This channel was meant for guys like me. I'm 42 this yr, married father of 2 and my wardrobe has not really changed in 10 yrs, save for the size on the label. Like a lot of guys I was stylish once upon a time (and a gym rat) but I kind of gave up over the years. Gaining weight led to buying less and less flattering clothes until I just said screw it. I'm currently getting back in shape and I fully plan on shredding almost every single piece of clothing I have when I get to my fitness goals and this channel has been a huge inspiration and motivator. The old saying "if you look good, you feel good" cannot be understated, and while I'm happy in general I'm looking foreword to feeling good again too.
I have been there too and have come out the other side feeling - and looking - like a new man with my self-esteem rejuvenated. You will get there too. Good luck!👍
I'm a younger fellow trying to start adult life with style because I think the younger generation(s) dress incredibly sloppily and lazily. Sweatshirts and plaid Pajama pants are not a timeless style!
@@chipmonkey7266 Spot-on! With a mindset like that, and a style channel like this, you will stand head and shoulders above your slovenly-dressed peers for all of the right reasons. If your wardrobe budget is tight, don't be afraid to buy pre-worn quality labels at thrift store prices on market places like eBay. It is what I do and nobody knows except me. My friends think I shop premium in London's Jermyn Street!😊
"Gentleman, that diamond is YOU. Go out there and shine!" - the ending is so inspirational, and its delivery is perfect. Thank you, Antonio. If we ever meet in Ukraine, I'd like to shake hands with you.
I remember watching fantastic four and rise of silver surfer and getting inspired by Reed Richards formal sweater look before the bachelors party. And when I had money I knew what to buy then
Who are you? A guy who has been doing this for nearly 10 years. A guy who has experience in this. I can take your opinion or no. Most of the time, I find your opinion works. I like timeless more and more than trendy. I am in my 50s, now. Timeless and classic work so much better for me. I like the styles by Carey Grant and Thomas Shelby (not the lifestyle, of course).
Your so right in my 50's if there is a new color in Athletic and and Casual, I buy just to add to my collection regardless of the color is isn't the most popular. I wear Adidas shoes and socks and in the last 2 months I've been adding Adidas shirts to my wardrobe. In the 80's and 90's the Adidas Trefoil was a major brand logo. Adidas makes T-Shirts with the Trefoil logo. It's so classy and trendy at the same time. Regardless of each decade the Trefoil design never went out of fashion.
I like the methodical approach here. Lists of must-have pieces are useless nowadays, because stores are full of crap, and store employees, when you can find them, don’t know much.
An inspiring video as always. I would like to contribute on oral health part of the video as a dentist. Do not use mouthwashes regularly, especially the alcohol based ones. They are going to dry your mouth and disrupt your oral bacterial flora which is critical for your oral health. Just use a tooth brush of your choice (medium hardness), an toothpaste that contains fluoride and a tongue scraper. And use your brush dry, do not wet your brush before starting. Have a great day.
Every man should have a suit in his wardrobe, even if he doesn't expect to wear it often. Finding yourself without a suit to wear when something comes up is a rotten feeling. I've only worn my suit a handful of times in the years that I've owned it, but I never thought, "I probably should've bought something else with that money"
this really is the best mens channel! very tasteful! not as loud as alpha M and not as classical as gentemens gazette. Although they both have some good video. But this channel! really is the best. And i like your demeanor so much!
Wish I could adhere to these simple rules. I’m not too far behind you Antonio as I have at least 100 dress shirts, 20+ suits, 10+ dress shoes and probably won’t stop adding to that! So I’m good for the next 275 years!! Appreciate all of the videos and advice.
I think no one could ever go wrong with standard colors: Shoes: White, black, brown Pants: Black, dark blue Shirts: White, light blue, navy jackets: grey, navy owning these will set you apart from your peers
Fellow Marine here and I'm very grateful for your expert insights so that I can present myself professionally in order to make more money for my family. Most days I'm just in cargo pants and my unit hoodies that my kids have spilled food on, but sometimes I need to weaponize my presented appearance when a professional business meeting comes along. Thank you for your help! If you ever want to do a boots to business cammies to suit makeover, I'm your perfect target for it 🤣 Also, I haven't seen you discuss it yet but what are your thoughts on collar pins? In my business suit I wear my US flag/USMC flag pin both for flair but also if they served or were also a Marine that we have an immediate connection point.
I love that quote, “steal like an artist”. I read a book on this exact topic, and it was about how nothing is original anymore and that it’s okay to steal inspiration from anywhere as along as you make it your own. I find a lot of people try to make everything from scratch whether it be a website, program, sweater, or painting, and it’s always this long and drawn out process, where if you just copied someone else’s work and changed it enough to not be recognizable but it’s your own, then you can be successful.
Great video Antonio. Learned in the military to dress sharp and practice until it becomes second nature. Self pride in how you look makes a difference to you inside and out.
I do like that mate, hence why I consider myself minimalist.... two colours, 3 brands Lacost, RL and HB for the day to day life😉 by the way I don't dress for woman but to please myself, used to have huge expensive wardrobe... its a long story, bad affair...
One rule that you and alpha M teach that I've broken to my benefit is the military tuck rule. I think tucking a shirt with some fabric hanibg over is a better look, widens the frame and overall makes you look more attractive.
I was appointed to a leadership position in my church last year and have had to go back and rebuild my wardrobe to look the part and represent my office well. Thanks for the helpful suggestions.
