@@jonathanfiseha3125 aww jeez that’s such a nice compliment my man! I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel and I’m just happy to get a good group of you guys on here to get a great dialog around keeping stylish and looking cool! Much appreciated!
Ive said it before, ill say it again the best fashion Chanel Ever. Ashley Weston is my base this guy takes it to the next level. Enjoying this fashion journey.
Thanks again, bud! Yeah, I'm a fan of hers too - I like how her advice never really goes too far outside of classic and timeless - only time I've ever felt otherwise was when she was talking about wearing "fun" socks, but ya know, there'e no wrong answer if you do it well, I guess...
Oh the memories... preppy for life... The uniform as my day would call it was so easy. At Ut in Austin, I wore linen khaki shorts, blue blazer white button down and penny loafers no socks and of course rep tie. ahhh the good old days. Enjoyed
Not sure how I stumbled onto this channel but I'm so glad I found it. The pictures and narration are wonderful. Brings me back to a time when men and young men took such pride in their everyday, casual appearance.
Oh that's fantastic, I'm glad you found it! I can only imagine how that part of culture must've been such a fun experience to live through! It seems so foreign now that the casual clothing style has shifted so far from these old standards - it's funny to look at these college kids and think this was the grubbiest they could get with a closet full of such timeless, classic pieces - even at their worst, they still looked pretty cool!
One of the best menswear videos I’ve ever seen. Very well researched, great reference images, love the outfit suggestions. Subscribed! Would love to see something similar about the British country look - like ivy style, it’s something that still has a lot of relevance.
@@faranji thank you, thank you my friend! I’m so glad you suggested that - I was thinking the same thing! Great minds, I suppose 😜 but totally agreed - there’s such a strong international language of timeless style with a British country style - and you can easily pull very iconic individual pieces out and instantly recognize that reference! Much appreciated!
Fantastic video. I really enjoyed the attention you gave to this timeless style. Great job highlighting what was happening on college campuses at that time. The impact on fashion of returning GIs is rarely touched upon. The foundation of the look really being traditional pieces with a nod to English staples is spot on. This makes the style appropriate at any age. I appreciate the effort it took to put together the info and graphics for your list of 25. Great work.
@@jrandom2995 Thank you so much - I’m glad you enjoyed it! It is so interesting to learn about the culture around Ivy League style having been not always so one dimensional as just rich prep school kids and realizing this was such a standard language of school clothes for any background. And as far as the English influence - that to me always seems like the most interesting time, in that menswear started incorporate and blend all of these cultural traditions of what began to become more available to folks though the ability to travel more frequently and collect this wardrobe with diverse influences - but wasn’t yet too saturated like today’s endless choices of anything and everything. Thanks again for watching, hope to see ya again!

@SomeNotesonStyle Hey there Joseph, three weeks later and gotta say this is my favorite video on TH-cam right now. As someone who is newly getting into ivy style, I've benefited from the information in this video a lot. Thank you once again! 🙌
@@neodragonlordxonyoutube8254 aw jeez - that’s so great nice to hear! Hearing that really makes my day! I’m glad to have you on board - and there’s more to come soon!
@@AlexH06 Ha! Oh man - that’s a great idea! I listen to the podcast “with Gourley & Rust” - they have a great series they call “Yuppie Nightmares” talking about that great run of 80s/90s Yuppie thriller movies. Definitely discovered a few Yuppie gems in there I’d never seen before 😉 Thanks for watching!
I really like this video. I have just came about this site two days ago. I really love as you speak on a piece or outfit you show the correct picture. I love the historic content of the picture. Looking forward to more videos including one on shoes, hats and coats!
@@larrywilcox5282 well thank you kindly! It’s true, I always hate to watch something where the picture doesn’t quite match the description. Especially these days, there’s just so much good style imagery the world - sometimes that’s the biggest amount of research I’ll include. Thanks for the suggestions - those are fantastic topics - I’m taking a note of them for the future. Thanks again for checking out the channel!
Thanks! There’s just so much good Ivy/Prep content out there - had to really edit it down! I’ve seen Jules’ Black Ivy around, but I haven’t yet had a chance to read it through - thanks for the recommendation!
I can't wait to see a similar retrospective 60 years from now about how college kids dress today. In look 1 we see the Che Guevara T-shirt, ripped black skinny jeans paired with a Palestinian keffiyeh. For look 2 we start with a pair of grey sweat pants paired with Crocs, in Sport Mode of course for when running late across campus. Layer on a stained hoodie for warmth and top off the look with a backwards Kansas City Chiefs ball cap.
@@MCgrease08 😂😂😂😂 That’s hilarious! you speak the truth my friend! But hey - 2000s style is already popular with some, so there’s probably a lot of truth to that!
Amazing content. Surprised on how you did this all without any cuts. I also appreciated the constant picture slideshow, must've been a pain in the ass to edit aha 😂. Music is perfectly balanced and the looks are immaculate
@@samuelrapno7572 hey thanks my man! Really appreciate you picking up on all the details! Keeping those pics rolling has got to be the defining feature of my channel - I hope to keep the feeling of a mental mood board. But hearing that really makes clears up any self doubts! Thanks again, that’s very kind!
