10 Things Men Shouldn't Wear in 2024 (or Ever)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ค. 2024
- I know, I know… Another clickbait-y, overly prescriptive hot take about what you should or should not wear. Let me just get something straight before we get into the list. First, this is all just, like, my opinion, man. And I’m just some guy on the internet. Sure, I think I have pretty good taste, but taste is subjective, and yours is just as valid.
Second, this video is meant to be lighthearted. If you’ve bought, own or even love some of the things on this list, that’s totally fine: wear what makes you happy. And for the record, I’ve worn many of these things in the past. Please don’t take this video too seriously, and of course, feel free to fire back in the comments section.

🧍🏻My Sizes
I'm 5'6" with shoes on and about 125 lbs after dinner. I have a 35" chest; I usually wear XS tops and 28x28 pants (or 28x30 cuffed).
My best suit jacket size is 34 Short, but even 34S needs alterations (mostly shortening of the sleeves and jacket), so my best-fitting suits are custom.

Couple of clarifications:
1 - Yes, I agree that v-necks make great undershirts
2 - You could argue that most watches are "homages" in some way...okay, fair point
3 - Yeah, John Wick wears all black. But are you John Wick?
4 - Black shirts are fine as part of a uniform (musician, clergy, valet, etc.)
5 - Brown is an underrated color in menswear
6 - I'm adding oversized watches to this list
7 - And bowties
8 - Buy my style course - th-cam.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/w-d-xo.html
Well I was going to make point 1, but you stole my thunder. But while I'm here, you're wrong about Jersey's. As long as it is for watching the game. Otherwise great list.
Ok, I'm here to make a case for the V neck, I wear them for comfort, as the crew neck has always felt uncomfortable to me, adding stress to my lower neck, Does that give them a pass? Curious to hear your thoughts
@@RonnyJimenez1 function over form, always. So I say comfort is king!
Bow ties definitely look horrible unless it's part of black tie attire of course. One thing I would add to the list that unfortunately seems to be trying to make a come back...pleated pants. Sorry Instagram influencers and nostalgia dandies, pleats still don't look good.
You’re as funny as you are right
I didn't know those sweater shirt things existed and I was a happier man not knowing.
Some things you can't unsee. I'm sorry 😞
what is a homage watch ? @@BrockMcGoff
4:57 , dude I wear long baggy shorts that go past my knees , I think its cooler and more appealing than regular shorts that make you look like boy scouts
I wear long baggy short with a football jersey , its fine , it goes well with a football jersey , its not a outdated fashion trend , its both comfortable and perfectly in style @@BrockMcGoff
how do you even iron that thing
"Parkour at the airport" - spat coffee out my mouth literally...such a trope....
Hahahaha that was hilarious!
Really, is is such a "trope", you Gen Z turd?
Like OJ in the Hertz rent-a-car commercials.
I clicked on this video to hate on it, but everything was correct
@@mutteringmale That's only correct if you're buying to show off to others. There are plenty of watch enthusiasts for whom being able to appreciate a high-end watch is an actual hobby.
@@yamasail This. I bought my Omega Seamaster for myself not to impress others. And I could afford it. LOL at actually caring about what other people do with their money.
@@MakeMeMyMoney Outstanding choice. Have a Speedmaster myself.
Other than the guy making the video being dressed like Tim Blake Nelson
@@yamasail Nice! Thought about getting that one, but I liked the white dial with the orange hands of the Seamaster.
I like V-necks as long as they aren't too prominent. I think body type has a lot to do with what you can get away with.
perfectly said, I agree. In fact, I'd say that v-necks with a very moderate subtle dip in the neck line, looks even better that crew necks.
@@juanitotucupeiI only have a couple of V-neck tees and like you mentioned they’re not cut too low and I think they look pretty good. I do think that something cut down to the center of your breastbone looks bad.
I prefer v-neck t-shirts because they're not so prominently visible under my v-neck sweaters that I always prefer over round necks. A round neck under a v-neck sweater is just asking for the 90s demanding their look back.
@@Pietervdv "just asking for the 90s" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a man with big traps, v necks are the only t shirts that fit right across my top half. Saying that though....don't go too deep with it
"The mullet of men's footwear": love it! Great list.
The mullet that is a thousand times more healthier and comfortable than these stiff and hard classic dress shoes...
I agree with Brock's take on these hybrid shoes but I personally think they look great with jeans ...never with a suit or dress pants but with jeans or casual pants is 👍 in my book
@damonjabbari9397 I think Gronk and others wear these with suits on the Sunday halftime shows.