Our shoppe has a small team (3, just) with a combined 37 years of experience between us. I've got a significant dress wardrobe, because it's literally 5 days a week, we still do ties, and I both sell and sew. Everyone is involved in how things are displayed, and have input on what we carry and what we focus on. We've gone from a fully formal, very niche location to a near half split between casual and dress. I love vests, patterns, and shoes / boots, and I enjoy that more timeless looks are always in season. It never feels like we're too dominated by one off, shortlived trends. Because there is that input. Green is ALWAYS asked for, but there are a lot of companies siding with really awful shades of green. To the point we've limited what we bring in. On blues and whites, absolutely. Micro herringbone white in navy and pale grey are my two go tos. Along with micro stripes, and the occasional burst of red or purple. Having options is great, unless you have too many choices. For me, I plan my wardrobe two weeks in advance (for work, which, again, is more formal). I have 30 shirts, 20 of which get worn in a month. What doesn't get worn gets shuffled to the front. If I pass on that piece 3 months in a row, it's gone. It's wasting space, wasting time in my mindset, and clearly isn't something I'm overly attached to. Unless it's something I only wear around Christmas time, or maybe something bolder for New Years. I have 5 pairs of dress shoes, 5 pairs of dress boots, and 5 or 6 pairs of casual shoes. In the fall and spring, it's boots. In the winter and summer, it's shoes (and shoes with covers if the weather calls for it, naturally). One pair of dress shoes for each day of the week. I typically get 150-200 wears out of a pair before they might get re-soled with leather soles or 250-300 with synthetic. Still, that's NOT 50 wears a year. That's 25. Meaning they tend to last 4+ years EACH. Naturally, when one gets worn down enough, I tend to cycle it out and replace it, but I find dress wear can be a big cost to set up everything and then you're good for a long while OR you start with a half dozen key pieces and slowly build something more substantial. It's definitely not the wardrobe I would suggest anyone start with, and while I do have thousands of options with everything, I don't feel compelled to highlight one over any other. You get your favorites, but that's bound to happen. I like forcing myself to try different combinations, and find those are the times I get the most compliments. The big thing I'd say to anyone building either dress or casual first is start timeless. Once you have your base, add something trendy every so often, a pop of something that's a bit more adventurous. If you layer timeless with trendy, skewing heavily towards the former, you'll eventually start to see the older, trendy pieces return to prominence. Or that funky pocket square ended up being your go to splash of color in an otherwise monotone outfit. That vibrant scarf really pulled a winter look together. Maybe a quirky pair of socks added just the right amount of personality to your chino, v-neck, and overshirt look. I like to think a guy could go back to that chunky knit sweater, maybe dressing up some jeans with boots.
I wear a uniform at work and when I’m home I’m usually working around the house . So I don’t have much of a weekly need for nicer clothing although I do enjoy wearing nicer clothing. My opportunities are limited to holidays, weddings, rare nights out or anytime I’m sure I’m not in danger of snagging, tearing, getting paint on my nicer clothing.
I’m in he same boat as you. My wife and I do a dress for dinner night. We eat a bit later in the evening. Then sit on the deck with coffee or drinks. I have kids if they are home also expected to dress up a bit.
Nice video! In terms of copying celebrity styles, it's easier to borrow from the celeb's more relaxed moments rather than copy their most formally posed images.
Great video, Antonio! On your note of first impressions, I agree that we should treat styles that are different that what we are used to with an open mind. Being a retail worker and chasing shoplifters for 3 years taught me to be vigilant, and there are a few small details that I picked up on can certainly raise red flags. Granted, we had plenty of paying customers who (to put it bluntly) did not appear to be the traditional patrons of a fine men's clothing store, so I quickly learned how to be supervision/surveillance, but friendly at the same time. I also have something to add to "Practice makes Perfect:" I remember a time when I was in Portland Youth Philharmonic, and we (the trombone section) were in a section rehearsal led by a professional trombonist. He told us, "Practice doesn't make Perfect, Practice makes PERMENANT (so let's practice perfectly, please)." Don't just wear your new hat around the house; put on an OCBD, jeans, and a nice pair of dress shoes/boots to get a feel for the different outfits in which you can implement your new piece!
I'm all into about dressing sharp, whatever the occasion. Nowadays away from offices, my dressing requirements are simply casual, and when I play gigs I try several outfit combinations the days before. I want something that's comfortable to wear onstage and in the aftershow, that adapts to the weather indoors and outdoors, and that brings out my vibe outside from my "INTJ" personality type.
I am 42 years old and genuinely don't like how I dress. I mostly wear trainers, jeans and a band/graphic t-shirt usually with a zip up hoodie. When I was younger (before kids and when I had a social life) I dressed much better and had a better wardrobe. Like someone else who commented of a similar age to me, I am in the process of losing weight and getting back in shape and I'd like to make more of an effort with how I dress. Should you happen to read this comment, do you have any advice of what someone could wear who works in tech, sits at a desk all day, doesn't often see clients, but who wants to escape the trappings of the "checked shirt" or "hoodie" that is often seen as part of the uniform. Love the content. Liked and hereby subscribed!
Very inspiring, thank you. It's very true what you say if you put the effort into being the best version of yourself. People will take notice. I've seen the difference. take a bit of pride in one's self. You'll look and feel like a boss. Inspired thank you sir.
Excellent vid, Antonio. I especially like your directive about "practice dressing sharp." I've built some revelatory insights in front of the mirror -- trying on pieces, integrating what works, and discarding what doesn't. I've always been a strategic dresser -- each outfit to match the occasion. I know why I need to wear what I wear and what impression I strive to make. I call it "aspirational dressing." And I believe in the concept of enclothed cognition: performance is tied to appearance. Arriving at my core wardrobe (the go-to garments) has taken time and patience. I've paid a boatload of school dues along my style journey. After much trial and error, I'm still trying to get it right. I'm always learning, evaluating, and experiencing.
I find it helps to figure out which outfits make you feel the best and then lean into that. Find your uniform first and then make small variations in color, formality, etc.
