I would recomend everyone to avoid trends at all costs and dress in a way that flatters them personally. Be it if you look better in flat front pants, pleats, skinny pants or wide cuts. At the end of the day everyone is different and individual style should reflect that, following trends will make you blend into a crowd and less distinguished.
I never stopped wearing pleats and cuffs. I will be wearing corduroy pants for the next 5-6 months instead of jeans. And I'll wearing an overcoat instead of a pea coat this winter.
I am 60 years old and have lived through the trends since the 1970s. And thank goodness, since clothes over the last couple of decades have been far less comfortable.
@@gentlemansgazette All compliment each other but If I only had the money to buy one item, it would be the knitted polo, so flattering and fresh, looks both modern and timeless all at the same time.
Trouser cuffs! I have been fighting with tailors for years over this issue. I almost always have trouser cuffs & they treat me like a doddering old man. Love the idea of band collars and detachable collars. Where are we finding these?
Thank god for the first 2, as a not big but not small guy the skinny type fit gives me a very odd shape. Its hard to find loose fit pleats and suit pants. Fantastic.
Not all, but many of these trends are suited best to specific body types. Some best suit taller men, and stouter men like pleats, broader silhouettes, double breasted jackets and long overcoats. Others are better suited to heavier set men, like spear point collars that elongated a round face and bigger watches for chunkier wrists. Someone with a different body type would not be flattered by these trends. It isn't a one size fits all world and trends are just that. They come and go but rarely reflect what is actually best suited for a particular individual unless they succeed by chance. Best advice is to stay within the classic gentleman framework, but choose clothing and accessories that work for your specific fit. I love overcoats and trench coats, but as a fit, trim man with a 30 inch waist at 5'8", they only look right on me if properly trimly fitted at the waist and shoulders and are cut above the knee. Cords tend to flatter shorter men the same way stripes do, but wide wale cords, like broader stripes are too busy looking for shorter men. Cuffs need to be of shorter length on trousers for shorter men than taller men, etc. Polo sweaters tend to also be cut off the rack too long for shorter men and because they are often ribbed at the bottom are more difficult and expensive to get altered for length. A few of these trends are fit neutral like Western shirts and creative formal attire, but stray a bit too far from classic gentleman attire into here today, gone tomorrow trends that sometimes flatter no one at all. Yes, you can break the rules and don't always need to be a fuddy duddy, but take a long look at adopting a trend and making sure it looks good on you personally before taking the plunge. Looking like everyone else at the moment to try and fit in may appeal to some and turn off others. Its a judgment call.
@@janoschfoerster2921 The funny part is that most of the advice I gave can be found in other Gentlemen Gazette videos posted previously. These are more or less basic rules of classic men's wear that I certainly did not invent.
Being in India. It’s cheaper to get clothes tailored rather than get ready made branded clothes. This means cuffs and pleats are more accessible over here
Fun Fact: you can attach a button to the back side of a Granddad collar, and wear detachable collars with it! Just make sure the button lines up with the buttonhole in the back of the detachable collar!
Great tip! Alternatively, you could add a buttonhole instead of a button that will enable you to use the traditional studs. Granted, adding a button is quicker and easier, but the buttonhole is a traditional solution to consider, too 🙂
When I lived in El Paso and worked in banking, it was very common to see attorneys, businessmen, and ranchers all wearing cowboy boots and a cowboy hat with a suit.
I have a Spier & Mackay full canvas sportcoat with the unfinished sleeves and I want to know where I can go to actually make them into surgeon's cuffs because I took them to a local tailor and I think I told him about making them into surgeon's cuffs and I think he said he could do it but then he forgot and just sewed on like normal and I didn't bother to ask him about it when I picked up the coat.
@@gentlemansgazette It is mainly about the drape, about his beautiful suits. I've never seen someone in such a gorgeous suit. It would also be interesting to find out how he maintains them to always look like new. There is clearly something that differentiates him from any other bespoke suitmaker. Could you look, for example, at Kirby Allison? He looks in his bespoke suit like an ordinary man. You would observe the hallmarks of a tailored suit only if you got close to him. Instead, with AskOkey, everything is impressive, even though he doesn't wear accessories. Thank you so much.
Trouser cuffs don't have to be a set width though, so if someone is shorter in height or has shorter legs, going for a proportionate cuff can still look great
There is a place for it, but unfortunately so many of the legacy brands still in existence now have quality levels that have sunk to the level of fast fashion, but still maintain price points way above that level
Los trajes de los años 30, 40 y 50 me parecen muy excesivos en su anchura, yo prefiero los cortes ligeramente más acorde al tipo dd cuerpo de cada varón, como los que estaban de moda en las primeras dos décadas del siglo XX en Alemania.
I'm glad corduroy is making a comeback. I've always liked it.
I have 3 corduroy shirts and 2 corduroy sports jackets.