@@Jungla694 yup they do and I personally think it looks really bad
@@DerHalbeEuro not true at all. Get better actual dress shoes. Consider a vibram sole or heel
Everything is on point, however, there's an exception with cargo shorts. I wear them when I am on my sailboat, pockets are perfect for all the items needed when sailing.
Notice how he's against extra short pockets, yet there are two giant useless pockets on the very shirt/jacket he's wearing.
@@johndong7524 Good observation.
My better half always complains about my cargo shorts, but has no problem filling up the pockets with phone, keys, sunglasses etc.... 🤣
@@KlausKokholmPetersen My point exactly. I am keeping the three pairs I have.
@@charlescharles9625 I mainly use them for walking the dogs. I am not taking a rucksack with me for that. But I guess he would agree that all of our mentions are not "dressing" up, but usefull for our hobbys
Hi Brock, I would like to describe the virtues of a (normal) vneck t-shirt vs crew neck:
1. Vnecks are great t-shirts to wear under your dress shirt at the office. Crew necks under a dress shirt (with an open collar) look absolutely terrible. You have a nice dress shirt which is undermined by the crew neck t-shirt.
2. On hot days, that simple v neck opening helps keep one cooler.
3. Depending on the body shape and facial structure, the v-neck might accentuate the wearer's positive physical characteristics.
You got that right! V-neck undershirts and v-neck sweaters are exactly for the purpose of button up shirts with the collar open, and not at all ever really meant for any other arrangement. Crew-neck undershirts are for when you button the shirt up all the way and close the collar and put on a tie.
Brock McGoff: "Wearing a v-neck where people can see it, it looks dumb. Don't do that."
ZHumanFactor: "You're wrong. If you wear a v-neck where people *can't* see it it's totally fine."
Me: *smh*
Wearing a baseball hat backward after age 12.
*Hell, yes!*
Wearing a baseball hat backwards at any time, when you are not the catcher.
Or unless you are or were a catcher
Even if you abuse PEDs and troll the gym for "not so" honeys.
Totally. I was working with some African dudes out in the bush in Burkina Faso and one of them turned his ball cap around backwards because he was trying to get his face closer to an instrument he was using. The other African dudes started giving him crap, saying "yo!", because they thought he was a wannabe African American rapper at that point.
Calling hybrid dress shoes the "corporate branded performance polo of foot coverings" is the best take of the year so far.
Brock, your video quality has gotten a lot better since a year or 2 ago! I like the lighting choices (that sneaky yellow-orange lamp is a nice touch), and the 2 camera angles really help your story telling. You've got really refreshing takes and they aren't laced with any of the posturing of the "real men don't do that" attitude. Excited for more!
Thank you! I appreciate you noticing the upgrades. I'm trying to focus on stronger writing and more interesting production. Glad you noticed and more to come 🙏🏻
I actually dig the departure from your normal content with the tone of this one. Really fun seeing another side of your personality here. Also, I couldn't agree more with this list, except for the jersey one, because when your 3 year old son loves the Cincinnati Bengals and Joe burrow more than anything and asks you to wear a Joe Burrow jersey to play football in the house, you wear a Joe Burrow jersey and play football in the house.
Thanks! I love that you support your son like that. I'd do the same thing (although for me, it'll probably be letting my daughters paint my nails 💅).
I wear soccer (football) shirts as the game is massive over here and there are certain contexts where it's acceptable. I sometimes wear one at home if I'm just going to be around the house or doing stuff in the garden etc. Obviously, wearing them to a game is fine or on holiday/at the beach if you just want a top to throw on (especially if you're like a lot of Brits and you toast just by talking about the sun). I do see loads of guys wear football shirts in public and although I love the game I'm just not a fan of wearing them as every day clothing. I do have a polo shirt with a small badge of my team on the chest and that looks way better.
In the house, ok. But not in public.
@@MartinParnham honestly football shirts are having a moment and there are a lot of celebrities wearing them lately. I do like to wear one or two but it's a hard look to pull off without looking like an overgrown child. Special mention to Mexico away shirt 22-23 though.
Ok, so the algorithm recommended me your video and I was already getting ready to hate what you were gonna say. But after watching your video I agreed with everything and now you got a new subscriber. Good stuff 👍🏽
Great video! Instant sub. Keep it up! And loved your take on sports 😂💯
Appreciate it!
Love this sarcastic and witty take. More of this
Noted!
Agreed, great video!
@@BrockMcGoffI subscribed just for the snark, AND your cool speech cadence.