I’m 19 and kinda lacked a father figure in life so I’ve never known how to dress. I’m moving soon so I’m looking to kinda reinvent my self with a new style that I like because all of these stores are way to confusing. Thank you for the videoed! :)
Always appreciate these updated videos. They make for an amazing review to measure how progress has been made after starting to follow these videos. Which tips have paid off and which to start working on next.
Great content, Antonio. I've been watching your videos for a few years now, and it has helped me greatly with finding a style and building a wardrobe that fits me (physically and personality-wise). A few good-enough, well fitting clothing goes a long way. I work in behavioural health and the power of perception is often overlooked. I receive compliments from coworkers and patients quite often on my clothing and appearance. In public, people treat me as "important." These compound on each other where: I look good, then feel good, am acknowledged and raise people's opinion of me (generally), gain confidence, repeat the cycle. I am currently overweight and losing some it, so I have lower-budget, decent quality Amazon Oxford shirts and chinos in the range of $20-25 per piece. Traditional business/smart casual style in earthy tones to compliment my complexion. A few pieces that can be combined in various ways. Nothing fancy.
The next level is to follow whatever works for you and ignore whatever anyone else tells you. This is when your style is your own and others will recognize you as an individual icon!
Trust me when I say that having a wide choice of jeans is a blessing, especially when all you can find are either skinny jeans as tight as yoga pants or construction worker jeans.
I do the 3-5/5-7 rule. Have 3 to 5 diffrent suits, have like 5-7 pairs of shoes. Think of your environment, your job, and what you like to wesr when you just go outside. Some choice but you waredrobe shouldnt look like the inside of the gucci store.
I've counted and I could wear a different outfit for a whole year... or almost. But clothes and styling is a hobby of mine so I've gone completely over board. I wear ties to work even though my colleagues wear Mickey Mouse and Star Wars t-shirts. I just want to dress up because it makes me feel good. It's half of the fun going to work. I would become depressed if I couldn't dress up. One of my siblings used to work for a tie store so I've gotten around 80 ties, 40 pocket squares, several lapel pins and much more for free. I can mix and match every combination I want to.
Thanks for the video. Interestingly, slim, straight, and classic styles of pants in various waist sizes exist, but we can't get leg lengths in 29", 31" 33", etc. With online purchasing, short runs of these in-between leg lengths would be possible.
I person can shop little by little so men to tight budgets only need to shop one outfit once a week. I have an Adidas budget about $300 not including shoes, but it will take about to compete. I don't want go in debt so I shop within a budget. What sucks shopping weekly it's Walmart has this color I'll buy it next week and while your there you get this and that and still go over budget.
In this video, there is a book on the shelf behind your right shoulder. It looks like a comic book that has been graded and placed in a protective case by Comics Guaranty Corporation. Is it?
Another series has 2; one on getting started & another about being budget friendly. Two things I remember: 1. look in thrift shops of nice neighborhoods (guys get fat or widows will dump whole wardrobes) 2. For a foundation piece (suit, overcoat or shoes) invest in the best you can afford; if you get an $800 suit & it lasts12 years, that is cheaper than spending $150 every other year. Make sure it is a classic style, not just trendy.
Your vedios are great I learned so much from them , I was wondering if you can make a vedio about analyzing and going in details about hair style of 1 Harvey specter (suits) 2 Elijah Mikaelson ( the vampire diary & the originals) 3 Barney Stinson ( how I met your mother ) A vedio related to then like you did style analysis of James bond etc.
I have a very important question to ask that I can't find a video on and I'm wondering if you will do it. I went to Walmart today and bought Adidas Body Spray. It's not something you will over but because you use cologne. I have no idea when it's need when to wear it and wear to apply it. In Florida I want smell good all time but without smelling like an entire perfume counter. This is marked as perfum. Anyway I applied it under my arms, on spray on the chest, behind the ears and black of the neck. It didn't seem to last after I applied it. This is isn't body spray deodorant. It's marked as body spray fragrence. So like if your outside for like a lunch or a walk you sweat do this like you use this a quick use before you can get cleaned up again. Instead of a second shower I use cleaning wipes but without soap body it doesn't work by water and ingresdients alone because my arm pits is still there. Lime Green is in for 2023 it's color clothing I bought today at Walmart. It will always work in Florida as a pastel but I never seen Lime Green anywhere. It's going to be weird to wear it, just like,dark green and maroon.
You will absolutely know you're on point when you get compliments. Preferably from strangers.Thats it!!! Otherwise you go ahead and live in your little fashion fantasy land.
Great video! I'm still trying to find a style, but it's hard in this Texas heat. You really can't layer and a lot of the fabrics that look good are inpractical in this region.
I live in Houston, so I'm familiar with the problem. I layer and wear some of the "impractical" fabrics (like tweed) during the infrequent bouts of cold weather. Also, when possible, I'll try to get lighter weight pieces, which gives me more opportunity to layer. For example, my sweaters and turtlenecks are all lighter and made from cotton, rather than heavier and made from wool. I own one suit, because I occasionally need one … but there's no reason for me to own more than one. Since it's so often hot here, I only have a minimal number of warmer, heavier pieces of clothing. Most of my clothes are for warm weather. For dress shirts (all year) I avoid heavier cotton weaves like Oxford and broadcloth. Instead, I choose lightweight weaves like poplin. (Pique is another good choice for warm weather.) My casual button-up shirts are cotton/linen blends, or cotton chambray (a casual lightweight weave that looks similar to denim). Even with t-shirts, I seek out the lightest weight cotton t-shirts. I only own one pair of jeans, because they're too heavy to wear most of the year. I more often wear cotton chinos, lightweight dress slacks, or lightweight tech pants. When the situation is casual enough, I wear cotton/linen flat-front shorts. I own two lightweight linen/wool sport coats. One is unlined, while the other is quarter-lined. This is important, since the lining doesn't breathe in hot weather, even if the outer fabric does. I'm not going to wear them when it's in the 90s, but I can wear them at higher temperatures than the average sports coat.
