Real Men Real Style Hello Antonio, great video.
When I have my shirts tailored made, my tailor always asks me about the collar, and I never know what to say. The only thing I know is that I don’t like Button Down Button Collar (which seems you love).
Greetings from Colombia South America.
Great video Antonio, this one you nailed it pretty good i have to say.
Real Men Real Style I found out I needed my first suit today. Thanks for the video.
Leosedf - Thank you!
John - Glad to hear that!
Appreciate that you need to make a living...but not a great watch...don’t buy it gentleman...Vincero is just not a quality watch for the $...look at Seiko, Oreint Citizen....for Swiss Tissot, Swatch...big fan Sir but that is not a good watch choice...Sorry...

Saw this beautiful tuxedo coat at a thrift, had to buy it since it matched my needs for what I want my tux to look like. I mean, come on, I looked like I spent thousands when I only paid 4 bucks lol

Antonio. I have been following your advise and videos for quite sometime now. I work in a Financial Institution environment where business attire is strongly encouraged. Normally I would wear just dress pants and shirts with a tie. However as of late, I've incorporated blazers, tie bars, pocket squares and watches to my wardrobe and the results have been quite astonishing. I've received so many complements and interest from the opposite sex. The way people approach me has even been noticeable. I even had a young women tell me that i look like someone that has it all figured out and that if i was not married she would make me date her!!! Attitude is everything, I look and feel good and people pick up on that. Thank you for everything you do for this community!!! Keep it up!!
Well done Rene!
Did you have a specific watch style in mind?
Real Men Real Style Yes, The Kiaros white/silver with the tan croc band is a very clean watch that I have been interested in. The simplistic design of this watch screams luxury. Love it.
Real Men Real Style Thank You!!
Nice choice. Curious - where are you located? How did you find this channel?
The holy grail of mens fasion for formal look. Truely best video.Covered All. Thanks and keep it up man.
Antonio, love your videos! 19 currently, and I really have upgraded my style (and personality) from "Modern Edgy Child" to "I'm mature and I mean business" since I'm a Freelancer programmer. You're really helping! Thanx again. Keep it up!
I was hoping you would get to comments on pricing. Obviously, pricing is relative and subjective, but I'd be interested in your opinion. What's the difference between a $500 suit and a $1500 suit ? Are famous designers always the way to go ? Are any of the menswear chains such as Mens Wearhouse worth buying from ?
Fabric quality, full canvas vs half canvas, surgeon's cuffs, stuff like that. Though honestly, for $1500 I'd just buy an airline ticket to Thailand. Not only you can spend a nice holiday there but they can make you a very decent bespoke suit for $400-ish. It might sound like a joke but I'm serious, it's a much better use of your money.
Excellent for beginners. There is probably nothing that isn't covered in other videos, but it summarises very well the essential information for those in a hurry. It's a pity that this material isn't appreciated by the viewers - less than 100k views after more than a year. But I hope sooner or later this video becomes a classic.
Literally bought a tan/cream suit for my highschool graduation some months back. I was the the only one with such a colour and made me stand out, got some compliments, joked about it with me classmates. It just made the day more memorable.
While looking back now I think a more neutral colour would have worked better in the long run, that suit served me fantastically for the occassion.
So in short, from an 18 year old who literally only has a single suit and is just now trying to move towards a more formal style (might be cause I feel obliged to now that I'm studying law), just get what you want most and you will enjoy wearing it the most.
Antonio, you have, yet again, done young men a true service with this video. Some may say it is conservative, but you have given men, especially young men with the ambition to make their way in the world, information that will serve them well. One of your best!
This video truly is the Ultimate Guide!
I’m buying my first “adult suit” on my own this weekend and this was JUST what I needed. Now I am confident I will walk in/out of that store with a proper suit.
Thank you!
Would it be possible to do a video on leather jacket tailoring and talk about what can and cannot be adjusted on a leather jacket and how much each adjustment costs roughly?
+Zachary Wheeler Good idea! Thanks Zachary
Real Men Real Style Im going to ping you a message whats your thoughts on tench coats? really love the old school trench coats from the 90s. Watching the x files and loving the black and grey trench coats the agents throughout the earlier series.
