I've totally noticed the thing with the collar on jackets. i see other channels swearing by the bomber jacket and while I think it's a classic men's wear piece I just don't think it is flattering on guys like me who are relatively skinny. Going with the collar whether with the jacket or a shirt helps build up the chest i think
I am not skinny (5’9’ about 170lbs) and I still don’t wear bomber jackets for this exact reason. Every time I’ve tried one on I’ve always thought a collar would look better.
I tried my first pairs of skinny fit chinos and jeans today and they are hands down the best pants I have ever put on in my life. As a tall guy with skinny long legs, I've always hated buying pants, went for bigger waist size than I should have, and baggier fits - and boy how calamitously wrong I was. Skinny/ slim tapered is the way to go. They flatter and paradoxically shape your legs to make them look fuller and aesthetic.
Great tips, Brock! It's taken me a lifetime to figure out most of the skinny guy "dos" you just covered. I'll add two more to the mix: 1) when wearing a sports or suit jacket, always choose a notch lapel over peak style. And 2) Keep your hair trimmed short on the sides. It instantly makes your neck look more muscular.
whats wrong with working out if your skinny though? It makes you look better, makes you stronger and strengthens your joints. Don’t have to be huge, but adding 10-20 pounds of mass will boost clothing choices, confidence etc.
If only it was that easy. I'm sure I'm not alone as a skinnier guy with a stupid high metabolism. I spent a month eating over 4k calories per day and working out strength only through out the week, I gained 4 pounds. I know that's not an awful gain but it takes a lot of time, planning and work.
@@jesselucas7503 trust me as you get older your metabolism will slow down and you will put on weight but it’s amazing you managed to put on some weight already, great effort. If your body wants to stay thin then cool, let it, have fun and enjoy the ride.
@@aamirh3567 Totally agree, I thought you were shaming men for being skinny and not putting 10-20 pounds on. I just hit 26 so I figure my metabolism will likely slow down within the next few years
The cutoff sock worn inside the boot is brilliant. I never would have thought of that as a solution for padding your ankles. This video raises a question about underwear for short guys. I have no shame in admitting that I've worn Boy's size underwear, well, my entire life. It generally looks the same as men's sizes, and it's significantly cheaper. Though one time I remember buying my underwear in a department store, and I wasn't sure whether to buy the size L or XL, so I asked the sales clerk, and then she asked me, "How old is the child you're buying this for?" She blanched when I told her that the "child" was 55. Otherwise, I don't think I've ever seen men's underwear come in XS size.
Finally I found someone who speaks my fashion language. lol. Subscribed and binging. You'll be seeing a lot of me from now on. I welcomed myself into the family.
IM NOT ALONE! This video is the first time in my entire 40 plus years I realize there are more like me. It’s awesome. I’m 6 ft 130. Healthy…just can’t gain weight ever. So I am a higher up working in Biotech and am constantly struggling with style. What’s so nice is that I’ve been doing a lot of these things already and thought I was alone. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO.
thank you so much, the first time in my life I become so skinny, and took a lot of bodyshaming opinions, I'm feeling very ugly, stress and insecure. This video is helping me so much.
The struggles of a skinny guy like me in a tropical country with average temperature of 26 - 32 degrees Celsius. The common method of adding bulk with clothing is to wear more layers and long sleeves, which is horrible in this temperature. Unless i am staying in air conditioned places the entire time, i will sweat a lot and be very uncomfortable the entire time.
@@garnachowoodutd It does do wonders but if you have a small frame like me (6.25" wrist circumference) then you just end up looking wiry muscular instead of a bulky bodybuilder type physique. You end up looking great without a shirt on but fitting clothes is still a pain in the ass.
Cheers Brock. Great video. Any time I or someone else asks for style advice for skinny guys on r/malefashionadvice, it’s usually greeted with “hit the gym” or some other dismissive comment. Some people just don’t realize how hard it is even to find XS sizes in most stores.
I thought I hated skinny jeans. But I’m skinny and I bought some and they fit (for me) like regular jeans and I was like OMG! Now I swear by skinny and slim fit.
I really appreciate this video. I’m a skinny guy and I honestly use almost all the tips you gave in this video for clothing. What you said about skinny jeans is so true, I wear them because they fit me perfectly and look neat, other Jean style make me look tacky.
Some great tils in there! I think an additional one that might prove valuable is wearing thicker fabrics. Think a chunky sweater / cardigan vs. one in light merino wool. This adds a lot of perceived bulk to the wearer.
You always look fit and healthy, but imagine jacked Brock, "Modest Muscle"😂 I've been wearing a dark merino sweater over lightweight point-collar dress shirts (top button open) while it's still cool enough - it emphasizes my chest and biceps more than wearing an open jacket, and especially with my big beard I get a sort of "nautical" vibe
You forgot the best outfit to wear for skinny guys. Longline Cardigans; you can throw them on a tshirt, dress shirt, polo etc. They accentuate your whole body together, also giving the illusion of more height as well. They work best with a pair of skinnies or slim fit pants and a pair of boots. Its a bold look, and i always get compliments on it as a skinny guy
Want to look more muscular? Simple geometry. Imagine you look like an upright cascet. How does can you make it look wider? Add to the width/length of the shoulders, reduce the length of the overall cascet (i.e. the length of your t-shirts etc.).
I just wanna add 1 more point. Which is I think a BIG point. Which is wear shorts as a base layer. Your lower body will look fuller especially if you’re wearing jeans or even sweatpants.
Just found your channel. I love it! Can you do a video for short guys. Im 5'5, at best, and fit. Ill even help you with the title, "short with style." Thanks👍😃
Hey Brock, I'm 5'8 and slim with a 27" inseam so I have to get all of my jeans hemmed. T-shirts fit ok for the most part but anything with long sleeves (including jackets) need to be shortened. Do you also suffer from this plight?
Nice! I think slim guys have lots of options because clothes can be tailored for a slimmer fit, but they usually can't be expanded. Also, slim fit has been trendy for many years (although that's changing now).
On the Henley Shirt, I would suggest a CUTS Henley. While it does have synthetic materials it feels and fits nice. I believe a small or a extra small should work.
I’m 5’7”, slender, and with broad shoulders. I loved this guide! Still looking for a good polo for my body since I have skinny forearms and biceps though. Any suggestions? Thanks, Brock!
i also feel a shorter haircut makes your body look beefier versus a fro or longer hairstyles. kinda like how your business looks bigger if the area is groomed
Agree! Covid restrictions here in my country means I haven't seen my barber for six months. I'm counting the days until I can get a close cut and look beefier again.
Bro the v-neck looked great. You could definitely pull one off good! Your shoulder to head ratio might not be the best for it idk but it looked pretty damn good, youre not that skinny dude you have strong arms lmao
I notice some brands (like zara) have nice bobmber jackets with nice collars. I know technically its not "bomber style" but look very good. As a short and slim guy i like some without collars also . Because i like this clean sharp look .
I'm a skinny guy. Everything you mentioned in this video is absolutely right on point. Excellent video with great examples.
Glad you enjoyed it!