Thanks! I would say choose lightweight and breathable fabrics in hot weather. I go into more detail here: www.realmenrealstyle.com/hot-weather-dressing/
@@karlr750 Hi neighbor. I live in Austin, so I can relate. Thank you for detailed info. I hadn't considered some of the fabrics you mentioned, but I'm already on top of researching some brands that carry them. Thanks again.
I love your videos on style. As a health expert, I strongly vote against chemical mouthwash. It kills part a big part of the good and needed bacteria in your mouth. Instead, use olive oil, keep it in your mouth for 3 minutes and move it through your teeth. And guys, eat healthy. You mainly smell from the inside out because of what you eat!
@@thispersonrighthere9024 , Just on a health level, coconut oil and palm oils are the least healthy oils, while olive oil is one of the most healthy (and probably cheaper than its closest competitors).
Don't expect everything to fit you perfectly, and be prepared to tailor an item or two. Also, if you can, shop at thrift stores near well-to-do neighbourhoods. Rich folk offload quality clothes LONG before they're past their prime. I've heard him say stuff along those lines once or twice but I'm pretty sure he's of the belief that something can't be fully appreciated unless it costs a small fortune.
Agreed. I live in the UK and we have charity shops, donated clothes/goods sold for the benefit of a specific charity. Some tips...travel to a wealthy area..rich people churn their wardrobe often/wear clothes less. Some stores get new clothes...yes shops/manufacturer donated clothes still with tags in...in the last 6 months I've got 2 waistcoats (vest in usa) a suit, a jacket...I've priced them up. Almost £700 of brand new clothes for less than £50. Lastly, visit them regularly. Get to know the staff...they might be prepared to put stuff aside knowing you will buy it. I got my first tux that way about 20 years ago
Hi Antonio, I had a question and thought it might make an interesting video/topic…we’ve had an unusual hot snap the past week here on the northeast and I’ve found that my feet have been let’s say a little less than pleasant by the end of the day. I usually wear derby’s to work and nothing special dress socks. Any tips to keeping feet cool during the warm months when a dress shoe is required in the office?
1. T-shirt ( oversized for adolescent/ collar polo for adults ) 2. Sweatshirt 3. Washed blue Jeans/ black pants Fr I usually just go with this. Gotta look neat with budget 😎👍🏼
Hi Antonio. I'm a knife maker from south Texas and I'm looking for ways to step up my style at work even in the heat of Texas summer. Any suggestions for me?
I live in Houston, so I'm familiar with the problem. I layer and wear some heavy fabrics (like tweed) during the infrequent bouts of cold weather. However, when possible, I'll try to get lighter weight pieces, which gives me more opportunity to layer. For example, my sweaters and turtlenecks are all lighter and made from cotton, rather than heavier and made from wool.

I'm not going to wear them when it's in the 90s, but I can wear them at higher temperatures than the average sports coat.
I unfortunately live in the worst country for men’s fashion. The weather is often used as the excuse for no care given to appearance beyond the basics. I still try to dress nice w/out going over the top but it’s very hard. I often feel overdressed.
As regards craftmanship. I'm in this funny little situation where the "high-end" stores in my area (those few that sell classic menswear) only sell off the rack crappy stuff. The finish, the fabrics, everything is synthetic, cheaply made and even poorly presented. Suits, for example, are more often than not displayed with creases or wrinkles. And this applies to almost everything save for the highest-end shirts. And even then, the patterns most of the time are trendy and not at all appealing. Ties are also predominantly skinny and in "trendy" patterns, you can't find a decent pocket square anywhere (everything's polyester and in weird patterns). And I could go on and on... So what I realized is that the only places I could get quality clothes were, believe it or not, thrift shops. There I can sometimes find incredible timless pieces, made of great quality materials and at a significantly reduced price. The only downside is that it can be hard to find something that I like and that fits me (or that can be adapted). My point is, that sometimes you gotta adapt to your particular situation, and if budget or other circumstances don't allow you to just go to a store and buy what you want. Thrift stores are always worth a look. It will be more time-consuming, but you might be surprised with what you find there.

"Gentleman, that diamond is YOU. Go out there and shine!" - the ending is so inspirational, and its delivery is perfect. Thank you, Antonio.
If we ever meet in Ukraine, I'd like to shake hands with you.
My advice to men, as a woman, is to follow Antonio’s advice! He nails it. We women are attracted to men who have a clean, classic style.
I remember watching fantastic four and rise of silver surfer and getting inspired by Reed Richards formal sweater look before the bachelors party. And when I had money I knew what to buy then
Awesome! It's such a classy look.
Who are you? A guy who has been doing this for nearly 10 years. A guy who has experience in this. I can take your opinion or no. Most of the time, I find your opinion works. I like timeless more and more than trendy. I am in my 50s, now. Timeless and classic work so much better for me. I like the styles by Carey Grant and Thomas Shelby (not the lifestyle, of course).
I love the later styles of Thomas Shelby. The collar bar and three piece. Sadly it’s hard to replicate that because of the different fit of today
Your so right in my 50's if there is a new color in Athletic and and Casual, I buy just to add to my collection regardless of the color is isn't the most popular.
I wear Adidas shoes and socks and in the last 2 months I've been adding Adidas shirts to my wardrobe. In the 80's and 90's the Adidas Trefoil was a major brand logo. Adidas makes T-Shirts with the Trefoil logo. It's so classy and trendy at the same time. Regardless of each decade the Trefoil design never went out of fashion.
