaxed a little but what looks good still looks good. I sometimes cringe at men dressing like boy on a sports team wearing basketball shorts and jerseys at the age of 40. I even noticed that European men think wearing track suit warm ups is styling.
In liberal controlled areas like NorCal where I live many of us dress like this to look poor to avoid the gangs and scammers and gold diggers. If I lived in an area where law and order prevailed and I could carry protection I would dress nice. Simple survival strategy.
You don’t want to look sharp at 3am. Personally i untie my Bow tie to shown that is a real one not those with fake knots. Shirt disheveled buttons untied approachable
The logos...spot on. Versace is one of the worst offenders of this. SO much of what comes from that house has Versace plastered all over it and it does look tacky. Understated is classy.
Facts. Socks and chancletas DON'T go together. I see cocolos do that shit on the train here in NY. Domis too. Watch you get a lotta shit from the plátanos 😂
Can’t dress like this even though I would like too bc as soon as I layer up and move I’ll sweat and be wet from head to socks . Doesn’t matter the weather.
Your shorts should be pressed and come down to the top of your .knees. The only shirts you should wear are a solid colour of either Khaki, Royal Blue, Navy or Bottle green. Legs should be tanned and oiled. Ideally wear trainer socks or white only ankle socks 6 inches above your trainers.
Sir, I have enjoyed every video that I have watched and thank you for the constant entertainment and education. I was thrilled you brought up shirt stays as I find them to be indispensable when tucking anything in.
Random observations and thoughts: Never wear anything with a logo. I ditched all my graphic t-shirts years ago, for I am no longer 20. Sandals should not be worn by men over 25. No one wants to see your feet. Shirt stays are wonderful inventions, been using them for years. Over dress for every occasion. You’ll look good, women will notice, and other men will (should) want to raise their game. Clothing must fit. Find a good tailor or alterations shop. Irons and lint rollers are essential tool for life. Anyone can look like a slob and attempt to justify it. Don’t be that guy.
Isn't all of this purely individual opinion? If I see someone that appears to dress as recommended in this video, I actually think there is something wrong with the person... Like they are needy of approval of others, have no skills, desperate for a job, partner or not actually focusing on real life challenges that we need to address as a society. Perhaps they are excessively externally focused. I personally would not hire such a person - its as if their head is not in the game (the profession they are in) and they are a bad investment as they make bad investments in themselves. Not intending to troll here at all... I do agree wearing sports tops outside of sport events don't look good, but everything else I have an opposite opinion. If people judge you for not wearing fancy clothes, it tells you how shallow they are.
My man is telling guys to limit patterns to two while wearing three patterns (striped shirt, plaid jacket, polka dot pocket square) Not saying that it looks bad, but it definitely points to the pitfalls of trying to establish absolute rules for style.
Most men would dress properly if they just used what Antonio shared on that first minute. I mean, I use those rules all the time. And it's simple BUT you don't look insane. And you can always learn more advance stuff but that one minute will change everything.

Number 7 made me laugh.... I don't even think a 20 year old guy has ankles worth seeing... lol.
Pocket squares...once you start using them you'll understand. Start off simple with a white square and presidential fold.
The pocket square is like a twist of lemon on a nice desert. It has its place and must be mastered if you want the respect you deserve.

Those stays are a form of suspenders. They look silly, frankly. They are almost like what women used to use to keep their stockings up--a girdle.

Logos are a no no. Small logo - RL pony, Lacoste, Hilfiger, they are okay, but giant swoosh, big Gs for Gucci are a no no.
I especially avoid those specific brand labels as well. Their representation is of something generic.
I tend to avoid even those small logos; I find branding and logos offputting and prefer sleek & clean styles.
Agreed 💯 I even remove the labels from my Levis except for the little red tag but that big brown tag on the waist has to go.

@@JohnFourtyTwo I agree with the car dealership logos! Bloody cheek by them!