I was skinny when I first subscribed to this channel, but a year of lockdown has taken its toll.
So you mean worked out a lot at home and became muscular?

Being skinny is fine, its honestly a matter of getting the right clothes and style that FITS. (harder than it sounds).
being skinny sucks
@@alejandrohernandez-pq4wu I know the pain bro 😐😢
Being skinny is fine but stay skinny is not fine
Honestly, just having a sense of fashion helps. Wear bold and fashionable outfits and you'll look "better" than a gym rat with no sense of fashion.
I've totally noticed the thing with the collar on jackets. i see other channels swearing by the bomber jacket and while I think it's a classic men's wear piece I just don't think it is flattering on guys like me who are relatively skinny. Going with the collar whether with the jacket or a shirt helps build up the chest i think
Yeah, it’s a trendy jacket style but not the best for everyone.
This is also true if you have a long neck. Collars are almost a must
100% agree. I live in the collared shirt style jackets because theyre just way more flattering for a tall skinny guy like me
i find in zara bomber jacket wit ribbed collar and this look very good

Skinny/ slim tapered is the way to go. They flatter and paradoxically shape your legs to make them look fuller and aesthetic.
Went from Light heavy weight to Featherweight in 18-months of hardcore gym. Clothes definitely look better on a good body regardless of the cost
Polo Shirts are truly a life saver for slim/skinny guys. Very versatile and instantly elevates your overall style! Great styling tips Brock!
@Rick Vis Took this advice; bought a slim fitting white shirt, rolled up the sleeves. Great idea for a 6' 160 guy like me. Thx.
Great tips, Brock! It's taken me a lifetime to figure out most of the skinny guy "dos" you just covered.

Hair thing is true now that I think about it, thanks man.

Just because someone's skinny doesn't mean they're not working out. I'm a year into my lifting journey, around 10lbs up but I'm still really skinny.

Please make video about beat colors for each skin tone
I absolutely love this video
Whoop whoop. I can definitely affirm that BBWs love skinny guys.
i like bomber jacket for its function, really keeps me warm. It's on point and affordable !
Smart idea about cutting an old sock to fill the gap in your Chelsea boots!
Can you a video on style tips for shorter, muscular guys? (how to look taller)
Some great tils in there!
I think an additional one that might prove valuable is wearing thicker fabrics. Think a chunky sweater / cardigan vs. one in light merino wool. This adds a lot of perceived bulk to the wearer.

I have an ectomorphic body type as well. 6.5 wrists, etc. It's been a journey to be less stout I suppose and be okay with it.
6.5 inch wrist is not ectomorphic unless you’re really tall.
Thanks for this man. Greetings from Philippines. 🙂
Love the way who you are☺️
I'm surprised there was no mention of the sportcoat here. Its purpose is to build up the chest, arms and neck.
Im more lanky, I guess, bc skinny jeans are a no-go 😅. My quads fill up regular jeans, and then I have skinny calves 😂.
Being skinny is a luxury, clothes and accessories looks cool when wearing
Hey. I subscribe to Hello Fresh and get veggie meals. Also, thin guys have more clothing/ fashion options