I like the methodical approach here. Lists of must-have pieces are useless nowadays, because stores are full of crap, and store employees, when you can find them, don’t know much.
I enjoy wearing my zoot suits on a daily basis. 100% wool with docker slim suspenders, and a fedora.
An inspiring video as always. I would like to contribute on oral health part of the video as a dentist. Do not use mouthwashes regularly, especially the alcohol based ones. They are going to dry your mouth and disrupt your oral bacterial flora which is critical for your oral health. Just use a tooth brush of your choice (medium hardness), an toothpaste that contains fluoride and a tongue scraper. And use your brush dry, do not wet your brush before starting. Have a great day.
Every man should have a suit in his wardrobe, even if he doesn't expect to wear it often. Finding yourself without a suit to wear when something comes up is a rotten feeling. I've only worn my suit a handful of times in the years that I've owned it, but I never thought, "I probably should've bought something else with that money"
Weddings, funerals, christenings...definitely need a suit in the wardrobe
If not a suit at least a shirt and a appropriate trousers
I agree, every man needs a great suit, you never know when you might need one.
this really is the best mens channel! very tasteful! not as loud as alpha M and not as classical as gentemens gazette. Although they both have some good video. But this channel! really is the best. And i like your demeanor so much!
Wish I could adhere to these simple rules. I’m not too far behind you Antonio as I have at least 100 dress shirts, 20+ suits, 10+ dress shoes and probably won’t stop adding to that! So I’m good for the next 275 years!!
Appreciate all of the videos and advice.
I think no one could ever go wrong with standard colors:
Shoes: White, black, brown
Pants: Black, dark blue
Shirts: White, light blue, navy
jackets: grey, navy
owning these will set you apart from your peers
Fellow Marine here and I'm very grateful for your expert insights so that I can present myself professionally in order to make more money for my family.

If you ever want to do a boots to business cammies to suit makeover, I'm your perfect target for it 🤣 Also, I haven't seen you discuss it yet but what are your thoughts on collar pins? In my business suit I wear my US flag/USMC flag pin both for flair but also if they served or were also a Marine that we have an immediate connection point.
I love that quote, “steal like an artist”. I read a book on this exact topic, and it was about how nothing is original anymore and that it’s okay to steal inspiration from anywhere as along as you make it your own. I find a lot of people try to make everything from scratch whether it be a website, program, sweater, or painting, and it’s always this long and drawn out process, where if you just copied someone else’s work and changed it enough to not be recognizable but it’s your own, then you can be successful.
Great video Antonio. Learned in the military to dress sharp and practice until it becomes second nature. Self pride in how you look makes a difference to you inside and out.
I was in the military I am still learning 😂
I do like that mate, hence why I consider myself minimalist.... two colours, 3 brands Lacost, RL and HB for the day to day life😉 by the way I don't dress for woman but to please myself, used to have huge expensive wardrobe... its a long story, bad affair...
One rule that you and alpha M teach that I've broken to my benefit is the military tuck rule. I think tucking a shirt with some fabric hanibg over is a better look, widens the frame and overall makes you look more attractive.
You outdid yourself this time my man
This piece of content is “Timeless”
I was appointed to a leadership position in my church last year and have had to go back and rebuild my wardrobe to look the part and represent my office well. Thanks for the helpful suggestions.
Great advice! (be) inspired, Imitate, innovate! I love this!
Thank you for giving a damn about how us men look. So many of us don't and its a shame.
i like to browse macys and marshalls once or twice a year
Our shoppe has a small team (3, just) with a combined 37 years of experience between us.
I've got a significant dress wardrobe, because it's literally 5 days a week, we still do ties, and I both sell and sew.
Everyone is involved in how things are displayed, and have input on what we carry and what we focus on.
We've gone from a fully formal, very niche location to a near half split between casual and dress.
I love vests, patterns, and shoes / boots, and I enjoy that more timeless looks are always in season.
It never feels like we're too dominated by one off, shortlived trends.
Because there is that input.
Green is ALWAYS asked for, but there are a lot of companies siding with really awful shades of green.
To the point we've limited what we bring in.
On blues and whites, absolutely. Micro herringbone white in navy and pale grey are my two go tos. Along with micro stripes, and the occasional burst of red or purple.
Having options is great, unless you have too many choices.
For me, I plan my wardrobe two weeks in advance (for work, which, again, is more formal). I have 30 shirts, 20 of which get worn in a month. What doesn't get worn gets shuffled to the front.
If I pass on that piece 3 months in a row, it's gone. It's wasting space, wasting time in my mindset, and clearly isn't something I'm overly attached to.
Unless it's something I only wear around Christmas time, or maybe something bolder for New Years.
I have 5 pairs of dress shoes, 5 pairs of dress boots, and 5 or 6 pairs of casual shoes.
In the fall and spring, it's boots. In the winter and summer, it's shoes (and shoes with covers if the weather calls for it, naturally).
One pair of dress shoes for each day of the week.
I typically get 150-200 wears out of a pair before they might get re-soled with leather soles or 250-300 with synthetic.
Still, that's NOT 50 wears a year.
That's 25. Meaning they tend to last 4+ years EACH. Naturally, when one gets worn down enough, I tend to cycle it out and replace it, but I find dress wear can be a big cost to set up everything and then you're good for a long while OR you start with a half dozen key pieces and slowly build something more substantial.
It's definitely not the wardrobe I would suggest anyone start with, and while I do have thousands of options with everything, I don't feel compelled to highlight one over any other.
You get your favorites, but that's bound to happen.
I like forcing myself to try different combinations, and find those are the times I get the most compliments.
The big thing I'd say to anyone building either dress or casual first is start timeless.
Once you have your base, add something trendy every so often, a pop of something that's a bit more adventurous.