I have a black dress shirt exclusively for funerals. And when you get older, it unfortunately gets used a lot more often than I'd like.
black dress shirts look good with camo army pants , its a causal look , a bit gangster but still looks nice I think
I'm not a fan of camo pants , I think its out of style and I don't like wearing it , I try to stay away from it because I don't think it looks good , it was great in the 1990's but its not in style now
I wear white shirts to funerals. Black ones tend to look a bit gangsterish.
Still looks tacky
A black shirt can still look good , a black dress shirt looks good with a white suit or off white linen suit or with a light brown suit , now a black tie is a different story , I think a black tie looks ridiculous unless your at a funeral @@bhougland18
@@sinabagherisarvestani8924 Personally, I would add camo pants to the no-no list
V-necks are great if worn as undershirt for oxford shirts. For protection and avoiding yellow stains in the armpits. And when you pop open one or two buttons, the v-neck doesn't show. Would you agree on this?
Totally (see my pinned comment)
That's really what v-necks are for.
Yeah, that's where they belong. Underneath and hidden (I literally have a dozen of these for this sole purpose -- also cuts down on my dry cleaning bills).
I LOVE the intro. We all tried stupid things, even enjoy them sometimes. Knowing you do something wrong but not care? Can be fun,...
(Baseball Jersey and long shorts for me, nothing makes me happier)
Thank you for posting content that is actually sensible (albeit your opinion still). As I age (mid 30s) I find myself going to clothing pieces that actually fit my body properly and that I can use in a variety of occasions, instead of going with trends.
100% this.
Always appreciate the longer videos!
11. Shirts with 2 front pockets…unless our a carpenter or lumberjack. If you need that much storage, pants have pockets.
Hey Brock,
Great video, agree with all of it. I was wondering what's the name/brand of that Brown jacket you're wearing in this video (and also the T-shirt inside?). I'm almost the same height (5'7") as you and similar build. And I like that combo!
I don't think I can ever ditch my shallow v-neck shirts. I have a weird hang-up about things around my neck. Turtlenecks are kind of my worst nightmare. Hopefully I'm not getting silently roasted by strangers in public.
Yup, some guys have facial hair which will always interfere with most clothing options (your profile picture checks out).
I used to love turtlenecks, but cannot wear them anymore. Would need to shave every few hours to keep me from getting mad. Luckily, round neck shirts work, but they seem to wear out faster on me than on everyone else.
I would add square toe shoes. There is no legitimate reason these need to exist.
well it depends , if you have really big feet , like size 14 or 15 than square toe looks nice
Historically. I’d agree. But I feel this past year some brands like Marsell and Margiela kinda nailed the squared toed shoe proportion.
Cowboy boots look good with square toes. I assume you are talking about dress shoes which I agree with you on.
Good shout!
Nah every man needs a pair of square toe cowboy boots
On the “hybrid dress shoes” does that apply to any with the white soles or just the ones that have that sneaker-sole shape (flat without any heal). What if the shape of the shoe and sole are typical of regular dress shoes but have the white color sole sides? Thanks.
Cant get rid of cargo shorts. Where do men put ever larger smartphones, keys, wallet etc when wearing just t-shirt and shorts?
Also, on homage watches. Did you ever get an 'own brand' can of beans or soda from the supermarket and realise it tastes the same as the famous, more expensive branded version? If anything, they taste better because you're saving money........
Bro, you & I are totally in sync with this list. I agree on your entire list (well, I do have one black dress shirt I wear when working PT with my friend's catering business)
Man, you nailed it. I have 60+ years in fashion. All common sense. Keep it coming . You are really helping folks here.
I agree. This was spot on, though not as lengthy as it could have been. As far as helping folks out there, that only comes into play if the offenders heed the advice.
Luxury watches/fake watches: There is only ONE reason to wear a luxury watch--if it's a model you really genuinely like. If you're wearing it to impress, you're already off the trail. And to fake it is even more pathetic. I actually avoid items that have a too status conscious vibe.
I agree with everything you said! And i had low expectations when i clicked on the video based on the title. Good job
Nice to see you again Brock! I hope to see more casual try ons. Also, are we going to get an updated house tour in the near future?
I have to say, I've almost excluisvely worn v-neck tees for the past ten years. It'd be hard to change my mind on those, I always feel great wearing them!
Same here, I love the way they look on me.
I always wear kind of a tame V though, nothing rodiculous.
My gym staple. Neck can breathe at gym and casual home wear.
I tend to think skinny guys looks better with crew necks, bigger or more muscular guys with v necks.
