It's quite refreshing to see a real Lady and a Gentleman that are actually quite knowledgeable about menswear and are not pretending to know like so many others on this medium. Good advice, and I am pleased to see that I practice all the advice given.
to be honest… I don’t get the meaning of the headline (and of the video in general). Everything she says is basic knowledge, nothing specific from „a woman’s perspective“; and it’s so basic that you can say it in 3 to 4 minutes instead of 12:38. A bit disappointing
If I'd compare men and women on their approach to dressing up, the first thing to note is that women typically look at a mirror the last thing before stepping out. So first things first: invest in a full body mirror! Not shoes, tailoring, accessories, but a big mirror! No mirror means no way of assessing anything, which is why I'd argue most men fail in their overall presentation. Women are used to using a mirror. You can see women when shopping looking at and comparing clothes to their current outfit using a mirror. Rule number two: get used to a mirror! :)
It's great to hear Jemima's perspective. I focus so much on the minutiae of dressing well that I sometimes forget about the big picture ideas she brings up.
Interesting video. I've always found a great tie beats any watch as a conversational-opener. (I have eight watches, to match any occasion.) Over-dressing? Yep - very important. Compliments on that suit, Chris
A lot of hurt people in the comments lol very sensitive to opinions. I got some few good hints and tips from her perspective that will really help me, I been too deep into watches and fashion but the overall presentation is what matters. I really like what she said about it’s not just about the item, it’s about the story and meaning that you have with each item and how you can start a conversation on that 👌🏽.
I like that you are mixing things up with the presentations and a woman's perspective on a mans styling is always welcome. On that note I was surprised she didnt mention the subtle use of a good quality cologne to complete the picture( you cant talk about everything of course). I do find that if you are well put together sartorially and employ the restrained use of an appropriate fragrance there are many women who welcome the opportunity to come and compliment you....half the battle, if thats your aim. Other than that I'm really enjoying your channel, thank you.
Excellent. Love Jemima’s subtle blackwatch tartan jacket BTW. Interesting about the watch but not surprising as it’s essentially jewelry? I’d be curious what she thinks about rings on a man. More Jemima, please.
Thank you for another great video. Agree with all the points made. A note regarding suede shoes, which should generally not be worn with formal dress. Perhaps Chris can put together a video to address this point, and emphasize what style of clothing would be appropriate for suede shoes and belts, whether loafers or lace up.
I would suggest that there are no rules about what to wear with what. If it works for you, then wear it. If you like suede shoes with a suit, then wear it. I’d be honest enough to say that I would prefer to see suede shoes with a suit over some shapeless or tight suit worn with black dress shoes. I asked my wife about what she notices, she said it was just neatness. Clothes well ironed, shoes well polished. Nothing too garish. She also said that she looked kindest of all at a man who wore his clothes confidently but not arrogantly. That look would also include neat hair and well-presented shoes. Once over a first impression (and you never get a second chance to make a first impression), it was down to personality. To her mind, a gentleman in the true, old fashioned, sense of the word.
@@theofarmmanager267 Wearing suede shoes is about whether they complement the rest of the outfit or not. Suede shoes generally don't look right with a worsted wool suit because the textures clash, but they're excellent with a more relaxed suit like a flannel, tweed, linen or cotton suit. Especially with a flannel or tweed suit, the texture of suede is a perfect complement. Even if there aren't 'rules', a well-dressed person uses concepts to put together a good outfit. There's no reason one should have to choose a clashing outfit over a poor fit.
@ thank you for the full reply. I was replying to the point that “suede shoes should generally not be worn with formal dress” and disagreed with that. However, your reply is very helpful to me at least
@@theofarmmanager267 It depends is considered to be formal dress. Suede shoes would generally be a poor choice for the most formal modes of dress: white tie, black tie, morning dress, business formal, or a lounge suit for an evening affair. If you're wearing a more relaxed suit for a more relaxed occasion, then suede shoes are an excellent choice.
Valid points. Show a bit of effort in dressing yourself. People do respond differently. Just a personality and some sense. She provided the sense. The feathers do make the bird.
Hi, thanks so much for this video, it really helpful for me. It is highly appreciated if you could make more this kind of films from elegant women's (such as the lady on this film) perspective about men's wearing.
I'd like to know more about the choice of watch. I do have a collection of watches. I'm interested in what pairs nicely with what. Should the dial colour match or contrast? The size of the watch. Bracelet or strap? Complications and so on. What about Cufflinks and/or a tie slide?