I live on the beach in Florida, I see this atrocity every day during snowbird season😂
Semper Fi brother. I still use shirt stays and blouse my shirt the Marine Corps way. Though when I was in we had the two piece, wrap around the leg shirt stays. Those "Y's" look better.
To help maintain my shirt blousing I attach the rear shirt stays to the bloused portion, then wrap the stay around the outside of my leg.
For some shirts I'll attach an additional short stay below the belt connecting the bloused portions. This hides the "button pull" below the belt but maintains the desired appearance.
that why there is thing call color theory for matching colors which use people like me who do not natural instinct for match colors.
Great video, and thanks for the link and discount for Mr. Shirt Inc. I've been having the problem with my shirt riding up for years. I wish I'd learned about this years ago. I went ahead and ordered the Deluxe Shirt Stay, and looking forward to trying it out.
You're welcome. Awesome choice!
This video is a service to humanity
Thanks!
Where do I get the Oversized RMRS logo shirt
Who wears shirts and pants in casual daily lives?
Talk about casual wear like T shirts, jeans, polo, shorts, etc
I’ll stick with my bib overalls
This is far to complex, just leave it to your Valet to sort out the clothing. One has more important things to consider such as restocking the wine cellar.
Will shirt-stays help me run faster?
Good video.
Love my double denim suit.
No ties….ever!
Antonio, necessito ayudo por favor!! Three off-topic questions, please indulge me! Getting new sky blue or ink blue suit and wondering if I should get the pants cuffed?? Are cuffs still in? Will brown shoes go with it, or do I need to spend more money on tan/bourbon colored ones (do you like dress boots cap toe vs conventional shoe?)? Last question, Tom Ford Oud Wood…is it too feminine for men?? I’m hearing its longevity is sub-par, so your insight please! I like it but if women are wearing it, not good right?
Been wearing shirt stays for 35 years since my 20 years in the Navy and beyond. I prefer the stirrup to the Y type. Haven’t seen the shorter or big boy version but I think I would like them because they’re similar to the stirrup without having to hide the stirrup inside my socks.
Sneakers should be left to gym and casual wear and never worn with suits, it’s beyond tacky.
Don’t like skinny trousers or trousers that are too narrow, too baggy, too long, or too short. They should just break over half the top of the shoe and be no less than an inch from bottom of the shoe that meets the heel when standing; not short like your girlfriend’s capris or too long that you’re walking off the back end. They should be full enough that you don’t look like a 12-year-old little boy or so tight they look like yoga pants when wearing them.
Excellent video.Would just like to add this correction: Complementary colors are across the color wheel. Orange complements green, for example. The word is related to completion. Complementary colors are pleasing because they activate a balance of cones (color receptors) in the eye..A color which is "next to" the next section on the color wheel will be displeasing, and very tiring to the eyes. Pink and orange, for example or green and blue. So.for a pleasing look, choose colors from one wedge of the color wheel (shades of blue for example for about 95 per cent of the total and accent with the complement from the opposite side of the color wheel.(Touch of red with a base of blue) You can't 'accent" with a " next to" color. Red with yellow would look.sickening
Blue with green can make the viewer feel seasick. These are not complements and you will not receive compliments for these awful combinations. They are very tiring to eyes because they activate the same cones without breaks.
hell, i won't wear white athletic socks, period. i go the German route, apparently, but not to preserve at all. Only out of aesthetic choice 8:16
My advice is to wear what you want and ignore people who think they are the experts on what looks good on a man.
Just because he thinks he knows what looks good doesn’t mean he does.
He is not doing a public service giving his own opinions.
Yet you're here. The beautiful thing about social media is that you can keep scrolling if you don't like something. Plus a few style tips doesn't hurt.
And he's probably single....
5:49 would this apply to Graphic Tees as well? I understand if a guy wanting to express himself but there’s a time and place for “lounging” clothing.
@@icaliver don’t get too busy with the overall outfit when wearing graphic tees or band shirts. Good example would be a black nirvana tee shirt with dark washed/black jeans and a simple sneaker or plain Jordan’s.
What are your thoughts on sneakers without socks worn with too-small suits? I often see this look on the guys on NFL pre game shows who are in their 50s.
You forgot to mention combining sneakers with business suits. This looks so daggy! (although I understand why some people do it-more comfortable when traveling to or from work). When I was in the corporate world, I saw this quite a bit although to be fair, they would change their footwear to something more suitable when in the office.
In Japan women wear dress shoes to work and change to sneakers in the office.
Thank you great advice
Some things definitely depend on age/generation. People in my dad’s generation would be triggered by your stripe shirt & checked jacket. People their age follow a strict no “2 different patterns” or 2 of the same like stripe on stripe even if one pattern is significantly more thick etc. whenever my parents see someone on tv mixing patterns they cringe. Now for you & me I think your outfit with the stripe shirt & check jacket looks slick. Kids today refuse to not wear socks with sandals & the socks must be tube socks. They give me 💩 for only wearing no shows or the smallest ankle socks.
My biggest pet peeve with the current in-style is how kids tuck their pants legs (especially sweats) into their tube socks. To me it looks like they have a bug infestation in their house or they’re going for a hike and don’t want to get covered with chigger bites. I also hate high cut trouser pant legs bc it looks like their basement flooded or they just walked across a creek.
I'm known for my "bad shirts" I'm not talking the Hawaiian affairs but quality printed house shirts. If I'm wearing one everything else is clean, quality and solid that allows the satire of the shirt to play it's proper role.
There's dressing "classic" which I do alot of the time as well, but there's also being able to wear something and people comment "that is horrible but somehow you pull it off" vibe i feel is important to explore.