@@SomeNotesonStyle that means I've got to see all your videos now 🤯. On a more serious note it really is enjoyable, specially talking about clothes which is very visual (+ I have the attention span of a monkey as I'm used to TikTok format 🤣).
@@samuelrapno7572 Ha - well that’s great news! I really agree with you, there’s just so much content out there, now more than ever - why not just throw it all together and enjoy the blend. And I’m right there with you too on my attention span - I don’t mind if something has a slower pace, as long as what I’m looking at is interesting. Maybe that’s kind of why I try to fill the screen with a nice backdrop & lot of cool pics cause I hate watching some video where I’m just staring at some dude’s face talking for five minutes straight 😂 Thanks again, my man!
Well thank you kindly! I've got some good news & bad - I just made a video explaining I may have to take the vid down soon, cause I'm kinda walking the copyright line with some of these, since I put so many pictures in there! I'm gonna try to make a SomeNotesonStyle2 page and move 'em over there, so keep an eye out! Buuuut, I'm working on getting a Patreon going, so maybe this pdf idea would be something I'd want to throw in there as a bonus feature. Sorry to take your idea and charge for it - but that is a good one! Shoot me an email at somenotesonstyle@gmail.com and I can make a note to email you a copy once I get that going, since it was your idea!
@@alantristam9654 hey that’s a great idea - thanks for the suggestion! That’s definitely a really cool look - I used to work with those guys, they were all like the bad boy / cool guy side of the office (kind of intimidating)! But yea that’s gonna be such a great world of inspiration to uncover for sure! 👍🏼
@@your_cars_extended_warranty Aw jeez - that’s one of the nicest complements - thank you! Only been at it for a few months, so hoping to keep at it and grow that audience as it comes! Thanks for checking out my channel, bud, hope to see you again next time!
@@EnduringAttire well that’s certainly interesting to hear! I know that J. Press has had Japanese ownership for a little while. And I always would drool over Kamakura shirts when they used to have a shop in NYC - they always had the best collars! But that certainly sounds about right - those guys certainly know how take an American vibe and perfect it to be better than the original! (P.S. I’m a big fan of your channel, thanks for checking me out!)
@@williamquirk909 haha - oh man, you have got some good eyes, sir! Well to be honest, I have to kind of piece these looks together with product shots from the brand’s websites and sometimes they don’t always photograph each shoe perfectly, so I have to fib my rig. I never thought anyone would be looking at your level of detail my friend! Hope you’re enjoying the videos otherwise! 😆
So, as this seems like a proper channel to be pernickety; I'll be wondering if it was a misnomer to have two pairs of derbys pictured while talking about oxfords or is this an American terminological difference that I'm too European to understand? Anyways, a great channel and I've been enjoying your videos.
Uh oh, now I'm in for it! You are 100% right, that was my mistake. I'm always mixing up my derbys, oxfords, wingtips, and brogues. I've always been more of a loafer man myself - but I realize that there's definitely a whole world of hierarchies and distinctions there. I'm usually throwing around so many pieces when I'm making these things, sometimes I get my words and images a little off. But I'm glad you're enjoying the channel - hopefully, I won't get another style ticket! 😂
@@SomeNotesonStyle I could add some pernicketiousness (could be a word) here and say that from those four only oxford and derby are exclusionary. You can have a brogued wingtip oxford. :D
Very nice video. It summarizes a great deal of history of the American way of casual dressing. Nautical style could certainly have been discussed. I can do without the music. I always loved Ralph Lauren atyle. I have purchased chinos from Lands End for many years. I do prefer Orvis ultimate kakis now. How about a Golden Age of Hollywood discussion?
@@williamkazak469thanks for watching! I’ve never tried Orvis chinos myself, I’m always a fan of their flannel shirts in the winter. I love their outwear too, but could never afford 🫣. Good call on the Golden Age of Hollywood! As for the Nautical - check out my channel, I’ve actually got a three part series on that very topic - but word of warning, I’ve got a range of music going on, so if you find that annoying - maybe better not actually…😬😜
@@SomeNotesonStyle I just watched the three part nautical discussion videos. Excellent and well worth watching. The white jeans video is great also. Thanks for all of these videos. Much appreciated
@@williamkazak469 oh that’s great - I’m glad you enjoyed them! I really am sorry you’re not a fan of the soundtrack - is it the kind of music or you just prefer something quieter? I dunno, maybe I may be too close to it when making the video, but I sometimes hate the sound of my own voice, so I guess I just try to break it up a little. 🤔 Either way, I appreciate the feedback, my man!
I see you mention the Sperry CVO sneaker quite a bit in some of the outfit rundowns. What do you believe is the most original/classic color for the Sperry CVO?