I tend to agree on V-neck on basic color t-shirts and jeans. I like them
Agreed, I like the look of a good v-neck or hendley although I do plenty of crews as well, the v just needs to be moderate.
I had that 'Hey, I resemble that remark' a few times in this vid.
Sound advice though. Good job!
Great video; btw, I love the v neck sweater over a shirt look you showed; but I'm finding it hard to make a modular wardrobe with those (what casual wear like full sleeve undershirts or casual shirts do I wear with it?). Can you make a video focusing on matching sweater shirt combos for these?
The outer layer is more of personal tasted and honestly quite easy to figure out.. (I simply wear a shell all the time haha!)
Keep in mind that a Rolex does not make you better than the people around you. Only you can make you better than the people around you.
Apparently, you dont own a Rolex! 🤣
@@USAisAntiWhite I own 3.
@@thomasmorrison675 dude you are better than me.
@@USAisAntiWhite The fact that you measure worth on the basis of a watch tells me you are not very worthy yourself. And I am 100% certain you don't have even have a rolex.
so what is it that YOU do that makes YOU better than those around you?
Great list 👍🏻
Great video! What brand wool suit was that early in the video? I really need a good one
Never mind brands. Look for highest % natural fibre, cotton or wool, and something that fits properly, feels comfortable, looks good.
This was great, informative, and I laughed out loud (for real) a few times!
“No need to go full bud light” 😂 Always a treat when a good video makes you laugh out loud.
My dad bought a replica Cartier Tank dress watch 20 years ago when he passed I started wearing it and I can’t believe it’s still working and keeping good time.
I've been eyeballing a Seiko Santos for a while (it's obviously a mod), I would love to buy something similar but the desing is too unique.
I have a 30 years old Cartier Santos and the only thing that makes it fake is that it says quartz at the bottom, most people think it's a genuine piece.
@@ABS_Gentwait. If it’s 30
Years old it is a quartz bro
@@ABS_Gent It is probably real, they made plenty of quartz
@@ABS_Gent My friend there is a Cartier Santos Quartz.
QUESTION! I'm 195 lbs, 5 ft 7, white, with brown hair and beard. I'm inquiring what you suggest that I should wear to church and or what colors? I enjoy a full suit. Thank you.
Where is your shirt in this video from? looks great!
Hey man, I just LOVE your new vibe on this video- so sarcastic, mean and funny at the same time, without being too harsh.
By the way it’s probably the first time I totally agree with everything a video says
Thank you for saying that about performance dress shirts! I’d put the lululemon ABC pants (and various lulu ripoffs) in the same category - they’re ok from a comfort perspective but synthetics always end up smelling funny and they just don’t have the same feel as a decent pair of cotton or cotton blend chinos or 5-pocket pants and a cotton or cotton blend button-up shirt.
Love your content, everything you share is correct. Thank you for your sharing.
Video content aside I really appreciate your style of editing. No music, no zooms, no hyper jarring quick cuts, and minimal jokes/memes.
Hey Brock, have been following you since the modest man days and never have I ever seen this side of yours, you are roasting like a pro 😂 and this made me to comment for the first time ever on your video, the content as always is spot on but the delivery this time is hitting out of the park, keep up the good work, cheers 😊
I appreciate that!
I haven't seen him in a while. I almost forgot the channel was called modest man. He looks to have aged a good amount in only a few years
@@i_am_samiii6580 well when you move across the country, buy a house, sell a business and have two kids in the span of three years...
Brock, 100%, - 1st- Hilarious & Entertaining, 2nd, Following for awhile, got to say you found your "Niche" 3rd, Advice,? spot on as always Bro! Seriously, Please do more Vids with type of format, Nobody else is doing this type of spin. Hit us up with another... Good Job Brock!! :)
I appreciate that!
I love these videos - whether serious or tongue in cheek they always give me a good laugh, especially the comments. I have no idea why anyone would let some random person on the internet influence their choice of clothes; the very idea of “ influencers” is an anathema to me but then I am 63.😅
Cool vid. I can really appreciate and agree with (honestly) 99.9% of your insights. When it comes to V-necks, I have high-styles so it’s more in line with normal T’s. Have a great one! 🥂
Great video per usual Brock. Love the takes! You’re not wrong about the sports jersey. I used to wear them myself until I heard someone say what you said…”a grown man wearing another grown man’s jersey”. 😂
yep, I know I'm in the minority on the sports jersey. However, after a certain age, I think I felt a little immature, pitiful, or trying too hard to be too much like the herd. However, I'm sure folks have some choice things to say about my clothes too 😮
@@bernardpiper2648 some "real" football jersey are actually nice and classy..