It's not just about what you wear; it is how you wear it!
shirts stays....yes!!!!! use them all the time!
I love having a well tailored shirt and shirt stays. My only gripe is that it makes carry with a tuckable IWB holster impractical at the very least. Most of the time, if I'm using shirt stays in the first place, it probably means open carry is not a very good option. (I have successfully pulled it off on occasion, you'd be shocked what you can do without anybody really noticing.) I tend to avoid pocket carry most of the time, and again, if I'm not wearing jeans, I don't usually want the weight of a pistol slapping around in my pocket anyway.
Anybody here got recommendations to get around this?
Try a smaller gun like a Baretta Bobcat or Tomcat. They fit in cellphone cases and nobody but you will know. I know they don’t have the punch of a larger firearm but you’re not using it everyday and knowing you have something in those occasions when you can’t easily carry your larger gun is what matters.
You can almost do the same with a Walther PPK or S&W Bodyguard since they’re .380s but they’re a tight squeeze in the XXL Niteze cellphone case I have with my Bodyguard.
For a role model, think Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack. ;-)
Can you wear a patterned shirt with patterned pants?
Yes if you’re posh.
I learned at a young age mens style. I sold suits, slacks and shirts to business age men that couldn’t for the life of you know what coordinates with what. You know what those same rules from all those years ago still apply. Things have relaxed a little but what looks good still looks good. I sometimes cringe at men dressing like boy on a sports team wearing basketball shorts and jerseys at the age of 40. I even noticed that European men think wearing track suit warm ups is styling.
In liberal controlled areas like NorCal where I live many of us dress like this to look poor to avoid the gangs and scammers and gold diggers. If I lived in an area where law and order prevailed and I could carry protection I would dress nice. Simple survival strategy.
I’ve got three dress shirts, three pants, five ties, 12 pair of socks = countless options but I’ve got no shirt suspenders.
"drinking and doing pull ups..." Just typical marine behavior 😂
is that Joe Burrow at 4:28
What if i like untucked t-shirt instead of tucked :)?
You’re allowed to, but it isn’t proper
Just be aware of the length
The minute I saw brown shoes with blue slacks. I tuned out.
You don’t want to look sharp at 3am. Personally i untie my Bow tie to shown that is a real one not those with fake knots. Shirt disheveled buttons untied approachable
Shirt stays are a game changer
Yes master,I obey
Well said Antonio! Monochromatic outfits rarely work. They look especially bad at the Oscars and such events
Reminds me of Regis Philbin.
The logos...spot on. Versace is one of the worst offenders of this. SO much of what comes from that house has Versace plastered all over it and it does look tacky. Understated is classy.
Real money whispers
Cargo shorts master race!
Boom oh yeah 😂
Dominican style: socks with sandals. This Puerto Rican doesn't do that. 😂😂😂
Socks with sandals are a fashion faux pas, no matter where in the world.
Facts. Socks and chancletas DON'T go together. I see cocolos do that shit on the train here in NY. Domis too. Watch you get a lotta shit from the plátanos 😂
Can’t dress like this even though I would like too bc as soon as I layer up and move I’ll sweat and be wet from head to socks . Doesn’t matter the weather.
Your shorts should be pressed and come down to the top of your .knees. The only shirts you should wear are a solid colour of either Khaki, Royal Blue, Navy or Bottle green. Legs should be tanned and oiled. Ideally wear trainer socks or white only ankle socks 6 inches above your trainers.
I never wear large logos. It does not look good and why give the company free advertising?
I would take the sports jersey thing a step further: a sports jersey is meant to be worn if you are on the damn team.
Great video but like I would say to others, please, please stop with captioning words on the screen!! It’s so distracting!
I do matching ties and pocket squares because that's what my dad wore when he was here
If you are going to have them why shouldn't they match, it used to be common to do so...
Men’s garter belt 😂 just not sure I can go through with it.
Sir, I have enjoyed every video that I have watched and thank you for the constant entertainment and education. I was thrilled you brought up shirt stays as I find them to be indispensable when tucking anything in.
Random observations and thoughts:
Never wear anything with a logo. I ditched all my graphic t-shirts years ago, for I am no longer 20.
Sandals should not be worn by men over 25. No one wants to see your feet.
Shirt stays are wonderful inventions, been using them for years.
Over dress for every occasion. You’ll look good, women will notice, and other men will (should) want to raise their game.
Clothing must fit. Find a good tailor or alterations shop.
Irons and lint rollers are essential tool for life.
Anyone can look like a slob and attempt to justify it. Don’t be that guy.
great content ! keep doing
Isn't all of this purely individual opinion? If I see someone that appears to dress as recommended in this video, I actually think there is something wrong with the person... Like they are needy of approval of others, have no skills, desperate for a job, partner or not actually focusing on real life challenges that we need to address as a society. Perhaps they are excessively externally focused. I personally would not hire such a person - its as if their head is not in the game (the profession they are in) and they are a bad investment as they make bad investments in themselves. Not intending to troll here at all... I do agree wearing sports tops outside of sport events don't look good, but everything else I have an opposite opinion. If people judge you for not wearing fancy clothes, it tells you how shallow they are.
My man is telling guys to limit patterns to two while wearing three patterns (striped shirt, plaid jacket, polka dot pocket square) Not saying that it looks bad, but it definitely points to the pitfalls of trying to establish absolute rules for style.
For t-shirts, I prefer wearing plain, solid, logo-free ones.
Most men would dress properly if they just used what Antonio shared on that first minute. I mean, I use those rules all the time. And it's simple BUT you don't look insane. And you can always learn more advance stuff but that one minute will change everything.