See, I'm not buying some of this. I've been wearing a couple of Omegas (not at the same time, obvs) for years now and not once has a lady commented. One bloke did once but he was watch nerd so he doesn't count. Agree about shiny shoes though.
Are you over 6’2”? Women if she wants you will pick you in cargo shorts. Lol 80% Of women want 20% of men. 🤷🏽♀️ the way it is. The watch is for you to enjoy! Anyways, most women have the face buried in the phone ( black mirror ) anyway. 😂
I would say 98% of people have no clue about watches other than maybe knowing a Rolex is an expensive luxury brand. I have relatively inexpensive microbrand watches that I've received compliments from women on a particular wristwatch because they thought the color was nice, or the leather band was pretty. The only person that ever commented on my vintage Omega Seamaster was a coworker's husband who turned out to be a fellow watch enthusiast. 😅
Women always comment to me either on shoes or on the overall way the look is put together. I always wear a watch and have some really nice ones. No woman has ever commented or appeared to notice.
Many thanks for the information on watches. As far as wearing a white shirt with a few open buttons is concerned , I for one would not do something like that. Thank you both anyway.
I’d be interested in knowing more about what she thinks is a proper fit - particularly regarding trousers where the break, or lack thereof is traditionally more a matter of personal taste. I sense that she prefers a no break look, but it would be nice to get some clarification on that. Regarding watches, I got the impression that an interesting watch was a conversation starter at a social event, but that the absence of a watch wasn’t necessarily a deal breaker. Overall, an interesting video, though I didn’t notice much of difference from the normally excellent advice given here.
Absolutely brilliant to hear a woman's opinion, especially about shoes. Nothing worse than an unpolished or mismatched pair of shoes. Ruins the rest of the outfit. My father was a Marine, and his shoes shone, as do mine when I get dressed up.
Depends on what you're wearing... If you're dressed in a suit, you're not gonna wear an apple watch with said suit... Similarly, you're not gonna wear a Patek Calatrava with your gym kit, or athleisure attire... I mean, you could if you want, each to his own, but doing so, says a lot about your style, or lack thereof, & personality.
Interesting viewpoint, obviously very UK centric. Down here in Australia we would have a slightly different perspective. It would be cool to hear what a hotter climate woman would have to say. I know, your English etc, but TH-cam is everywhere. Thanks for the video though.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! We really appreciate you sharing your perspective from Australia - it's always great to hear different viewpoints.
Another great video thank you, I think this channel deserves more attention - Rampley & Co maybe in that space you could partner and organise events with people like Ash Jones from Chaps Guide and others of this caliber - I think I watched all your videos and used some of your style advice even though my budget doesn't afford me many Rampley & Co products - Thank you anyway
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful suggestion! We're delighted to hear that you’ve enjoyed our videos and found the style advice helpful.
Nobody ever talks about poket watches well let me tell you ladys and gentelmen theres people out there that still use them thats wat the little poket on your suits right poket is for an sometimes on your trousers right poket
My view is that as long as you are comfortable with what you are wearing and have made an effort makes those of both sexes take notice. Since losing a lot of weight, I now enjoy getting dressed up again. I notice a lot of people taking notice and having a second look. Shoes would have been on the top of the list for me. I agree with the point of dressing to match your personality, I am much more conservative but occasionally throw in a splash of colour . Recently, I have been getting compliments on watches, albiet cheap dress watches that I have purchased with different colour faces and bands, but I think people notice as they compliment the outfit. I do think Jemima's views, though, were general and not really that different what anyone else would notice. As a side note for me, I never feel dressed without my fragrance. I have had women in the office say they knew I was there before they saw me as they could smell my cologne,I would have thought fragrance should have been on the list as well. 12:1212:12
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us! We absolutely agree that confidence and personal style are key, and it's great to hear how much you're enjoying expressing yourself through your wardrobe and accessories.