Do all the suits have little freedom of movement in the arms, like the armpits level stuck? For example, you can't move the arms to the sides at 90 degrees with your body without the whole suit rising... on the contrary, as if you can with a shirt and t-shirt..... please help
Ps: and torso looks good like in 2:41
I'm in my 40's and just got my first real suit made to my measurements from Indochino. The only "suit" I have with everything I've always wanted, double vents, working cuff buttons, and I get amazing compliments. Thanks for all the advice! It's helped me dress mite intentionally.
Thnx. Ur Awsm... Love From India 🇮🇳
Appreciate the love - Cheers Ajay from India!
@9:14 that guy looks like a paper grocery bag
Great great video! Wish I had this when I was thinking about my first suit in my 20s. Even so the details in this video can still apply those of us later in life. Thank you!
This is probably your most comprehensive video ever. It has the most important details of every aspect of a formal dressing. Definitely something to favorite and keep handy for future reference.
Thank you, Antonio!
+Guillermo Cervera Indeed. Thanks for watching.
Guillermo - Did you have a specific watch in mind?
Hey Antonio thanks alot I really appreciate it!
I follow some rules of this topic and feel like a BOSS 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
This guy knows it inside out. Very informative!
I just bought my very first suit (Jacket) last night for $29.99 :)
'The Kings of Comedy' could have used your help 20 years ago.
So, I recently bought one of Vincero's watches as a Christmas present for myself. It took them 3 weeks to deliver it to me in Germany (with FedEx Premium shipping). On their customs declaration they wrote, that the watch had only cost $60, instead of $160... Now this would've been easily taken care of, if the support was a little more responsive, in the end it felt like I had to teach them how international shipping works. I have it now, it's an awesome watch and definitely worth it's price tag, but not really worth the headache...
Luca - Thanks for the heads up. I understand your frustration - will forward this to the Vincero team.
Just a bit of advice, for that price you could actually get a mechanical timepiece from a reputable watchmaker such as Seiko or Orient. If you prefer a quartz watch, get a Citizen or Timex as the quality control of fashion watches such as Vincero is very poor. Just speaking from experience here.
First, I love how you went over everything piece by piece. It's very helpful. Following is both my question and a watch pairing with my 1st suit to be.
1) Something I'd like to know is what knots to wear and WHEN to wear each. I've read your article for "4 tie knots every man must know" and saw your new bow tie video. I understand that the collar and proportions may play a part of the knot choice. I understand that bow ties are formal and the full Windsor portrays power such as CEO or a president. What about the other important knots?
2) The following is regarding my first suit I want to purchase and the watch I like. I'm just starting out in my style journey and
so I would really like to purchase the navy blue jacket with traditional collar and slacks as my first. I like it better than the dark gray. Only two buttons up front is perfect.
The white button up shirt with a deep dark red silk tie would be bold yet attractive.
These would go very nicely with my brand new dark brown Chelsea boots that I just bought. I love those so much.
Accessorizing with the Vincero watches, the Chrono S matte black and The Bellwether matte black would both look nice. Both are very attractive and compliment this first outfit well. Choosing just one to wear, I really like the Chrono S the best. I actually like both but it just seems to have a sight edge in my preference.
I go into more detail here: www.realmenrealstyle.com/search-results/?q=tie%20knots
Which of the two watch styles is your favorite?
Curious - where are you from? How did you find this channel?
Real Men Real Style
Hi Antonio,
I apologize for the late response.
To answer your questions, I currently live in Seattle, Washington. I've been following your channel for a few months now. I honestly don't remember where exactly I found your channel although it's during my efforts to reinvent myself after a recent tragedy. I'm learning alot from you and the books I'm reading thus I'm determined to be successful.
Regarding your previous question, the Chrono S Matte Black is my favorite of the two time pieces.
Congratulations Jp Jp! Winner :) Kindly send your contact details here: www.realmenrealstyle.com/contact/
(Don't forget to include your TH-cam name)
Vincero???? HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAJAJAJAJAHAJAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
ok, you have a good marketing skill. i tried so hard not to skip the ads, although i'm in a bad time.
Thank you Antonio. I enjoyed your video. Your smart use of visuals, great pacing, voice clarity, and mastery of your subject makes this an exceptional presentation!
Wow, the most coherent and quality video I've seen on suits, especially for beginners like me, young men who are new to formal clothing like me. Thank you Antonio.
amazing guide for rookies who are thinking of buying suit... well done on the video👍
0:57
Ah yes... The legendary Triforce of style...