@@saltybuckets290 yes it true - you know to be honest, I never really wear them myself, but a more often than not when we would put together looks for RL - they were always the first sneakers Ralph would ask for…I think the style of those guys kinda predates a lot of modern sneakers so they really kind of give a clean, vintage vibe to classic looks. Usually either white or navy tends to be what you would see the most in old pictures - sometimes you’d even see guys wear them with high waisted trousers or especially old tennis looks. They always kinda remind me of Howard Hughes style…
@@SomeNotesonStyle that's a very interesting insight on how Ralph would ask for them. A bit off topic, but did you directly help design for Ralph Lauren back when he was really at the helm of the company?
@@saltybuckets290 well I was there not too long ago from 2008-2017, so technically he had another CEO, etc. but believe it or not he would meet with us several times a week and that man came to work every day like everyone else! With Polo, we would work with John Wrajez as men’s design VP and then he would present to Ralph. But for Purple Label, Ralph would hand pick every fabric and detail himself! I’m sure back in the day he would do that for every brand - but he would still look over everything we did! He would kind of lisp/whisper - it felt like you were taking to the godfather! 😂
@@gordonroome well thanks, normally I would agree with you - but in the Bruce Boyer article A Curmudgeon’s Lament he called out that “trousers were cut just this side of baggy” so maybe you’re right, I crossed over too far…I guess a more well appointed student would’ve visited his tailor before each semester 😜
LL Bean has been annoying me lately with their only trim fit shirings offered, and some others might have better khakis for the price than the $200 ones.........
Maybe a little redundant if you were just going to do the capsule idea without allowing for multiple sweaters in the intro or whatever. I mean, a capsule would only be the one grey one, right? Here we can have green and red and a blue one with a logo on it, too. Yay.
What I have worn for that last 40 of my 49 years. Excellent video capturing the history and minor evolutions of the look.
My friend this channel is criminally underrated! Phenomenal historical commentary and excellent outfit combinations!

@@SomeNotesonStyle I just watched the three part nautical discussion videos. Excellent and well worth watching. The white jeans video is great also. Thanks for all of these videos. Much appreciated
@@williamkazak469 oh that’s great - I’m glad you enjoyed them! I really am sorry you’re not a fan of the soundtrack - is it the kind of music or you just prefer something quieter? I dunno, maybe I may be too close to it when making the video, but I sometimes hate the sound of my own voice, so I guess I just try to break it up a little. 🤔 Either way, I appreciate the feedback, my man!
@@SomeNotesonStyle Well it is a little loud and competes with the audio. Also, it sounds like jazz music which I never liked.
I see you mention the Sperry CVO sneaker quite a bit in some of the outfit rundowns. What do you believe is the most original/classic color for the Sperry CVO?
@@saltybuckets290 yes it true - you know to be honest, I never really wear them myself, but a more often than not when we would put together looks for RL - they were always the first sneakers Ralph would ask for…I think the style of those guys kinda predates a lot of modern sneakers so they really kind of give a clean, vintage vibe to classic looks. Usually either white or navy tends to be what you would see the most in old pictures - sometimes you’d even see guys wear them with high waisted trousers or especially old tennis looks. They always kinda remind me of Howard Hughes style…
@@SomeNotesonStyle that's a very interesting insight on how Ralph would ask for them. A bit off topic, but did you directly help design for Ralph Lauren back when he was really at the helm of the company?
@@saltybuckets290 well I was there not too long ago from 2008-2017, so technically he had another CEO, etc. but believe it or not he would meet with us several times a week and that man came to work every day like everyone else! With Polo, we would work with John Wrajez as men’s design VP and then he would present to Ralph. But for Purple Label, Ralph would hand pick every fabric and detail himself! I’m sure back in the day he would do that for every brand - but he would still look over everything we did! He would kind of lisp/whisper - it felt like you were taking to the godfather! 😂
Screenshot those outfits and you’ll be well dressed for the rest of your life.
@@florakis 😂😂 Nice call! Heck, maybe I should make a big .pdf one of these days for a cheat sheet!
The 24 examples you showcase are fine but are let down by the dreadful trousers which in each instance are too wide and baggy.
@@gordonroome well thanks, normally I would agree with you - but in the Bruce Boyer article A Curmudgeon’s Lament he called out that “trousers were cut just this side of baggy” so maybe you’re right, I crossed over too far…I guess a more well appointed student would’ve visited his tailor before each semester 😜
Ah, to afford J Press and Ben Silver primarily?
LL Bean has been annoying me lately with their only trim fit shirings offered, and some others might have better khakis for the price than the $200 ones.........
I will pretty much skip the loafers.
oh, ye finally got corduroy trousers in there, but also don't forget the cord sport jacket possibly.
I still prefer blue trousers to tan for some pairings.
Maybe a little redundant if you were just going to do the capsule idea without allowing for multiple sweaters in the intro or whatever. I mean, a capsule would only be the one grey one, right? Here we can have green and red and a blue one with a logo on it, too. Yay.