An interesting and enjoyable video; thank you for making it for us. I like to watch most of them at least twice before commenting. While Jemima was speaking, I was reading the expressions on Chris’s face. Her comments about colour seemed at odds in places: on the one hand advising that we should wear complementary colours but not to go overboard, but as the camera focused on the stylishly colourful navy blue blazer, with sky blue tie and complementary pocket square, Jemima opined that a well put together look should predominantly be neutrals. Hmmm. The overall look of an outfit, and the fit, are definitely the most critical. I would have liked a comment about the importance of combining fabrics and textures in an outfit. Having a wrist watch as observation No.3 completely threw me. Not once has a lady ever commented on my wrist watch, a point unanimously confirmed when I asked the '7 things women notice… ‘ question to ladies in my social circle. I am either mixing in the wrong company or could it be that my late father’s 1972 gold J W Benson is usually tucked under my shirt cuff? We had to wait seven minutes before shoes were mentioned. I don’t know whether it is the same for other commentators here, but, unlike wrist watches, ladies definitely notice our shoes. Odd though it may sound, I have lost count of the compliments I have received about my mirror-shined Oxfords and brogues. Keeping them in a good state of repair is a must because that certainly gets noticed too. The colour matching of a belt with shoes was an excellent point. Some of us like to include the watch strap in that colour pairing, even if it is rarely seen. Jemima was spot-on about investing in quality shirts but, curiously, said nothing about the fit of a shirt, the elevation of a look by wearing a double / French cuff, and the choice of cufflinks. A few words of opinion about casual shirts, including the Oxford button down, would have been equally helpful. As for wearing an open neck shirt with a suit, I think Jemima has been spending a little too much time admiring Tom Ford’s personal dress style. Lastly, it is gratifying that Jemima acknowledges any man who makes the effort to dress well, and does not harshly judge being slightly overdressed for the occasion.
Ive just recently realise how i look better and am more comfortable when well dressed. Probleme is, most outfit cost an arm and a leg😅. Im not trying to overdress either but damn. Hows a 50k guy suppose to dress in this damn economy??? Is it only that i dont know where to look?😅
I just put a chocolate brown hornback strap on a cartier tank, and I'm busy patina dying shoes to create the perfect pair for a new tweed suit I have received from my tailor. The kitchen smells of acetone and wood smoke, and I'm watching this. Getting dressed is the biggest ROI a man has at his disposal, and they ignore it. Whether in the restaurant, coffee shop, business or women... Only today, I got compliments on my style, nothing special, just a fairisle pullover under shearling b3 with a tweed Baker boy cap, brown chinos, and brogue boots. Women notice the watches, I mainly wear my vintage watches at the country base, tanks, vintage seamaster, and a JLC. Get out there rummage in thrift shops, get on ebay, get the discount codes, find a tailor, get measured and at least you have a starting point. Like everything else, you're the average of the tribe you associate with. If they are poorly dressed dorks, you will be too. Be better.
Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful and insightful comment! We absolutely agree - personal style is a powerful investment, and it’s great to see how much attention you put into every detail.
Jemima; in the "Overall Look" portion of the presentation, do you agree a man who knows his "colors" can use this information to his advantage in the "Overall Look"? Thank you for your presentation.
@@MBCGRSi can see it! The other guy is a total simp. Trying to impress women by pretending he likes them for who they are!! 😂😂 He’s dry as a bone. Or is his bone dry. 😂😂
@@ahiwalter9153because her body count will determine her ability to bond to a man. There’s a difference between oxytocin and dopamine! And white knighting for women won’t get you laid. She wants two types. Pretty boys and bad boys. The rest of us are her second choice! Alpha f-cks beta bucks$. With respect, your response screams simp. It’s ok, I was one as well in the past. Women want to be dominated. What’s this lady is saying is what she looks at in clothing but she will always f-ck the man that makes her wet! Even if hens in cargo shorts!!
For sure. And remember you’re her second choice. Why divorce is so hight. 80% initiated by WOMEN. You pay with your trust for the next Chad she’s going to hump cause she was “ not happy “ I’m thrilled that men are opting out of marriage. A generation of lonely women will put them back in line!! Men, spend on yourself and rent! With respect this women’s opinion on clothing is spot on but what a women says is meaningless. A women speaks with her ACTIONS! Not matter what you suit, she will go home with the man that makes her w-t. Good fashion advice however. 🙏🏾
I don’t think that the watch you wear has a story to tell. How can a watch tell a story. At Max it’s an old watch which makes it obvious that you inherited it. But for me It just has to match your own taste and in best case fits well with the rest of your outfit. For some women it’s important that it is an expensive watch. These are the women I avoid. Also how should the tie tell someone who you are? Yes it can have a „loud“ design or the opposite but beside these extremes it says nothing of you besides that you wear a tie at all and are aware of your appearing in general.