If you layer timeless with trendy, skewing heavily towards the former, you'll eventually start to see the older, trendy pieces return to prominence. Or that funky pocket square ended up being your go to splash of color in an otherwise monotone outfit. That vibrant scarf really pulled a winter look together.
Maybe a quirky pair of socks added just the right amount of personality to your chino, v-neck, and overshirt look.
I like to think a guy could go back to that chunky knit sweater, maybe dressing up some jeans with boots.
I wear a uniform at work and when I’m home I’m usually working around the house . So I don’t have much of a weekly need for nicer clothing although I do enjoy wearing nicer clothing. My opportunities are limited to holidays, weddings, rare nights out or anytime I’m sure I’m not in danger of snagging, tearing, getting paint on my nicer clothing.
I’m in he same boat as you. My wife and I do a dress for dinner night. We eat a bit later in the evening. Then sit on the deck with coffee or drinks. I have kids if they are home also expected to dress up a bit.
Nice video! In terms of copying celebrity styles, it's easier to borrow from the celeb's more relaxed moments
rather than copy their most formally posed images.
Great video, Antonio! On your note of first impressions, I agree that we should treat styles that are different that what we are used to with an open mind. Being a retail worker and chasing shoplifters for 3 years taught me to be vigilant, and there are a few small details that I picked up on can certainly raise red flags. Granted, we had plenty of paying customers who (to put it bluntly) did not appear to be the traditional patrons of a fine men's clothing store, so I quickly learned how to be supervision/surveillance, but friendly at the same time. I also have something to add to "Practice makes Perfect:" I remember a time when I was in Portland Youth Philharmonic, and we (the trombone section) were in a section rehearsal led by a professional trombonist. He told us, "Practice doesn't make Perfect, Practice makes PERMENANT (so let's practice perfectly, please)." Don't just wear your new hat around the house; put on an OCBD, jeans, and a nice pair of dress shoes/boots to get a feel for the different outfits in which you can implement your new piece!
Amazing - thanks for sharing your story!
I'm all into about dressing sharp, whatever the occasion. Nowadays away from offices, my dressing requirements are simply casual, and when I play gigs I try several outfit combinations the days before. I want something that's comfortable to wear onstage and in the aftershow, that adapts to the weather indoors and outdoors, and that brings out my vibe outside from my "INTJ" personality type.
the principle is simple: EVERY CLOTHING SHOULD FIT YOUR CHARACTER. You don't have to rely on someone. Wear it WHAT YOU ARE.
I am 42 years old and genuinely don't like how I dress. I mostly wear trainers, jeans and a band/graphic t-shirt usually with a zip up hoodie. When I was younger (before kids and when I had a social life) I dressed much better and had a better wardrobe. Like someone else who commented of a similar age to me, I am in the process of losing weight and getting back in shape and I'd like to make more of an effort with how I dress. Should you happen to read this comment, do you have any advice of what someone could wear who works in tech, sits at a desk all day, doesn't often see clients, but who wants to escape the trappings of the "checked shirt" or "hoodie" that is often seen as part of the uniform. Love the content. Liked and hereby subscribed!
Shaving oil and a hemp shaving foam bar are an awesome combo for me. Smooth easy shave and protects my skin too.
I appreciate this channel. I'm now 51 and while I don't have the wardrobe down yet. I know that jeans and tee shirts are no longer serving me.
Very inspiring, thank you. It's very true what you say if you put the effort into being the best version of yourself. People will take notice. I've seen the difference. take a bit of pride in one's self. You'll look and feel like a boss. Inspired thank you sir.
Very helpful as I am going to expand my wardrobe in the next days.
Awesome!
Excellent vid, Antonio. I especially like your directive about "practice dressing sharp." I've built some revelatory insights in front of the mirror -- trying on pieces, integrating what works, and discarding what doesn't.
I've always been a strategic dresser -- each outfit to match the occasion. I know why I need to wear what I wear and what impression I strive to make. I call it "aspirational dressing." And I believe in the concept of enclothed cognition: performance is tied to appearance.
Arriving at my core wardrobe (the go-to garments) has taken time and patience. I've paid a boatload of school dues along my style journey. After much trial and error, I'm still trying to get it right. I'm always learning, evaluating, and experiencing.
I find it helps to figure out which outfits make you feel the best and then lean into that. Find your uniform first and then make small variations in color, formality, etc.
I’m 19 and kinda lacked a father figure in life so I’ve never known how to dress. I’m moving soon so I’m looking to kinda reinvent my self with a new style that I like because all of these stores are way to confusing. Thank you for the videoed! :)
When in doubt, go sharp young man!
Nice....... always something new to learn..... really enjoy your content.......on my way to becoming a proper gentleman........ watching from Kenya
Excellent video . Every man should see. GREAT STUFF!
Thank you so much for all your tips now I know how to do it effectively.
Another great video, very well done Antonio!
Always appreciate these updated videos. They make for an amazing review to measure how progress has been made after starting to follow these videos. Which tips have paid off and which to start working on next.
Glad you like them!
Hehe insanely proud that you ended up with my version of the style pyramid in the end 😇
As a Mason I have to wear a suit quite often and this has helped me tremendously
Great content, Antonio. I've been watching your videos for a few years now, and it has helped me greatly with finding a style and building a wardrobe that fits me (physically and personality-wise). A few good-enough, well fitting clothing goes a long way.
I work in behavioural health and the power of perception is often overlooked. I receive compliments from coworkers and patients quite often on my clothing and appearance. In public, people treat me as "important." These compound on each other where: I look good, then feel good, am acknowledged and raise people's opinion of me (generally), gain confidence, repeat the cycle.