@@KLBjordan7 I say go for it, if it makes you feel good. If your clothes make you feel confident and put you in a good mood, I say wear a jersey, a leather bike jacket or even a dress :-) But none of those are my thing! I'm more of a chinos and sweater kindof guy, which I'm sure makes some guys not feel comfortable or confident.
No need to manage anyone's feelings, although I feel attacked for my HeyDude's 😆. Thanks for all the great tips over the years!!
Fantastic STuff! Love your sense of humour and sound advice.
I'm old enough to be Brock's dad. I wear what is comfortable period. Today I wore a blue henley (yeah I had to google it) under an acid green hoodie with Levi's and brown slip-ons to the grocery store. Yeah, I looked strange but I was comfortable. I could be worse and wear polyester pajama bottoms to Walmart but I don't wear mine outside and I DON"T shop at Walmart...
I agree with everything besides the V-neck T-Shirts, it all depends how aggressive the V-neck is.
I still like my Sunspel Riviera t-shirts, because the V-neck is very minimal, but it also adds a casual sportiness that quite enjoy in summer.
A subtle V is the way to go, for sure!
V neck T-shirts (with a minimal v) have their place, especially if you’re working out or running.
Or sleeping.
@@JThaddeus1019 V necks for working out? I go to the gym 4 times a week and I can't picture it lol scoop neck tank tops yea...
Just curious - Are V-Neck shirts bad because most guys don't have the upper chest to pull it off, or, do you guys think they're bad in general?
I personally like them, but I'm also pretty muscular. Genuinely asking.
I think they only work for guys with muscular chests/shoulders/necks. But I also think that those guys would look just as good or better in crew necks.
I think V neck’s are great if you have the body type for it
I do have some v-necks. Reason: I wear t-shirts only as undershirts, in winter. And if I wear a shirt without a tie (rarely, I like dressing more on the formal side), I wouldn't want the t-shirt to poke out under the dress shirt.
A V neck undershirt is fine. I do the same thing. @@PotsdamSenior
I can't go back to crewnecks. suffocating if you have a big neck and chest. I'll take my non deep vnecks to the grave. But I'm old and married with a toddler.
Hi mate , do they have decent hairdressers where you come from .
Thanks for the heads up on this subject. Very well done. I don’t watch sports as well. Since I have played tennis on occasion enjoy watching.
Damn, wasn't expecting the first one. I got a pair of oxford-styled leather sneakers from Allen Edmonds, to me it looks like a normal leather sneaker with an elevated cut...almost made me second guess my purchase - but I still love em! I feel like they work great for a classy date night, or business casual at work
Even if they look good, most offer little or no support.
I have both the hybrid shoes and regular dress shoes and think the hybrids are a good way to be more comfortable and to push limits a bit at a stuffy company.
I think the solid panel leather ones look fine. Like Common Projects style. The wing tip ones (or any brogue style) can look odd.
I totally agree with the fake watches.
Why? You can fool everyone into thinking it’s real and it looks just as good from the outside…I don’t think of myself as a phony…I think of myself as someone who looks just as good at fraction of the price…
It drives me nuts, because I almost always wear a Casio A700 which I bought off Amazon for 25$, and it attracts a fair number of compliments. It's way better to buy something cheap and genuine than buy a fake which is pretending to be something it isn't.
I have a high-quality fake Rolex. If someone mentions it I enjoy the conversation of asking them if it's fake or not, and I don't pretend it's real. Double-bonus when some poser tells me he's really into watches and they usually think it's real.
@@schreinerkyle I can't tell if your being sarcastic or not. . .
I have a fake watch. It’s beautifully made and I feel amazing when I wear it because it’s in my range of affordability.
First of your videos that I’ve seen. Outstanding. I’m subscribed and look forward to the next.
Your take so sports is spot on. Playing sports is great. Being a loyal sports fan of a team with players that have no allegiance to any particular city (they just follow the money) is just being sheep. The slaughter is the cost of tickets, merchandise, and subscriptions needed to watch what used to be publicly broadcasted games.
Yes! So glad you mentioned those dress shoes with sneaker soles right off the bat! I always thought they were tacky, looks as if someone was pulling leftovers from the Ross shoes section. Just subscribed, great stuff Brock!
I was agreeing with everything you said until you got to cargo shorts. I may need those extra pockets one day and I don't what to tote a backpack.
What is your opinion on mullets though. Asking for myself.
I actually like mullets, especially for you country folk.
Ok that’s a relief.
Ok that’s a relief.
Very good tips, thank you.
No black dress shirt with a black suit?