I had a watch that told a story, it was a Hemingway watch. My tie told the police who I was, and now my cuffs aren't French. Bespoke bovine excreta. The shallow shmata people seeking to sound profound. Dressing isn't all that difficult to pull off when you know what to put on. One book by Flusser is all it takes.
So a woman notices men's fashion differently than men who geek out over it in TH-cam videos? I'm shocked! I found her perspective both enlightened and useful. Perhaps some of us guys overthink things
Ladies say all this, but will go off with the 6’4 guy unshaved on a motorcycle. 😂😂
I'm happy to hear that it's better to overdress, as I'm updating my wardrobe and want to dress very well when the opportunity arises.
Thank you for sharing!
Whatever you wear, make sure you own it. Nothing is more attractive to women than your confidence, competence and attitude.

If the outfits cost an arm and a leg, they should offer you a 50% discount.

Jemima; in the "Overall Look" portion of the presentation, do you agree a man who knows his "colors" can use this information to his advantage in the "Overall Look"? Thank you for your presentation.
Thank you for your comment.
Can we talk about Mr Modoo’s suit? It’s a thing of beauty. Love the single button and the peak lapel.
She totally knows what she's talking about.
One of my favorite styles is the Streseman Suit in my wardrobe next to the Harris tweed suit
Women notice your face and height first. Men often dress for men and women dress for women.
If a woman is interested in what watch you're wearing, they are also interested in the car you drive, the house you live in, and your trust account...
How is that any different than men being interested in their bust size, waist size & how many men they’ve been intimate with?
@ahiwalter9153 Liking a woman because she is a redhead. Is very different from liking her because she is rich. You can't see the difference..?
@@MBCGRSi can see it! The other guy is a total simp. Trying to impress women by pretending he likes them for who they are!! 😂😂 He’s dry as a bone. Or is his bone dry. 😂😂
@@ahiwalter9153because her body count will determine her ability to bond to a man. There’s a difference between oxytocin and dopamine! And white knighting for women won’t get you laid. She wants two types. Pretty boys and bad boys. The rest of us are her second choice! Alpha f-cks beta bucks$. With respect, your response screams simp. It’s ok, I was one as well in the past. Women want to be dominated. What’s this lady is saying is what she looks at in clothing but she will always f-ck the man that makes her wet! Even if hens in cargo shorts!!
For sure. And remember you’re her second choice. Why divorce is so hight. 80% initiated by WOMEN. You pay with your trust for the next Chad she’s going to hump cause she was “ not happy “
I’m thrilled that men are opting out of marriage. A generation of lonely women will put them back in line!! Men, spend on yourself and rent!
With respect this women’s opinion on clothing is spot on but what a women says is meaningless. A women speaks with her ACTIONS! Not matter what you suit, she will go home with the man that makes her w-t. Good fashion advice however. 🙏🏾
Apple watches are both expensive and ugly in my opinion
I don’t think that the watch you wear has a story to tell. How can a watch tell a story. At Max it’s an old watch which makes it obvious that you inherited it. But for me It just has to match your own taste and in best case fits well with the rest of your outfit. For some women it’s important that it is an expensive watch. These are the women I avoid. Also how should the tie tell someone who you are? Yes it can have a „loud“ design or the opposite but beside these extremes it says nothing of you besides that you wear a tie at all and are aware of your appearing in general.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
I had a watch that told a story, it was a Hemingway watch. My tie told the police who I was, and now my cuffs aren't French. Bespoke bovine excreta. The shallow shmata people seeking to sound profound. Dressing isn't all that difficult to pull off when you know what to put on. One book by Flusser is all it takes.
The advice on neutral tones is so boring - everyone is becoming far too beige these days.
Skin tight trousers should be banned.
Not sure about the belt, but her coat is a force. Otherwise, the video lacks depth.
In other words she doesn’t answer his questions and waffles on and on. Chris covers all these points. Fail in my view
What question didn’t you think she answered? A few places she was polite about a difference of opinion.
I had no problem with her answers at all. Chill, pal.
What video were you watching?
So a woman notices men's fashion differently than men who geek out over it in TH-cam videos? I'm shocked!
I found her perspective both enlightened and useful. Perhaps some of us guys overthink things
If she's been working in men's wear for a long time, perhaps she should dress in women's clothes once in a while. 👹
Fully irrelevant...