Antonio, thank you for your wonderful videos! I'm 59, and work at a local radio station, covering ag news. I've always worn at least a shirt & tie at work, even though others I work with don't. When I cover events, I wear a suit & tie, or at least a blazer with a tie. Again, thank you for sharing!
According to psychology, a 3 button suit is no good for business as it exposes less of your chest which people subconsciously perceive as a sign of dishonesty.
Plus it's DATED in my opinion.
Really depends on your build, some people are better suited to a 3-button, some (most, to be more precise) are better suited to a 2-button.
A 3roll2 type of 3 button suit ( the type that the top button is rolled so you button the middle one ) is actually really nice, when it's colder outside, you can button up the top button, otherwise you could button only the middle one. Good 3 button jackets tend to have this lapel roll that allows this to happen naturally, and it doesn't look dated, if you think otherwise, just check pitti uomo, all italians are doing it lol
bro hammer you are looking into this way to hard. Your chest and dishonesty have nothing to with each other. I hope you dont say things like that to people in real life.
I love the 3 button. Totally '30s-'50s.
Me too bro :D
Very helpful video Antonio
thank u very much😂✌✨❤(I'm a girl and I thought that this video was really helpful)
Hi Antonio,
first of all you give the best styling tips and I really like your videos and articles.
i am a 22 years old student from Germany. The black watch is my favourite. For my sister's wedding this summer, I am going to buy a navy suit.
I am thinking about a three piece suite, because of the location. It's going to be in Turkey and I want to take of my jacket but still look better then others (this part depends on price). A white shirt with a solid dark colored tie should be the best. Black shoes, black socks and a white pocket square and it is on point.
The watch would round off the hole outfit.
Greetings from Germany 🙂
Vincero is SUPER overpriced for what You get. Especially considering I can get an automatic Orient leather strap watch for about $140. I do not recommend spending over $100 on a fashion watch.
You probably need a moore informal suite to, you don't whant to be totaly overdressed all the time. I like a shark skin (pin point) that is durable. Buy the vest as well. And I prefere 3 button, less tie show off. Maybee an extra pair of pants.
I constantly see men in casual suits. Though down here in Australia, if they're dressed for business, they have no clue what to wear. Flat front slim pants way beneath the waist creating a stuffed sausage look (belly hanging over and forcing down the pants), paired with square front/toe shoes. Kind of makes them look like a platypus in a sleeping bag.
Love the way you described it
I've got a question, I bought a black sport coat a few years ago. It fit well on my shoulders, chest, and back however it was a little loose around my waist. I took it to a tailor and asked her to tighten up the waist but to leave the upper portion of the coat alone as it already fit well. When I got it back I noticed that she tightened up the waist perfectly but she also tightened up the upper back and now there are small ruffles on my upper back when I wear the suit. It isn't bad but it bothers me, can I bring it to a tailor and have them open back up just that part of the suit or am I going to need to buy a new one?
I was able to get the 3 essential color suits at the local megamall on sale: buy 1 get 2 free. I couldn't pass it up. Got the suits tailored and 3 shirts for over $600.
21 minutes felt like 3, thank you for your help
Nice video. I will show it to my husband 👍👍👍
Sounds great!
Nicer way to say: "my husband has no style" lmao
I have prom in 6 months and I am going for a light grey suit cus I am a pale blonde guy and I think the color looks best on me , am I thinking wrong , should I still do it ?
Depends on the dress code for your prom. If a lounge suit is appropriate, then yes, a light grey suit would work well worn with a white shirt (I assume you're matching the contrast in fabrics to the contrast level between your skin and hair) for you. If the dress code is black tie, then theoretically no, but the chances are lots of other people will ignore the dress code as well.
+Tarik Sadiku What's the dress code? Make sure to coordinate with your date as well.
I would love to wear suits but they're pretty impractical here im the tropics especially simce the average temperature here is 28-30°C
Ricardo Guinto Try out summer/tropical fabrics such as linen or cotton. They are thin and breathable.
Also, choose lighter colors, since they tend to reflect instead of absorb the sun.
Exactly! And there are fabrics that are best worn for the hot weather.
I wear suits and I live in the Philippines. Just keep your aircon on. And yes, lighter fabrics. No need for Italian wool.
I really appreciate that you explained everything I’d need to know about suits 😊
Vincero watches (pronounced vinchero) look great, but the quality isn't great. Chinese made.