John Wick says otherwise.
Yeah, but you're not John Wick, so..
Funnily enough, that's actually my legal name.
No black suit at all . Dark grey or charcoal. Never black it goes with nothing
Is not that you can't pull it off, you need to be carefull with the shades of black and how the materials reflect light.
And it's probably best left to John Wick 😅
Here in SoCal, the dress-sneakers have taken over in local t.v. news studio reporting. It looks ridiculous to me. They'd be wearing a nice full suit but mess it up with those weird shoes.
Yup, it's a total mismatch. Ruins the outfit!
They’re Frankenstein monstrosities. I can’t stand them
I call it the journalist/pundit/reporter shoe at this point. I'm almost beginning to think they are standard issue at this point.
I've lost count of how many guys I've seen in good suits and the camera pans to the footwear and you see those monstrosities on their feet.
It's f*cking atrocious.
A dress sneakers is an oxymoron.
@@walterfoyt5985 so true
Great writing for this vid. Very clever and funny!
Are nikes ok? I wear shorts, shoes, and t shirt since the weather is nicer
I love my cargo shorts. This is the hill i'll die for. Anyway nice video.
Keep it real, brother 🤜🤛
Get them in the ladies department. Those are 1) not over the knee, 2) not over the top baggy, 3) have a proper rise so you won't show butt-cracks. See them as well dressed cargo shorts.
I agree with you on the jersey take, and I'm a sports fan. According to Esquire's The Handbook of Style: "There is a name for men who can pull off wearing sport jerseys. They're called professional athletes."
I would add that v-neck T-shirts could work for undershirts if you want to wear them under a button-up shirt and unbutton the top couple of buttons.
Also, I didn't know that two-in-one sweaters existed until this video.
Love that quote! And yeah, v-necks are perfect for undershirts (under button ups).
I agree;l the only thing worse than wearing another man's name on the back of your shirt is your wife doing it.
what's that insurance commercial where therapist keeps folks from turning into parents.
Really liked your video, thanks for the nice job. Could you do a video on the 10 things a man should know how to cook? I read an article on this a long time ago and really began to perfect my cooking but I know most men have no clue in the kitchen. Other top 10 lists for men:
10 top tools and how to use
10 top qualities of kindness
As a 48 yo lifelong Mod I have to say that the way men dress today shows a complete loss of direction.
Three button mohair single vent suits worn with loafers, Hush Puppy boots for comfort with Levi 501s, Ben Sherman button down shirts, Fred Perry t-shirts , wrap round sunglasses , Levi Sta-Prest trousers and you’re sorted .
Two in one V-neck jumpers are the correct items to wear and with a jumper underneath instead of a ridiculous shirt
😂😂😂 crushed me on the watches 😢😢.. I love watches don't care for branding but boy did your words sting 😂😂😂. Good content
6:35 ouch strong right hook 😂😂😂 got me again.
All in good fun :)
I have an 18 inch neck and a 32 inch waist, the only choice I have is a v-neck or a larger fitting tee, buying a cotton Oxford is a nightmare too, 18 inch neck comes with something like a 52 chest, ridiculous
I'm right there with you, kinda. I have an 18-inch neck and 32-inch waist, but I also have a 50-inch chest. I have to get nearly every shirt I buy tailored. Otherwise, I look like I'm wearing a sheet. I have an amazing seamstress, though.
Are you a turtle?
LOL, Nope ,but I do like splashing around in water ⛲@@grl9917
just found your channel, great content, well done. If you don't mind I'll continue watching and thumbing👍
Well done - good tips and never chuckled so much at a mens style video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I agree with most EXCEPT
A V-neck can look good only if the V is extremely shallow. But you are right in terms of crewnecks will always be better
V Neck t shirts are in, if you can wear it well. Then it dresses up a level from crew. keep on keeping on
Agreed, a shallow black v neck with a blazer works fine always
The only '&' shirt company I would buy from "Turnbull & Asser".
Or Hawes & Curtis.
Thank you for the tips.
Thank you for each of these observations.
About jerseys:
Some soccer teams in Europe started to put out incredible jerseys that can be worn as statement pieces. Look especially for Italian teams (Venezia FC 2022 kit is really good) and I think they'd go quite nicely with a casual/sporty look. Pair them up with joggers or cargo pants and sneakers you're good to go. Of course this is my opinion.
You shared the key word/name which is also the explanation: Europe. European countries and their cultures are always naturally tasteful or ahead in their approach to clothing and style. They're a different world altogether.
@@alexsdb9712 no one stops you to get a tasteful jersey and style it. Nothing to do with being European or not.