I am currently overweight and losing some it, so I have lower-budget, decent quality Amazon Oxford shirts and chinos in the range of $20-25 per piece. Traditional business/smart casual style in earthy tones to compliment my complexion. A few pieces that can be combined in various ways. Nothing fancy.
The next level is to follow whatever works for you and ignore whatever anyone else tells you. This is when your style is your own and others will recognize you as an individual icon!
Trust me when I say that having a wide choice of jeans is a blessing, especially when all you can find are either skinny jeans as tight as yoga pants or construction worker jeans.
Simple and effective
Thank you!
Thank you Antonio.
Black Rock leather conditioner. Use cream polish
Wow Mr Aaron..... always enjoy and learn from your content......on my way to be a proper gentleman......
Love your content, it a great help rebuilding my style
Absolutely love this channel
So good, so good, so good!🙏🏼
One thing I notice when I dress better is that I carry myself better. I walk more erect, face more up and forward.
I do the 3-5/5-7 rule. Have 3 to 5 diffrent suits, have like 5-7 pairs of shoes. Think of your environment, your job, and what you like to wesr when you just go outside. Some choice but you waredrobe shouldnt look like the inside of the gucci store.
I've counted and I could wear a different outfit for a whole year... or almost. But clothes and styling is a hobby of mine so I've gone completely over board.
I wear ties to work even though my colleagues wear Mickey Mouse and Star Wars t-shirts. I just want to dress up because it makes me feel good. It's half of the fun going to work. I would become depressed if I couldn't dress up.
One of my siblings used to work for a tie store so I've gotten around 80 ties, 40 pocket squares, several lapel pins and much more for free. I can mix and match every combination I want to.
Very interesting - keep going!
Nice tips, thank you for the help.
Thanks for the video. Interestingly, slim, straight, and classic styles of pants in various waist sizes exist, but we can't get leg lengths in 29", 31" 33", etc. With online purchasing, short runs of these in-between leg lengths would be possible.
I person can shop little by little so men to tight budgets only need to shop one outfit once a week. I have an Adidas budget about $300 not including shoes, but it will take about to compete. I don't want go in debt so I shop within a budget.
What sucks shopping weekly it's Walmart has this color I'll buy it next week and while your there you get this and that and still go over budget.
Beautiful style
“Perfect practice makes perfect” I can hear 1sg John Mckim in my head.
great thanks for an awesome vid :)
For me I followed Steve Mqueen and Daniel Craig they pretty much have the same style
In this video, there is a book on the shelf behind your right shoulder. It looks like a comic book that has been graded and placed in a protective case by Comics Guaranty Corporation. Is it?
Cary Grant taught American men how to be cool in a suit.
Funny thing tho; Archie was British. Still, he & Sinatra are my defaults. Used to include James Bond (Connery), but I am not that cool
Knowing your brand know your style know your self . Be creative
“Lay off the savagé”. Bahahahahaha
Fashion on a shoestring budget should be a video.
Another series has 2; one on getting started & another about being budget friendly.
Two things I remember: 1. look in thrift shops of nice neighborhoods (guys get fat or widows will dump whole wardrobes) 2. For a foundation piece (suit, overcoat or shoes) invest in the best you can afford; if you get an $800 suit & it lasts12 years, that is cheaper than spending $150 every other year. Make sure it is a classic style, not just trendy.
Your vedios are great I learned so much from them , I was wondering if you can make a vedio about analyzing and going in details about hair style of
1 Harvey specter (suits)
2 Elijah Mikaelson ( the vampire diary & the originals)
3 Barney Stinson ( how I met your mother )
A vedio related to then like you did style analysis of James bond etc.
I have a very important question to ask that I can't find a video on and I'm wondering if you will do it. I went to Walmart today and bought Adidas Body Spray. It's not something you will over but because you use cologne. I have no idea when it's need when to wear it and wear to apply it. In Florida I want smell good all time but without smelling like an entire perfume counter. This is marked as perfum. Anyway I applied it under my arms, on spray on the chest, behind the ears and black of the neck. It didn't seem to last after I applied it. This is isn't body spray deodorant. It's marked as body spray fragrence.
So like if your outside for like a lunch or a walk you sweat do this like you use this a quick use before you can get cleaned up again. Instead of a second shower I use cleaning wipes but without soap body it doesn't work by water and ingresdients alone because my arm pits is still there.
Lime Green is in for 2023 it's color clothing I bought today at Walmart. It will always work in Florida as a pastel but I never seen Lime Green anywhere. It's going to be weird to wear it, just like,dark green and maroon.
😊 great video
You will absolutely know you're on point when you get compliments. Preferably from strangers.Thats it!!! Otherwise you go ahead and live in your little fashion fantasy land.
What kind of suit coat were you wearing in this video? it look just like what I'm looking for
Unless you wearing pieces of clothing independently, the number of combinations for 5 pieces of clothing is 5! which equals 120.
Re: shaving. Do you have a handy map like that one for scalps??
can you make a video of the infinite wardrobe? Please it would give a better visual and idea. Thank you
Great video! I'm still trying to find a style, but it's hard in this Texas heat. You really can't layer and a lot of the fabrics that look good are inpractical in this region.
I live in Houston, so I'm familiar with the problem. I layer and wear some of the "impractical" fabrics (like tweed) during the infrequent bouts of cold weather. Also, when possible, I'll try to get lighter weight pieces, which gives me more opportunity to layer. For example, my sweaters and turtlenecks are all lighter and made from cotton, rather than heavier and made from wool. I own one suit, because I occasionally need one … but there's no reason for me to own more than one.
Since it's so often hot here, I only have a minimal number of warmer, heavier pieces of clothing. Most of my clothes are for warm weather.