I wish I saw this earlier i bought 3 suits for $125 because i though it was a deal.
Great video. I personally like my shirts to be interesting. I have worn burgundy, green, pink, black. I have a white shirt but I must've used it only once. Of course, most of those uses were for weddings, 'xcept one job interview -- which I didn't get, but for other reasons!
Video is as excellent as ever
It's nice that you've put everything to one video
I've been following you for a long time
Since I started follow you my style has improved greatly
And people even began to react favorably to the way I dress.
I'm an engineering student, and from where I am,people do not dress up.
so it feel very good to be the best dresser in class.
I just start to go to a job interviews so it would be nice if i get a new watch like THE CHRONO S
BLUE/BLACK
Shakked - Super! Have a great 2018.
Don't buy vincero watches. They're massively overpriced for what you get. Buy a Seiko, Orient or Timex instead (a Hamilton or Tissot if you have a bit of a higher budget)
I love the Kairos in White and Gold but it's too expensive for me right know. I'd pair it with either my light grey suit or my sky blue suit!
How are you doing Isaac? Didn't expect to see you here on TH-cam, but of course if you're in FB you should be here lol
I'm pretty good myself, kinda sick right now though. Yeah I watch like all the videos but I rarely comment since I'm always on Facebook.
Hello Antonio I would like to ask your opinion on having a charcoal grey vs a solid black suit for a funeral ceremony? I have never purchased a suit before however my grandfather recently passed away and I must return to Los Angeles for his memorial. The venue will be in a 4-star restaurant, my grandfather's previous place of employment, with multiple high level attendees which use to be my grandfather's clientele. I would like to ensure I dress appropriately being a family member of the deceased, however I am not completely sure if the custom of solid black can be slightly modified. Thank you for the input!
I’m so clueless! Just turned 49 and need to revamp everything. My only need fo a suit is funerals and maybe weddings. Have owned them in the past but they shrunk. 😉 I have expensive taste on a much lighter budget. Where would you suggest for a good quality but not overly expensive suit.
I am 5,7 but I played rugby for years so my shoulders are too broad and my arms too thick for my height. So I bought this suit that fitted my shoulders perfectly but the arms were too long, as per usual. Because they could take enough from the end they said they could adjust it by taking some length from the top of the sleeve. The problem now is that they way they did it now the arm part of the shoulder is way too tight and then pad looks like a dragon ball armour 😂🤌
Hi @RealMenRealStyle I love the look of eggsy and harry in kingsman the golden circle but how can i wear something like that to school is that to formal or do you have tips or know something else that will be better i hope you respond🔥🙌🏿 I live in The netherlands so whe dont have to wear suits almost nobody does that at school also teachers dont wear suits😅
I'm going to a lilac colored theme wedding. This will be my first suit purchase im thinking a navy suit with brown double monks. What say you?
I love floral suits, I have dozens of solids, but I love the floral!! Whats your take on floral suits? Like-if so why? Dislike-if so why? Thanks
1:06
Antonio: Hold your horses guys
Me: very poor choice of words
Antonio's video guides are indeed very helpful, but if you go to a watch guy's channel, you'll hear vinceros are overrated. If you go to a shoe guy, you'll hear that Paul Evans (another of his sponsors) are overpriced.
I became a warehouse manager recently. I was a team leader and shipping recieving manager first. So i always wore polos and nice pants. Now the big bosses are telling me i need to buy a couple suits and start dressing the part. Some of the suits and shoes ive looked at seem pretty..idk fancy? Never had to wear a real suit before...any tips for a new guy?
This video helped me so much! I'm about to buy my first suit. This guy doing the video is a real winner!
Hi Antonio, how many pair of suits one should have if one is in a business profile? Also how many times can you wear a pair before dry cleaning it?
Thanks
A trouser press? Not an iron right? Have to check whether I'll get it in India or else will have to import. By the way the ox blood shoes is not there on Ace Marks where can I get that?
Vincero watches? Is this a joke? They are cheap fashion watches, a complete joke. You lost all credibility with that promo!
Shame how my tailored suit doesn`t fit me right anymore because I lost so much weight in quarantine. My pants are now in a hip-hop artist fit and I look like I`m a kid wearing dad`s cloths. Tailoring it again or even buying a new one costs so much and if I regain weight I`m screwed. I`m not that angry since it`s way better than gaining weight but gaining weight also costs tons of time and money.