@sercancelenk7131 Why not? You answered it and explained it yourself! European football teams went and did something about it to combat possible lack of style when it comes to athletic jerseys. It's a great thing they took action and great to show innovation. English is my native tongue. I have to mention this because as this is the world wide web, this type of situation is bound to happen. I know it's happened to me before, and when it was actually the reason, it ends everything and the need to continue communication between each other. English is my native language, and first out of three languages. All the best!
It's such a great video. Probably one of your best. The part on fake watches is unbeatable! Lot of fun. I agree 100% on everything. Keep up with the good work!
Agreed on fake watches. But what's your take on dupe/clone fragrances?
*I totally agree with everything you said, ESPECIALLY about V-neck shirts and shorts below the knees!*
🎉🎉😊
Flip flops if you're not at the pool.
Flip flops if not at the pool ! Yes that should have been in the video. Underrated comment
Great video, Brock! Agree 100%. I’ve never been a big sports fan either, so I totally understand about sports jerseys 😂. Keep up the great work!
Thoughts on a black dress shirt with a navy suit?
Regarding the sports jerseys--if you're not a fan, I agree, don't bother with a jersey you're only wearing out of peer pressure. If you ARE a fan, by all means, get the one(s) that speak to your obsessive fandom of the team. It is difficult if you happen to live in a place where there is not a big fanbase for your favorite team. I feel your pain. It's OK to be invisible in public. When you get to the arena or stadium, get the best-looking home jersey--with or without your favorite player's name--and wear it with pride for years at the games. Its OK to direct a little energy to your favorite sports team and wear the colors while doing it.
After further thought, there are a couple fashion rules for special circumstances, such as being a guest in the owner's suite or your company's box seats.
First, most professional and collegiate teams have branded polo or golf shirts--wearing that is your best, conservative, branded option.
Second, if you are bringing a second colleague or date, clue them into the dress code (match the level of attire you're wearing--which is likely not a jersey*).
Third, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you or your colleague/date wear anything branded of the rival team. Don't bite the hand that gave you the ticket!
*Lastly, try to learn what others in your company box/suite will be wearing--if everyone is wearing jerseys--and many company cultures do--great! your choice!
If you are attending a professional event with someone else's ticket, chances are it was expensive--more expensive than the branded clothing people in the suite will be wearing. Be respectful. Dress appropriately. Have a good time.
The hybrid dress shoes are exactly for wearing them at work where you can’t use sneakers because is a company policy so I’ll keep them thank you
First time watching your content. I agree with every one of your takes except for the Hey Dude shoes. I love those shoes for around the house and a quick trip to the store.
Try some Crocks
Nice video. You seem like a cool guy for sure. A lot of men’s fashion videos I’ve seen leave me with an odd “taste in my mouth” so to speak. Not so here. Very cool, very chill. Like a caring uncle.
Wow this was amazing insight keep it up 👍 I got a funeral to go to and I think I got just the fit to pull
Off
The black shirt with the charcoal suit but for some reason the white shirt seems better
I agree on your take on fake watches, but i think homage are ok, specially if they are mechanical or automatic, there are some well crafted homage watches out there, and anyway what are the odds of somebody asking what watch brand you're wearing?
Exactly. Nobody gives a what about my choice of watches. I just like have a reasonably priced watch with super nice specs. I've zero interest in dumping $20, $30, or $40k into say, a Rolex which are *to me* garish, bland, (at the same time!) when I can have a few tasteful Seiko's, or dare I say it, a nice looking Pagani Design for a change-up. Give me an orange Seiko Monster and I'm happy! Or a discreet looking dive watch with a suit! Why not? And, anyway, *NOBODY CARES*.
@@7CharlesV One thing I really love about the watch enthusiast community is they'll respect someone who wears a Casio and really loves it over a person who wears a Rolex only because they care about what other people think. The video's advice to "save up for the watch you want" is good. But I don't think anyone should be embarrassed about wearing a timepiece that they love, even if a non-watch person thinks the brand name isn't impressive.
They're all homages, wear what you like( and can afford) and don't worry about the watch police, life is short NO one cares.
I agree with the list with a few exceptions.
The homage watch is a legitimate loophole for a couple of reasons.
Some homages are for very old designs that are often unobtainable or very expensive.
Second, even if an homage to a current model, say the Rolex Submariner, most people can’t afford a real Rolex sub. But if you just enjoy the look, really nothing wrong with buying a Steinhart or a San Martin. And, fwiw if anybody notices your watch, comment is usually more like nice watch then I’d that a Rolex
Third, to some extent, a lot of watches borrow elements from famous designs. I have a Seiko Alpinist that borrows design language from Oris. And another Seiko that looks a little like a Tudor Black Bay. And yet somehow I managed to look at myself in the mirror.