For dress shirts (all year) I avoid heavier cotton weaves like Oxford and broadcloth. Instead, I choose lightweight weaves like poplin. (Pique is another good choice for warm weather.) My casual button-up shirts are cotton/linen blends, or cotton chambray (a casual lightweight weave that looks similar to denim). Even with t-shirts, I seek out the lightest weight cotton t-shirts.
I only own one pair of jeans, because they're too heavy to wear most of the year. I more often wear cotton chinos, lightweight dress slacks, or lightweight tech pants. When the situation is casual enough, I wear cotton/linen flat-front shorts.
I own two lightweight linen/wool sport coats. One is unlined, while the other is quarter-lined. This is important, since the lining doesn't breathe in hot weather, even if the outer fabric does. I'm not going to wear them when it's in the 90s, but I can wear them at higher temperatures than the average sports coat.
Thanks! I would say choose lightweight and breathable fabrics in hot weather. I go into more detail here: www.realmenrealstyle.com/hot-weather-dressing/
@@karlr750 Hi neighbor. I live in Austin, so I can relate. Thank you for detailed info. I hadn't considered some of the fabrics you mentioned, but I'm already on top of researching some brands that carry them. Thanks again.
I try to follow the character John Reese's dressing style from the show Person of Interest.
Good role model
Man can you put this in pdf form? Especially the clothes! Looking up upgrade the wardrobe
I love your videos on style.
As a health expert, I strongly vote against chemical mouthwash. It kills part a big part of the good and needed bacteria in your mouth. Instead, use olive oil, keep it in your mouth for 3 minutes and move it through your teeth. And guys, eat healthy. You mainly smell from the inside out because of what you eat!
what's your opinion on doing oil pulling with coconut oil instead?
@@thispersonrighthere9024 , Just on a health level, coconut oil and palm oils are the least healthy oils, while olive oil is one of the most healthy (and probably cheaper than its closest competitors).
@@karlr750 how is coconut oil unhealthy?
@@thispersonrighthere9024 , It's very high in saturated fats. It has a higher concentration of saturated fat than lard does.
@@thispersonrighthere9024 can be used. I wouldn't swallow it though.
Such a great video.
Thank you!
What's your take on resale or thrift stors for people who are on the beans and rice budget?
Don't expect everything to fit you perfectly, and be prepared to tailor an item or two.
Also, if you can, shop at thrift stores near well-to-do neighbourhoods. Rich folk offload quality clothes LONG before they're past their prime.
I've heard him say stuff along those lines once or twice but I'm pretty sure he's of the belief that something can't be fully appreciated unless it costs a small fortune.
Thrift stores are a gold mine! Go for it :)
Agreed. I live in the UK and we have charity shops, donated clothes/goods sold for the benefit of a specific charity. Some tips...travel to a wealthy area..rich people churn their wardrobe often/wear clothes less.
Some stores get new clothes...yes shops/manufacturer donated clothes still with tags in...in the last 6 months I've got
2 waistcoats (vest in usa) a suit, a jacket...I've priced them up. Almost £700 of brand new clothes for less than £50.
Lastly, visit them regularly. Get to know the staff...they might be prepared to put stuff aside knowing you will buy it. I got my first tux that way about 20 years ago
I buy really quality items from thrift stores. I love vintage and some lux brands, I find them often new.
I loved the VitaMan range I don’t find it anymore here in Australia.
Antonio I need Help I have a pair of Olive Alligator Dress Shoes what is the best way too wear them Thanks
Good stuff 😊
Thanks 😁
what is the best place to shop for men's wear?
Do you have a book that covers all a-z topics incorporating all your videos in one book?
Hi Antonio, I had a question and thought it might make an interesting video/topic…we’ve had an unusual hot snap the past week here on the northeast and I’ve found that my feet have been let’s say a little less than pleasant by the end of the day. I usually wear derby’s to work and nothing special dress socks. Any tips to keeping feet cool during the warm months when a dress shoe is required in the office?
you want shorter strokes or different strokes? What you talking about Willis Centenio??
Is Vitaman better than Tiege?
1. T-shirt ( oversized for adolescent/ collar polo for adults )
2. Sweatshirt
3. Washed blue Jeans/ black pants

Hi Antonio. I'm a knife maker from south Texas and I'm looking for ways to step up my style at work even in the heat of Texas summer. Any suggestions for me?

nice - how about a link to that piece @ 4:52 !?
I unfortunately live in the worst country for men’s fashion.
The weather is often used as the excuse for no care given to appearance beyond the basics.
I still try to dress nice w/out going over the top but it’s very hard. I often feel overdressed.
Better to be overdressed than underdressed. 😁
Love the sportcoat, what are some of your go-to brands?

Ryan gosling is the guy close to my age that I envy and he has style I like and a wife i like too. Both people are close to my age.
As regards craftmanship. I'm in this funny little situation where the "high-end" stores in my area (those few that sell classic menswear) only sell off the rack crappy stuff. The finish, the fabrics, everything is synthetic, cheaply made and even poorly presented. Suits, for example, are more often than not displayed with creases or wrinkles. And this applies to almost everything save for the highest-end shirts. And even then, the patterns most of the time are trendy and not at all appealing. Ties are also predominantly skinny and in "trendy" patterns, you can't find a decent pocket square anywhere (everything's polyester and in weird patterns). And I could go on and on...
So what I realized is that the only places I could get quality clothes were, believe it or not, thrift shops. There I can sometimes find incredible timless pieces, made of great quality materials and at a significantly reduced price. The only downside is that it can be hard to find something that I like and that fits me (or that can be adapted).
My point is, that sometimes you gotta adapt to your particular situation, and if budget or other circumstances don't allow you to just go to a store and buy what you want. Thrift stores are always worth a look. It will be more time-consuming, but you might be surprised with what you find there.