Best advice! You won't look good, if you don't feel well in your clothes.
@@angryBOT Happy you agree, it's just sad that not many people follow it.
Thank goodness. These are all clothing essentials in my humble opinion.

I wear corduroy most of the year

70s pants weren't exactly comfortable
Great outfit, a big fan of the fundamentals on display, like a knitted polo, sports jacket, side adjusted trousers with loafers.
Glad to hear you enjoyed the outfit! Which piece stood out most to you?

Ivan killed it! Great job with him for this video.
Thank you! 🙌
I'm glad to see pleats back. I had a pair of really nice pleated pants in the nineties. Up until recently they were kind of difficult to find.
Banded collars...I was killing it in the mid 90s, not exactly my "youth". Collar pins from the 80s...I will still toss one on once in a while.
I like banded collars and was buying them ahead of the current trend. I like them regardless of what's popular now.
Excelente contenido. Me gusta esta clase de videos, ya que me considero un hombre amante del estilo masculino y la moda. Saludos.
Conway Twitty part was great!
There have been some great Family Guy references in several episodes
Thankfully, classic style transcends the vicissitudes of fashion trends.
Make some videos talking about different classic styles of different countries.

I've bought 4 banded collar shirts from Amazon over the last 2 or 3 years
I wore the banded collars back in the mid-90s but I never knew whether or not to button the top button. Neither way seemed to look right.
RAPHAEL IS BACK ON TREND!!!!!!!!!
Time to get my order in for triple pleat pants!

Great to hear you've been picking up tips from our other videos! 🙌 Equally, awesome to hear your thoughts on style - thank you for sharing!
@@gentlemansgazette You guys do a great job and provide a lot of hepful resources.
I only wear 30s-40s style suits and 80s suits.

No. 12: Remington Steele, No. 15: The Persuaders
Pleats and cuffs are a classic look. Pleats do not work on everyone. I love them but my build says “nope”.
Thanks Lord.
k Dramas really do the collar jewelry very well.
Good man with the timex auto !

Those of us with a belly are grateful for the return of looser styles
band collars are popular in asia
the Reece button hole machine was definitely not recently invented it has been in use in clothing since the beginning of the 20th century
Quite right, thanks for keeping us sharp!

I m fan of black frock coat for black tie I wear black frock coat with sliver vest with siver ascot with black dress boot
It sounds like your black tie ensemble is inspired by traditional morning wear?
When I lived in El Paso and worked in banking, it was very common to see attorneys, businessmen, and ranchers all wearing cowboy boots and a cowboy hat with a suit.
90's pleats can make one look like a maths teacher sometimes
Or MC Hammer.
But I like pleats.
I have a Spier & Mackay full canvas sportcoat with the unfinished sleeves and I want to know where I can go to actually make them into surgeon's cuffs because I took them to a local tailor and I think I told him about making them into surgeon's cuffs and I think he said he could do it but then he forgot and just sewed on like normal and I didn't bother to ask him about it when I picked up the coat.
If your tailor says they can do it, then it seems best to ask again
I love double breasted jackets, especially pea coats. And, as a swing music aficionado,i would mind zoot suits making a comeback.
Can you make a video about AskOkey? Thank you.
What would you want a video like that to look like/contain?

When embracing the Western esthetic, don't forget the bolo tie. It's a timeless classic!
Certainly a staple if you want to go "all-in" on the Western aesthetic!
No socks on sleepers? Not for me. Otherwise, the outfit is awesome.
To each their own! Thanks for your support
Unless one has long legs, cuffs aren't the move to make, no matter pleats or flat front.
Trouser cuffs don't have to be a set width though, so if someone is shorter in height or has shorter legs, going for a proportionate cuff can still look great
Bring back Nehru moleskin vests
Um, some of this, yes, sure. I see some things that are getting crammed in as trends rather than lasting stayability or whate'er...
these people won't still want Western shirts much in couple more years, etc.
yes, most of the brands that now offer surgeon cuffs for an "affordable" price have the sleeves too long.
Mississippi Man there, but neigh in Western shirt.
granddad collars DON'T work so well w' a jacket, tho.
sometimes the subtitles don't know what he exactly said, either.
Even they are back fast fashion has taken over the entire planet

OK, I don't care how much money David Beckham has, or how impressive his tattoo collection is, but NEVER EVER wear sneakers with a suit.
Broader silhouettes are trash
The band collar, or waiter's collar? God, no, please God,no.
Oh man, reportoftheweek has been preparing his whole life for this
True!