My suggestion is, don’t go too far into collecting homages and you will be fine.
As for things not to wear, I guess crocs would make my list.
Good points! It's definitely a spectrum from homage to clone. I don't think homages are all bad, if purchased for the right reasons.
Definitely agree. I began buying more watches from AliExpress from brands like San Martin for certain reasons. If I like the looks of it and it happens to be a homage I still buy it for the fact that the specs on brands like San Martin are an incredible value. My $250 San Martin has better specs than any of my $500+ watches from brands such as seiko.
Why would I buy a lesser quality watch for double or triple the price just because it’s a seiko? And like you alluded to, seiko themselves have many designs that could easily be labeled a homage watch.
The vast majority of the population is not in to watches. I’ve never ever had someone ask “Is that a black bay 58?”
Either no one says anything or someone says “that’s a nice looking watch” which I’d then respond “thanks”. No reason to try to pass it of as something it’s not. None of my friends, family, or acquaintances even know what the brand Tudor is so there’s definitely no pretending my watch is anything but the brand name that is on the dial, “San Martin”
Also I don’t have a large enough budget to go over a $1000 for a single watch and I enjoy variety so I’ll stick with my $200 San Martin rather than forking out $6k for a Tudor.
I understand people that don’t feel the same and would rather spend more money on just one piece that has heritage. Totally get why they would choose that route. But just because someone chooses a different route and buys a homage watch does not mean they are somehow pretending to be better than other people or that they are trying to play it off as the real thing.
I say buy whatever you enjoy and can afford.
My first time coming across your channel. I was watching 8 sexiest things men wear (according to women) and a thumbnail version of your video was on the side bar. Oddly similar in style advice. The woman for that video was much more appealing to look at, but you made me laugh so it was good complimentary viewing -- dolphins? lol And totally agree on the jerseys commentary. Great channel!
I clicked on this vid ready to unleash the hate and everything was spot on EXCEPT (yes there’s always an exception) your criticising cargo shorts. They can be very useful on the trails or in the city during summer when you’re rocking an urban outdoorsy outfit and need extra storage since you cannot wear a jacket and the backpack would make your back sweat.
I found your video very interesting and would only suggest a little bit more open-mindedness and less blunt opinions.
But I definitely agreed with most of your points (yes, watching sports on tv is boring most of the time)! Keep up the good work 👊🏾
Cargo pants/shorts are a must when you're on a busy errand run that takes up most of the day. You just need the extra pockets.
White-framed sunglasses and wristwatches with a white strap. Both scream frat bro, delta-bravo.
Any wristwatch over 42mm~ unless you have giant wrists (> 8").
Any wristwatch made by Invicta, MVMT, Hublot, or any designer save Cartier (Kors, Hillfiger, etc.) If you have the money to spend on a Hublot, get literally any other brand.
The last watch I bought was actually a Tommy Hilfiger. I got a very good deal on it (it was clearance priced, I had a 20% coupon that I used, and an additional 20% employee discount), but when I cracked the crystal (something I have done to most of the watches I owned), I discovered replacing the crystal was going to be more than twice what I paid for the watch. Since then, I simply use my cell phone as my watch, and since it (1) stays in my pocket most of the time, and (2) has a protective case and glass screen protector, I haven't had any problems. I *did* like the watch, and it was probably modeled on something else, but I liked the look (gunmetal silver steel band, and a blue face). I would never have tried to pass it off as anything other than a relatively inexpensive watch (despite the "designer" name), and none of my friends or peers are watch collectors or horologophiles.
Add to your list, any, ANY wristwatches that are thick! Buying one online and finding out it is thick as a hockey puck.
I mostly agree, with a couple exceptions:
1) I have some short-sleeved v-neck shirts that I really like. They're very shallow v's, nothing gross. No chest hairs poking up or anything like that. And they're muted, solid colors.
2) I actually just bought a pair of cargo shorts a few weeks ago and I really like them. Finally I have convenient places to stow my wallet, phone, keys, etc. The pockets are very flat -- not big and pouchy like they often used to be.
Nice lighthearted takes. Subscribed.
I bought a cheap ($70?) Invicta not because it's almost identical to a Rolex, but because I wanted an automatic diver. I love this thing, and don't care that it has accumulated a few scratches from everyday use. The Rolex similarity was a downside, but I decided that it was worth it.