What about someone who has to buy off the rack , doesn't have the option of a taylor , and has long arms or short arms ? What would be the fix for guys like that ? Or say in pants you need an odd size for proper fit and cant find it , 31 , 33, 37 ?
Vincero watches? What’s next on your recommendation? Sketchers dress shoes?
Lot of information, very helpful. Thank you Sir.
Have / can you go over mature styles for men with salt and pepper (actually red) bearded look?
Men. Such a different attitude from women. I don't understand why being rememberable is bad. Maybe other men won't remember you wore the same blue suit everyday for a week if it lacks a pattern.
Great video and lots of useful info, but my heart sunk when you mentioned Vincero.... for shame!
I doubt you wear watches made in China
What would one wear as a young realtor is a hot climate such as Miami? The market would be higher end. It doesn't have to be a suit but I would like to look sharp so I don't want to settle for just a button down and khaki pants.
Hello Antonio I am a 36 chest 6’ young (18 to be exact) I also am on the thinner side being 155 pounds. I love suits and have a suit already (although black) and have a faint blue plaid blazer. I am getting another suit but my question is would a Double Breasted work well with my frame and overall suggested. I have always loved the look of a double breasted suit coat and have saved up to ensure I get one that properly fits at all aspects and well made. Would you you suggest this and would you think based off of what I have said would work with a 36 Chest frame?
Chris S. I think a DB suit is a great choice regardless of your build but you have to make sure it creates almost an "hourglass" stilhoulette which means getting it properly tailored
Miłosz Zolich Thank You for the reply
Yo Im only 14 but you guys are so amazing I really like suits they make me confident so thank you for this!
My first suit I bought last year its a plain white because I like the look and style of the disco type vibe it gives off. I wear it to whatever i need it for thats not professional but I’m a Teen so I don’t need to look professional for now
Not many talk about the height of the button and. Another important factor is the point where the legs of the trousers come together on the inside. I found that most jackets do not come below this point as it looks weird when you close the jacket.
Which colour of shirts and watch will look great with charcoal grey suit....????
Can you ask hiring managers if they actually rejected a top candidate for the position because of their dress?
Hi thanks for the tips I live in Idaho what's the best place to find a tailor that will make it right for you and what about girls suits for a party or wedding
Im a 5'6 guy weighing about 250 what size suit should I be looking to buy
Great job. Takes some effort to keep holding those jackets and shirts up....
I know a guy that has an all purple suit and a purple top hat. He only wears it with a black bowtie. He is a god among men.
The black/ silver Chrono S would go really well with the charcoal suit I'd wear to really any events that I'm wearing that suit, or when I perform with my school band in our all black band uniform. Because of how few men wear watches, I think a beautiful watch like the Chrono S would really set me apart from other applicants when I go for my interview for the Canadian Forces in a few weeks. And informative as always with the content
Robert - Good choice!
Thank you for teaching me how to be a man. My dad never taught me how to be one.
A man isn't what he wears it's what his actions and personality are
I relate a lot to this
What color is good for funerals? I'm going for black. Is that a good choice?
I would stay away from spread collars and herringbone for a 1st shirt.
You are the best youtuber!! Thank you for making the best content on TH-cam !! I love your videos!
Keep going and have an amazing day! !!!!!!
I am from Romania and here people aren't so stylish ... they need you :)
Hey Alexey - thank you for the kind words! :)
Alexey - Did you have a specific watch in mind?
Real Men Real Style No , I do not.
did not*
A black vincero watch would be awesome
Absolutely everything I needed to know! As always an excellent video! Thank you very much!
For a mans first necktie I reckon you can't do much better than a grenadine in navy or burgundy. The former might be the most versatile tie ever but is still perfect in formal events. btw, antonio. I have a pair of very dark brown, plain captoe balmoral boots. they look pretty much exactly like captoe oxfords when I wear them with trousers but of course they have the ankle shaft area. do you think I can get away with wearing them with a conversative suit? i.imgur.com/fdqdpXk.jpg thanks :]
i am curious, what is so wrong with having memorable clothing?
Regarding watches, I just wear my Omega 300M with everything. Had it on daily for 13 years but it feels right.
Come on. Stop it with the Vinceiro crap
best video yet!
You rock - thanks Rochak!
Sir make a video on how to choose suit for 50+age men.
Now I know what a cuff link actually does!
